Daschle Out

[guido911]

Well, well, what a sujrprise. Another Obama nominee has tax issues:

How many is that now? Geithner, Daschle, Solis, Killefer, Ron Kirk...Sebelius.

According to Biden, Obama has nominated at least five (and counting) unpatriotic folks for high level jobs in his administration. Most ethical administration evah!

Big deal...they're all more qualified individually than Bush and Cheney collectively.

The latest amount pales compared to the bigger issues at hand.

Some people actually withhold and fight the IRS when they know what they did was within the rules.

Guido, have you ever won a confrontation with the IRS?
Have you ever asked them for a ruling prior to a tax issue?
Ever wonder if the Busheviks still in the IRS are leaking this minutia?

Come on, find something juicy to get mad about.
The Devil awaits the fear....

Successful crooks usually are fairly intelligent.  How else do you think they got successful?

I cannot believe aox would want to engage me or even show up on this forum again today after I smashed his bullcrap McKinney analysis in another thread.

I miss McKinney so much.  Perhaps she'll run again in 2010.  I'll see if she has a website and go ahead and donate some money.

Come on now, let's go easy on the esteemed Gov. from Kansas.  We all have trouble keeping reciepts for our charitable donations.  It's hard keeping track of that stuff.

The cacaphony would have never, ever died down if this were a GOP admin.  At least the GOP philosophy on tax avoidance is via legislation, not bad copies of Turbo Tax.

Cheney "put people back" in government to "stay behind" in order to "tell him what's going on" and perhaps even "do sabotage":  http://thepoliticalcarnival.blogspot.com/2009/03/audio-seymour-hersh-cheney-left-stay.html

Cheney is a pig.

His reach extends in all areas of our current government.

His piggies are trying to undermine the voters of America.

I hope they hang him high in Spain.....



You support this heretic and you too are unAmerican.

So, your choice for President sucked and instead of being honest, you keep lampooning a former Vice President who has been out of office over two months as still having some sort of dark hand in government??? 

The Cheney pics are already old, the posts even older.  Get a life beyond Daily Kos.

The recent disclosures from Sy Hersh are far from old.

Read up Wingnuttian. You should like disturbing information on how viruses destroy.

You must be unAmerican to show such disregard for our country.

I use TurboTax, and I have this little folder for tax deductible receipts.  I know it's a complicated system, but it seems to work for me. 

If she only owed $7,000 in back taxes, I don't see why that would be an issue in here nomination.  Pay and move on.  It's not like she's a Giethner, or a Dashiell.

I think there is something more to this story to take her out of the running, and the 7k tax mistake is the smoke and mirrors.  Saves here from losing much more than the nomination.
