Comments on: Daschle Due For Hot Seat Over Back Taxes

CBS Evening News: Health Secretary Nominee To Face Questions From Finance Committee About Delinquent Taxes

[longtree-2009]

if geithner, a former lobbyist and tax evader, can be confirmed as secretary of the treasury why not daschle as health secretary? obama takes them all whether of questionable character, tainted by corruption, tax evasion. so far obama has excluded charles manson types, so that''s a good thing.

Question for the people ......which party of thieves,,,do you support?

The "power broker" needs to step down. Just because he did not register as a lobbyist does not mean he was not a "lobbyist" aka "power broker".

Posted by Fahren451 at 01:28 AM : Feb 02, 2009..... I would love to have a list of lobbyists addresses when the collapse comes,,,,,,,I bet people would like to know where to find all the greedy bastwads that filled their pockets while "We the people " were losing all. Now we face a situation that is going to get real messy.....May God bless the people of this country who will be brave enough to stand up and fight FOR AMERICA,,,against the evil forces that are robbing and destroying it. when the collapse comes ...there will no longer be Democrats or Republicans..... it will be the people against the government...period.

Dashle is not only unfit to ever serve in public office again, he should be thrown in jail for tax evasion.

Bottom Line - If not ONE senator has indicated that he/she will vote against Daschle because of his tax fraud, then the SENATE is wasting more of our tax dollars with this charade.

Doesn''''t matter which party you are tied to folks - You need to let our senators know that this charade is more than foolishness, it is downright sickening to see them attempt their pathetic efforts to appease the public when one of their own is caught redhanded with a ''''tax problem''''
They won''''t refuse his nomination but they want to pretend to be concerned by holding this mock ''''inquiry'''' so that we, the voters won''''t get upset.
That alone is an INSULT to the citizens of this country and I hope you will all take a few minutes to email your senators to let them know that we are fed up with this charade.

Agreed.

The "power broker" needs to step down. Just because he did not register as a lobbyist does not mean he was not a "lobbyist" aka "power broker".

1st, I''m a Democrat.
2nd, Daschle doesn''t deserve a seat of any kind.
It''s a monumental waste of time for any consideration of Mr. Daschle. He is not only a tax cheat, which also indicates he''s not opposed to lying, he and his wife have too many connections regarding lobbyists as well as lobbying. I do not believe he is capable of putting the best interests of the U.S. public first.

Pick someone else, Mr. President, someone who doesn''t appear to be a criminal.

Thanks.

What is your point?

Posted by IrishWench at 11:39 PM : Feb 01, 2009

His point is to confuse, distort and distract from the failures of the GOP.

[fahren451]

Every week, another dirty Democrat turns up.

And most of the time, he''''s A BABY BOOMER!

Was this too much Deregulation?

-----

Yet once he reaches the Reagan years, Critchlow presents as rosy a picture as possible. He either ignores the damaging effects of Reaganomics, such as astronomical deficits and deepening economic inequality, or treats them as illusions ginned up by Democratic partisans and the liberal media. Critchlow either overlooks the cronyism and looting of the 1980s--most spectacularly at the Pentagon, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development--or ascribes them to "mismanagement" that gave the career civil servants of the so-called liberal administrative state a pretext to thwart Reagan''s reforms. He describes the savings-and-loan crisis as an unintended consequence of Reagan''s deregulation, without mentioning how the administration repeatedly ignored warnings about the looming disaster and obstructed oversight--the costliest government malfeasance of its kind in history.

Whatever. Hey if the nomimation fails, there are plenty who are capable to take his place.

No sweat.
