Rangel and Boehner, two peas in a pod.

The title of this post may seem weird. How can a liberal Democrat from Harlem in New York City be compared to a Republican Conservative from rural Ohio? I will tell you, because when push comes to shove, neither cares as much for America as he does for his own personal political gain. John Boehner is so obsessed with becoming Speaker, that he will do anything and say anything regardless of its truth or impact. Just the other day he called the President partisan and unwilling to work with Republicans. The republicans have no ideas other than to say no, blame everything on taxes and to repeal everything....all job killing ideas at a time of much needed job creation. Lying, deceit and obstructionism seems to be the path the R's are using to try and reclaim power in the House and Boehner is fine with that strategy. He is just another bad, selfish, power hungry, incompetent member of Congress. Charles Rangel is so obsessed with his name, and his legacy that he will deny any wrongdoing, blame aides and others for his own failures and refuse to be contrite, apologetic and remorseful about his abhorrent behavior. All in the name of power and influence not in the name of America. At a time when Democrats need this story to go away quickly to campaign on issues, Rangel makes it all about him. Delay, have a trial go on near to the election, remind Americans about ethical lapses from a Democrat, these will be Rangel's legacy. The irony is that these two men are both awful. They preach that they love America and yet do everything they can to disprove that. Two peas in a pod. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
