10. i know . . . SHEESH

[Donnachaidh]

4. sure - when Ensign resigns. They can go hand in hand. n/t

[MajorChode]

13. I'm still waiting for McCain to resign

McCain helped his buddy Keating steal billions from people (some of which who could ill afford it) while he personally profited to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, none of which he has ever repaid.

[McCamy Taylor]

6. No, and it pains me to see the way the current administration will kick anyone under the bus.

[Old and In the Way]

8. Sure...but a better question to ask.

Why is it only Democrats seem to hold their Party Reps accountable? Why don't I see Republican voters and their Reps police their own? I don't recall the Republican grassroots (or astroturf) get too worked up over the crimes of Delay, Ney, Doolittle, Ensign, and dozens of others who are on par (or worse) with Charlie's financial doings. Here's the thing - I'm neither surprised or shocked when Congresspeople profit from their position. But if they're looking out for my interests via the public policies they support and fight for, I'm a whole lot less angry than when these people are corrupt and obstructing a progressive agenda that benefits everyone.

12. Because ethics is a foreign concept to most republicans.

[Oregone]

9. Its the sensible solution

[name not needed]

11. Yes. Just because he's on our side doesn't mean he shouldn't be held accountable for his actions.

[IndianaGreen]

14. He is entitled to defend himself, no?

[Joe Fields]

15. He already copped to numerous ethics violations to the committee,

and that is enough for me. The ethics committee wanted to press further and Rangel said he wasn't going to cop to all of the charges. Yes, definitely he should resign, but unfortunately he won't.

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. Certainly not before he's convicted of any wrong doing
