Charles Rangel is a Jack Ass

The Donkey that represents the Democratic party is the perfect mascot for Charlie Rangel because he is such an ASS.

Back in 2003 Rangel decided to "make a statement" by wasting time and therefore money on introducing a bill to reinstate the draft, that even his own party voted down.

"Those who love this country have a patriotic obligation to defend this country," Rangel said. "For those who say the poor fight better, I say give the rich a chance."

After THAT line of Bull was debunked, His claim NOW is that if members of congress has children that would be drafted, they would not approve any war. This man would prefer we just let those crazy extremists continue to kill our people on our soil that actually have the balls to stand up for ourselves and fight back.

Then again, Rangel proposed the draft in 2004, which was voted down 402-2.

Trying to quiet fears of a return of the draft, the House Republican leadership engaged in a hasty call-up of its own on Tuesday. The Republicans brought to the floor a Democratic-sponsored proposal to reinstate mandatory military service and presided over its overwhelming defeat on a vote of 402 to 2.

This jackass, Rangel, seems to think that the floor is a place to make statements instead of handling the business of the country.

This is going to be the chair of the ways and means committee... what a joke.
