Tony Cartmill Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Could this country keep a shred of Gub-ment integrity and at least STOP this loser from joining Godfather Obama's cabinet? http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/01/more-daschle-ta.html Sheesh!

Shelley Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I think its time to look for a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trindy Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 George W. Bush ruined all integrity the Gub-ment might have had left...and you're complaining about Obama's cabinet picks?I give up. EC.com is like Upside-Down World when it comes to politics.

Tony Cartmill Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 True...sort of. But if any Bush picks would have been caught CHEATING ON THEIR TAXES, the Dems, the media, and haters like you would have been crying and crying and crying till something was done! And at least the Republicans would have had the decency to withdraw the TAX CHEATS from consideration, once the scandal came out.The Dems, for some reason, think they are above the tax law...

angelina Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I lived in the UK in the early 80's....and I'm a medical provider here in the US now. I am VERY concerned about Daschle and his nationalized healthcare motives. Even without nationalized healthcare...we turn 90% of prospective patients away.....and it rips a piece of my heart out each and every day. We just don't deal with most people's insurance.So the rich will be treated by us....but everyone else will have to get lesser care....and wait and wait and wait in line.There's already a two-tier system in the US...it will get worse.Daschle scares me BIG TIME!John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Plus, he's a Harry Reid-style wimp. Everyone's a victim and everybody needs a Gub-ment plan to make their lives better...Don't concern yourselves about the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Upside down according to whom? You seem to think that everything political begins and ends with your opinions ...wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 The "funny" thing is that when it was the "treasury secretary" position... well, it's such an important position and he's so immenintly qualified, we can't let a little thing like "taxes" derail him... now the benchmark is... we let a treasury secretary in with a bad history on taxes, how can we point fingers at someone else...Show your hands if you didn't see this one coming... :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Carmen Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 You know what, Tony? If this is what turns up when one these guys gets a cabinet nomination, maybe we ought to audit EVERY LAST ONE OF THESE SENATORS AND CONGRESSMAN, GOING BACK AT LEAST THREE TO FIVE YEARS!I'll bet there are enough enough unpaid taxes to fund some of the government programs they want US to pay for.Between Clinton making a hundred million dollars lobbying for foreign governments, Cheney getting rich off "no-bid"contracts awarded to Haliburton, Bush Sr. sitting on the board of directors of the Carlyle Group, with funding from the Bin Laden family, during 911, odd, unexplained plane crashes and deaths surrounding big players in both parties, no WMD's, the financial meltdown, the bailouts, and the revelations coming out about the tax "mistakes" made by Geithner and Daschle, I'm beginning to think we need a "Citizens Oversight Committee" to watch over ALL of our elected officials.Integrity? Credibility? Accountability?Nah, That's for suckers.It really is just unbelievable! I saw more clips of rioting in the streets of (get this!) SWITZERLAND today, to add to the recent rioting in Iceland, Lithuania and Greece. http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE50U1F320090201 Preview of coming attractions?

hollies65 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'll bet half of the elected officials owe taxes. What I want to know is ...how do they get away with it? We don't...I speak from experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Also...Bush's problems should have had Obama's team make sure they were not going to load the cabinet with a bunch of tax cheats. Two wrongs make a huge mess, and equal no trust for the new administration. The sad thing is Obama says he knew about this stuff. Mindboggling!

Eric Carmen Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Maybe these guys had the fewest problems. Maybe the rest of 'em are even worse! It wouldn't surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna R Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Me neither.If that is truly the case- it is very sad.What a mess we are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 A mess of colossal proportions indeed. Printing more money devalues our dollar and the proposed trillion-plus dollar spending will devalue the dollar as never before. Even people who *have* money will be in trouble because it will have lost much of its value. http://www.foxnews.com/video/index.html?...listId=playlist This is frightening.And as we borrow the trillions from China to pay for it all, they'll own more of us.
