    Default Rangel slams Mississippi

    With a losing team like this how can Republicans go wrong?

    To that end, he sketched out an expansive federal agenda: Teaming up with Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on gun control, passing new tax incentives for urban job programs, and redirecting federal money to New York in return for the outsize tax collections that the federal government makes here.

    “Mississippi gets more than their fair share back in federal money, but who the hell wants to live in Mississippi?” Mr. Rangel said.

    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

    So slime an entire state?

    This is a perfect example on how Dems will unite the nation.

    So by smearing an entire state is your plan to at least try to win them over? Then you libs play the race card when the OSuth goes red in elections

    Hillary in 10 days

    My vote is still none of the above in November

    So when you don't think you can win a state, you think it's somehow ok to simply slime them to no end? How childish.

    I think if Charlie Rangel wants to make an offhanded remark about Mississippi, it really doesn't bother me one way or the other. No more so than if some southern republican wants to make some comment about New England.

    I don't think that my attitude about that is childish....just more tolerant, perhaps, and one with a more mature perspective, i.e. are things such as this really of any great importance to the overarching political debate in which our country ought to be engaged?

    The more the Obama's open their mouth the deeper they sink. I am glad they are being honest and are openly showing their contempt for people they consider lower on the social scale then they are

    Well, I've been to New England (it's like old England but has that New England smell) and I've been to Mississippi. I'd consider living in Mississippi long before I'd consider living in New England, I don't care what Rangel says.

    didnt Rangel insult Mississippi before? it sounds almost exactly like the same quote we discussed almost a year ago.
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin
