Mr Rangel-just retire, politics is not a career-or rather shouldn’t be

Is Rep Charles Rangel unethical, did he stretch the limits on his dealings? The answer is probably he did along with scores of other politicians. The fact his legal bills are being paid by union PACs and other lobbying organizations should tell you something. But no matter Democrats are not worried, their constituents don’t seem concerned. The past history of voters seems to say they rarely care.

Ethics aside, Mr Rangel is 80 years old and it’s time to go. He has been in Congress since 1970. No human being let alone a politician can play the Washington game without coming under the influence of just about everyone wanting something.

After forty years doing this you are not an elected official, you are a government employee.   This is just another case illustrating the need for term limits.
