The Lone Rangel
These is great debate going on between Republicans, right leaning bloggers, conservative political pundits and Rush over just what will happen if the Democrats take over.
IF!? Hell Rangel thinks it’s a lock.
I’m just a little ole F list blogger dude, but any right leaning individual who thinks that there is no harm in the Democrats taking over is frankly not firing on all cylinders.
Have Republicans been making big mistakes and engulfed themselves in isolated instances of political corruption and sexual deviancy, of course.
But this is about ideas and ideology. I don’t want lunatics like Rangel, Pelosi and Reid in charge and the idea that letting Democrats take over this will “teach republicans a lesson” is fucken ridiculous.
Political pundits and bloggers who want to continue the “let the Democrats win drumbeat”, better go back and read up on the agendas of these Democrat lunatics.
Frankly right leaning people who would allow this Democrat advantage frankly do not sound like true Republicans or conservatives.
This is another reason why I almost exclusively read left leaning sites. If more right leaning types did this we would not even be having this discussion.

Hi-yo, Charlie! If House Finally Goes Democratic, Bumptious Congressman Becomes Ways and Means Czar: ‘Listen, I Can’t Have a Secret Agenda—I’m 76’
By Jason Horowitz - New York Observer
It’s three weeks until Election Day and Charlie Rangel is already acting like he’s in charge.
With the Democrats poised to take over the House in November—putting the 76-year-old dean of the New York Congressional delegation on the verge of landing the most potent and coveted job of his career—Mr. Rangel’s recent public appearances have taken on the look and feel of a victory tour.
“When I become chairman of the Ways and Means Committee,” he said Thursday night in front of the Hudson River School paintings at the New-York Historical Society, “we will have power over the entire tax system, Social Security system, pension system, Medicare and all international trade.”
For some Republicans—most notably President George W. Bush—the thought of that broad mandate falling into the bejeweled hands of Mr. Rangel is a nightmare. The Republicans have been sharing their dark vision with anyone who will listen, using the prospect of a Rangel chairmanship to scare up support for their own candidates. (“It is a bad thing,” said Republican National Committee spokesman Aaron McLear. “Taxes across the board will be raised.”)
In his gravelly, undulating voice, Mr. Rangel dismisses it all as so much partisan nonsense.
“Republicans have to say these things,” he said. “If I was down in the polls like they are, I’d knock Charlie Rangel too.”
Mr. Rangel, clad in a gold tie clip, opal rings and a colorful handkerchief, intends to bring more than a change in style to the chairmanship. Experts in tax policy predict that if the Democrats win, Mr. Rangel will radically change the way the federal government levies America’s wealth.
