Do you think Daschle is just corrupt and is only coming forward with his tax issues because he wants the job?

Corrupt is corrupt… Obama & Democrats are not above this. And, anyone who calls me a “racist neocon” because i don’t agree with what Obama is selling is just plain idiotic. Where did freedom of speech go too?
cantcu… get a clue. I have NO idea why you started talking about Republicans here. Write your own question if you want but Daschle is a Democrat. Throw stones… you seem to think you are the only one that is allowed to throw’em!! Doesn’t say much about your character.

    Of course he’s guilty as are the others along with their illegal housekeepers but there’s something in the democratic thinking that if you just say it’s a mistake then it’s OK. Not if you are republican tho!

  2. bash Says:

    What tax issues? Millions of people make errors on their taxes each year. Daschle did too. Unlike many, Daschle realized his error on his own. He personally contacted the IRS more than 2 years ago and paid the right amount for his back taxes. This is a nonissue.

    That is a pretty good summation of it.. He is worse than Geithner..

    In my opinion, all politicians are corrupt to a degree. It comes with the territory…and the company they keep. Other politicians and lobbyists.

    Oh please!

    Lets do a Tax audit on all the Republicans and see what we find! Almost ALL of McCain’s campaign staff WERE lobbyist!

    One thing they teach you when you go to law school is to never ask a question you don’t know the answer to. I would hope you would take that as a piece of advice before throwing stones for you never know where they are going to land!!

    The whole administration, it seems, is corrupt. They don’t care about raising taxes because they have never paid any. This government no longer represents the people.

    i’m really getting a kick out of having the libs being in power. it’s like a circus freak show. i love it.

  8. tigersaregods Says:

    No he is not corrupt, he made a mistake and has now paid all of taxes he owed. President Obama wants him because he is the best man for the job.

  9. IceT Says:

    Yes look at the corruption in the Democrat party and the Obama administration already.

    Bill Richardson had to bow out because of an investigation that is being done on him.

    Chris Dodd is being investigated and was told to produce his mortgage documents 6 months ago. What is he hiding? I can produce the mortgage documents on the last 3 houses I owned in under 10 minutes!

    Giethner is a tax cheat and dodger and yet he is now in charge of the IRS! He receive quarterly checks from the IMF to pay his taxes and each time he got a check he had to sign a form that said he would use the money to pay his taxes and he still didn’t pay his taxes. This is unexcusable!

    Charlie Rangel also “forgot” or “didn’t know” that he had to pay taxes. The thing that is so funny about this is that he is the chairman of the committee that writes tax laws and rules!

    Tom Daschle also “forgot” to pay his taxes but he is deeply sorry!

    Does anyone actually believe that if any of the above was a Republican they would be considered for a cabinet position or even still in office?

    The saga continues,we are now witnessing an awesome display of hypocrisy and elitism.

  11. x x Says:

    YOU WOULD BE IN JAIL! NO BAIL! Any question how Obama is corrupt?
    Daschle withdrew this morning. He must have something else he does not want out in the open!

    Bash: Get a clue!

  12. Observer Says:

    I agree, and you can bet dollars to donuts that if it wasn’t for the job no one would ever hear about it . He was voted out of office and dumped once, why is he even being considered for anything in office at all ? (public office)The guy should probably be sitting in a cross-bar hotel right now, I’m sorry I forgot he’s a liberal democrat and we all know they can do no wrong, just over look or make simple mistakes LOL.

  13. zzone Says:

    If they are not corrupt, they do not work in Obama’s cabinet. A bunch of thieves and racketeers is all they are. Rich because they cheat the government and the American people to fill their bank accounts, the most corrupt cabinet since the Clinton Administration….. oh!!! that’s right…it is mostly old Clinton cronies.

  14. col_of_truth Says:

    He was a leader in the Congress for a long time, he had to know the rules because many of his underlings wrote them.

    He didn’t care because no one was paying any attention to him.

    His wife was a Lobbyist for years while he was IN Congress and she has all kinds of rules to comply with.

    This was not overlooked in my opinion, it was ignored and then excused when he got caught.

    Watch how the Democrats support him while they put Tom Delay on public trial without any evidence, and forced him out of Congress. Hip-O-Crites

    When they enact the “Fairness Doctrine” to silence Talk Radio, I want all Conservatives to get their viewpoints on the air. Challenge any leftist political broadcast until they abandon it in frustration. Your resources should include the Conservative Blogs and Newspapers.

    Daschle is a corrupt little twit. The people of South Dakota figured that out and voted him out of office. Daschle himself, seems to believe that his BA in Poly Sci, qualifies him to be and do everything and I guess he has snowed the Messiah in the White House, too.

  16. Jeffrey N Says:

    Yes disgraced Daschle will do what it takes to get a job after he lost his senate seat

  17. smdiablito Says:

    The funniest thing is the $88,333 monthly paycheck he “forgot” to report. His compensation was $1,000,000 annually. A nice round number. You’d think a lightbulb would’ve gone off when it was listed as only $911,667.
