   Is there any thief more pathetic than a petty thief?

   I don’t know about pathetic, but I do know about worse. A cabal of thieves who have the power to make the rules for all of their victims, thereby insuring unchecked future thievery.

   A gang of thieves and gangsters is what our government appears to consist of.

   No problem, wait until you’re offered a cabinet position and then suddenly remember that honest mistake you made back in 2009. Get with the program.

   If there’s an “R” in your profile or “conservative” in your self-description, you know damn well what you will need to do. However, if it’s “D” or “liberal” –– enjoy!

    1. Find a Democrat – any Democrat will do.

    2. “Vett” the Democrat.

    3. Discover amount of delinquent tax.

    4. Make Democrat pay taxes!

    Rinse and repeat until debt is washed away! Simple!

    Back in the late 1980s or early 1990s, the NY Times did an expose about how Tom Daschle used his political clout to keep a slipshod airline flying and not lose its license. Just coincidentally, Linda Daschle happened to lead the FAA. Three doctors were killed flying on that airline that in all fairness, should have been grounded. The NY Times expose is available for all the world to see in the Times archives and even on microfilm. No MSM reporters have bothered to check it out. Can anyone imagine if a Bush appointee had this cloud on his resume? CNN would have burned him at the stake by now.

    If the people that know Daschle best don’t want him, what makes BO think the rest of America wants this creepy tax dodger?

    I hope the people of ND are paying attention. Their two Senators are carbon copies of Daschle – but still in office.

    Dorgan & Conrad are liberal democrats bringing pork back to the State to their elite group of supporters. They are both married to lobbyists; their “residences” in ND are in the same 50′s style apt building in Bismarck –owned by Conrad with a sweetheart mortgage from Countrywide–that have their names on the mailbox, there is no evidence they ever stay in the apartments.

    When Tom Daschle went down in defeat for the Senate, I was so happy! I had a spring in my step and a whistle on my lips for days. It was good riddance to a very creepy liberal. But now he might be back in the White House. This is so disturbing. But I am not surprised. After all, they elected a crook for President, so why wouldn’t he have crooks in his administration? He knows he can get away with just about anything, considering he got away with all those other “minor” things when he was campaigning. If ALL of his associates his entire adult life were crooks and worse, how can anyone expect anthing different now? Totally predictable, yet people in the MSM are acting surprised every time it happens. Get used to it. We have four more years of corruption ahead and it WILL get worse!

    The founding fathers were wise indeed. Unfortunately, our Chosen Ones and their associates in Washington have developed a brother- and sister-hood of corruption, the members of which are immune from punishment for any egregious, unethical and even criminal behavior. They can break the law and violate the constitution with impunity and with full knowledge that dumbed down Americans will re-elect them anyway. Different rules apply to the Chosen Ones. Apparently the Chosen Ones have nothing but disdain for us. Yesterday, an MSNBC poll of nearly 40,000 American citizens voted at nearly 84 percent to send Daschle packing. But, Obama stands by his man. I predict that within the next year, Obama will declare that the U. S. Constitution is a quaint, antique document that has outlived its usefulness and begin exploring ways to set it aside permanently. Perhaps a display case is already being designed for the original copies of it to be displayed in the Smithsonian right next to the extinct dinosaurs.

    The 60-page questionnaire is written in invisible ink due to national security concerns.

    Who wants to bet the lesson Obambi learns from this cabinet fiasco is to classify everything, including the used toilet paper, as top secrect!

    Where’s that 60-page questionnaire BHO talked about that people had to fill out before they could be appointed to his cabinet? Maybe there were no questions about ethics or unpaid taxes. . .

    Wow, I sure hope Daschle’s limo driver wasn’t in a bathroom or anything……. gee!

    Daschle will recover just fine…. 83 grand a pop for “counseling”…. as long as he pays some sort of tax…. of course democrats just make innocent mistakes. I still haven’t seen the outrage over barney franks that was over Foley.

    Man, when Bill Clinton got elected (ugh twice!), I thought his administration was the most corrupt ever. HA! I was sooo wrong. Welcome to the Obama administration with all its attendant criminals. I guess this is the Dems idea of the best and the brightest. Makes me sick.

    Darn, he buckled and resigned. We needed to have him and Geithner in their offices to remind the dingy donks what kind of folks they vote for! No wonder they have no problem with raising taxes, they don’t pay ‘em!

    They should stop using the same people to vet Obama’s administration who vetted Obama himself.

    I am scratching my head over this one. There is no such thing as “good policy maker” who makes and implements socialist policies.

    I didn’t say that he was a good policy maker. A previous poster suggested that he should be disqualified because he lost an election for congress. I disagreed with that argument.

    I don’t consider myself a troll, but I don’t think failure to pay taxes should necessarily discredit one from being secretary of health. I don’t think the two are directly related. It should be considered in his nomination, but should not disqualify him without some other cause. I could be mistaken, but I would think most people here would agree to that being the general standard – it’s one consideration among many factors.

    This leads me to believe that something else is lurking behind these criticism: disagreement with his policies. If he was advocating a free market approach to health care, would people really be as upset?

    Also, I’m willing to bet that almost every poster here has made tax mistakes (many of which they probably do not even know about). I don’t think that reflects poorly on their character. (I know, I know, you’re going to argue that these “mistakes” were intentional. If that’s the case, please read above)

    Part of the issue here is the Obama administration’s Culture of Corruption. Rotten from the head down. Whose name is on the deed of the “Obama” residence in Chicago? Where is that Original birth certificate (not the COLB forgery) showing where Obama was born?

    Yes. I suppose my argument isn’t quite as strong when conspiracy theories are involved.

    Oh, bluesoc #85. I have been working for almost 45 years and HAVE NEVER failed to pay due taxes. I have been audited and have NEVER had to pay a fine. Even with a small business, I did not pay myself because I had taxes to pay. This is a matter of ethical behavior. Stop being a pitchman for liberals who think they are above the law. There are too many examples of liberals who think the law is for the “little people”. See Clinton’s record of 8 years. You will never convince me that this was an “oversight” and therefore his conduct is permissible. Please, give me a major break here!

    Oh, by the way, Bluesoc#85. Let’s get real….If this had been a Republican, he would have been crucified in the press, especially if the new President was Republican as well. Do some homework and go back and see Andrea Mitchell’s comments that the GOP “brought Daschle down”. If I knew how to link there I would do that, but her comments are on Newbusters.com page this morning. Spare me, bluesoc.
