And in the same way may his colleagues treat this justly. But politics is from being like this but we can always hope for the best. As the issue affects the congress more than the important matters, Rangel steeping down is the best thing to do... for the love of the country.

Remember that politics will always be on top of all issues and these people are just waiting for the right time to do the kill. And for the poor Rangel, it is as if the kill is coming sooner than expected. But still, it is but noble to have the courage to face this head on, starting off with him stepping down. Definitely yes!

Not only that but also seem to keep criminal prosecution for other indiscretions he has. The general theme from Mr. Rangel is and has been that it's not his fault. he did not know it was in violation of house rules. He feel's that his staffer should have told him how was he to know. If this type of excuse is to be accepted by the voters of New York it means they accept a STUPID Representative, or some who thinks they are STUPID. How was he to know???? He is a Congressional Representative he should know all the rules not only those that suite his purpose. For the media not to vilify him for his statement "It was my staffers fault for not telling me" shows bias or is they are afraid of being called the "R" word. Let the voters decide next election if they still wish to be represented by a STUPID person who doesn’t seem to know the tax laws (despite he chaired the committee that wrights them) or the RULES of the House of Representatives (although he has been there long enough). Or better maybe the Democratic Party of NY will decide not to support him in a reelection bid. They don't seem to have a problem thronging officials under the bus.
