Only the democrats would pick a tax cheat to head the Congressional committee that writes tax laws.
Dems put tax cheat in charge of writing tax laws for America
Pelosi and the dems picked this guy and then when the facts come out about his tax scams they do nothing about the sleaze.

Rangel is a true patriot just like Biden-----but then, "patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels."

Yeah. The irony is pretty huge isn't it. It wouldn't be so bad if these guys would legislate from their own experience and make the laws easier to follow and more concise. They won't though. They're just gonna make even more of a screwed up mess that nobody can figure out.

What Rangel did with his taxes is not so bad; no big deal and is what should be expected. He was just seeking a leg up, an edge, a small advantage.
He's not the brightest guy but he is what he is: a cunning politician.

It's all just one big party. There is no really big differences between the two parties.
I'd like to hear Plantagenet describe what the Republicans would accomplish in the next 8 years if the Democrats were to simply vanish completely as a party so that only Republicans existed.

No problemo.
I like the Republican's energy agenda better then Obama's plan. I think the US needs more energy development to deal with the coming effects of Peak Oil, and the republicans want to pursue development of every kind of energy available--- and thats exactly what I'd like to see done.
Some of the specifics I'd like to see:
1. I would expect the Republicans to pass Roscoe Barnett's (R-Md) bill and follow Palin's plan to open ANWR
2. They'd pass Dana Rohrbacher's (R-Ca) bill to suspend the EIS process for new solar power plants.
3. They'd pursue McCain's plan to build nuclear power plants
4. They'd pursue McCain's plan to open the OCS to drilling
5. They'd pursue other energy options (wind, solar, hydrogen, geothermal, advanced biofuels).
6. They'd phase out the damaging ethanol subsidies that are driving food prices higher (McCain has opposed them for years).

Whatever the candidates blather on about with regard to energy development, will have very little to do with what actually happens.
Their positions are virtually identical. And the differences in them probably have more to do with leaving just enough difference so that some debate is left for the campaigning. The miniscule differences in what they are carrying on about now, will have very little to do with the actual courses of action that will be taken during the next presidency.
America is going to be in a real financial crunch come 2009 due to the mess that has occurred. The country's wherewithal to throw the kitchen sink at the energy problem will be limited. The country will have to prioritize energy development according to Bang/Buck considerations. There won't be room for politics.
The financial mess we are in has been due to deregulation of financial markets. Are you old enough to remember the political mantra of "deregulation"? It began in the Reagan years. It has been largely a Republican credited idea that has been condoned by the Democrats. It was an initiative that was all part of the rabid adherence to free market principles where government allows the market to police itself. John McCain has been a vocal proponent of deregulation. It has been a very popular position for Conservatives to shout about.
Those chickens have now come home to roost now. And everyone knows it. The ultimate effect of deregulation has been to socialize America and greatly expand the size of government. Aren't the Republicans proud?
It doesn't matter whether you swallow party lines about taxes or mind-boggling debt. These two parties are a monopolistic sham. To continually promote one over the other is continue the irresponsibility of what amounts to a shell game for a confused citizenry.
