House Kills Resolution to Oust Rangel From Chair of Tax-Writing Committee

House Republicans on Wednesday tried to pass a resolution to oust Rangel from his chairmanship following the reading of a long and stinging list of alleged wrongdoing.  The measure stemmed from a major ethics probe into Rangel's alleged failure to pay his taxes and disclose income on multiple properties -- as much as $1.3 million.

But House Democrats were quick to strike down the measure to remove Rangel, who represents New York's Harlem district, from his post.  House Republicans refused to accept defeat of the resolution, and asked for a second recorded vote following the first.  The reading of the resolution was interrupted several times, and at one point was challenged by Democrats before being put to a vote.

"Let's look at this resolution for what it really is -- a highly partisan effort designed to undermine the important work in Congress on health care reform," the representative, who declined to be named, told FOX News.

"Instead of holding Chairman Rangel accountable for his actions, House Democrats are once again circling the wagons and demonstrating their loyalty to a leader who faces serious questions about his official conduct," House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio said in a statement.

Won't hit the nightly news, so it didn't happen.

It just never quits.

If this had been a Republican ..... he would have been driven out under a cloud of shame, without the Dems even knowing if it was true or not....

If only Fox News would call him a republican or conservative in every news item, then the DUmmies would be calling for his head by now. OTOH, any Republican would have tucked their tail and resigned by now. Ball less  :censored:holes.

I wouldn't expect much of a water level drop in that swamp, when the one promising the draining is the Queen alligator.
