Per today’s presser, now Daschle is uniquely qualified and key to our medical system’s future…

See, when the Republican’s fell for the ‘Geithner is the only only one who can save our financial system’ lie - we gave the Obamanics the key to getting candidates confirmed. Argue that everyone is uniquely qualified.

This is another reason to hold the line on Daschle and throw him under the bus. Holder can join him there next week.

I have to say that all these tax cheats getting government appointments makes me sick. I don’t agree with Obama on much but at least I would respect him if he cut ties with these tax cheats. What’s worse is that the MSM just stands by and explains to us plebes that this was an honest mistake and that these people are beyond repute and the nation wouldn’t be able to operate without them. Who buys this #@$@#??? I would have never thought that I could lose so much faith in our government…I have lost all respect for this corrupt entity. The founding fathers would be sick to see that such ill reputes are being held up as the saviors of this nation. HOW CAN THIS BE???

On a side note, I took some time off from reading this site since the election…it is good to be back.

…to suggest that Obama needs to nominate all of Google’s board of directors to senior-level administration positions.

Figure that might put a sizable dent in our budget deficit right there, no?

He is another tax cheat, so he would qualify for a cabinet position. Let’s say he’d be the Culture Czar.

says to me last night: “Has Obama nominated ANYONE who’s not a crook?”

They are not very patriotic

McConnell should propose a new Senate rule: You can’t vote to raise someone else’s taxes until your own are paid in full.

the last five years of taxes of every member of congress and the senate to be audited in order to restore some credibility back to politics. Additionally, a five year audit should be done for every political appointee and/or governement staffer or official. If a person has more than X number of dollars of unpaid taxes…that person should be automatically disqualified and prosecuted.

Izoneguy that’s great, I’m glad you remembered that Biden Bull…
He’s also the cheapskate scumbag who has only given maybe $1000.00 to charity in the last 10 years. “What a sick disgusting hypocrite he is. But then again 90% of Democrats in office are nothing but, filthy, lying, cheating, thieving, anti American scumbags, who could care less about this country or any of us. They are there to see what they can suck out of the taxpayers. They should all be out of office and in prison…

Let’s not forget Charlie Rangle either. He didn’t pay taxes on his rental property but then he writes tax law. And William Jefferson who had $90,000 in his freezer. I’m sure he was not planning on reporting that income so he could pay taxes on that…

The people who keep voting this crap into office are insane or dumb or just so selfish themselves. I wonder what they plan on doing and who they think is going to take care of them after they have destroyed the good old USA.

How do we expect our kids to act when we time after time put into high office people who break the laws, especially TAX evasion, when they expect us to pay more than 50% of all we make in taxes of every sort???

Think of what the media would do if these were Republicans. We need to do something about the media abusing their privilege by lying and being nothing more than FREE ADVERTISING for Democrats…

CALL YOUR REP’s and scream at them everyday…

What a refreshing change Obama brings to government. Nominating and standing by tax cheats for prime government jobs is change I can believe in.

I only hope more of his nominees are found to be tax cheats. This slow-bleed of corruption tells me all I need to know about Obama’s ethics.

Daschle especially appears to be a pay-for-play, quid pro quo arrangement as evidenced by the fact that Obama insists he is also uniquely qualified (see also Geithner) for this position with relatively little in his record to recommend him. It obviously has nothing to do with Daschle’s early and prolonged support of Mr. Hope/Change.
