Are the House Democrats throwing three of their own under the bus as a distraction from their increasingly corrupt and toxic policies? Charlie Rangel -- Maxine Waters -- Laura Richardson

Look at the (alleged) corruption over there and don’t look at the massive special interest corruption that is contained in the healthcare, funding and cap-in-trade bills …

Why shouldn’t each and every member of the democrat party who negotiated the healthcare initiative be investigated for massive quid-pro-quid deals made with representatives of the pharmaceutical industry, durable medical equipment industry, the insurance industry and some of the larger union and lobbying firms associated with for-profit organizations?

Is the House of Representatives trying to temporarily assuage public outrage over apparent egregious behavior by House members who have apparently attracted an inordinate amount of media attention?

According to published reports, the House ethics committee has voted to begin a full-scale investigation into  allegations of inappropriate behavior involving two Californians, Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Laura Richardson (D-CA)). It appears that they will join Charlie Rangel (D-NY) on the hot-seat.

All are members of the far-left wing of the democrat party and outspoken members of the Congressional Black Caucus. All three have been known to play the race card when explaining allegations against them.

This is a clear and present example of the danger facing our nation from corrupt democrats who openly promote a far-left socialist-style agenda. Unfortunately, the Ethics Committee is often the last refuge of scoundrels who should be facing criminal charges and being tried in a court of law.

Maxine Waters Committee on Financial Services Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity (Chairwoman) Subcommittee on International Monetary Policy and Trade	Committee on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security, and International Law
Laura Richardson  Committee on Homeland Security Subcommittee on Emerging Threats, Cybersecurity, and Science and Technology Subcommittee on Emergency Communications, Preparedness, and Response	Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Aviation Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Subcommittee on Highways and Transit Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials
Charlie Rangel   Committee on Ways and Means (Chairman) As Chair of the full committee, Rep. Rangel may serve as an ex officio member of all subcommittees. Joint Committee on Taxation (Vice Chair)

It is time to clean up the cesspool that is our current Congress. We need to throw all the bums out to send a clear message to politicians that we are taking back our country and turning away from the democrat socialist agenda.
