Republicans have another golden opportunity with Daschle.
UPDATE: Tom Daschle bowed out, a lot of pressure has been generated and he has saved himself from the confirmation hearings. 2/3/2009
The GOP has been very hot or cold recently and it seems they are being handed opportunities to finally asset themselves as being different from the big government nanny-state liberals that are currently running the show.
- They dropped the ball with Geithner who should have been rejected.
- They unified and stood up against the 819 billion all-you-can-eat pork buffet. (Great whip job Eric Cantor!)
- Even though this is the RNC, but Michael Steele was a demonstration of something new and fresh.
Now, they need to flat out reject Daschle the tax cheat. This particular incident is even more egregious than Geithner and a formal apology is not going to cut it, nor should it. GOP needs to show America that they are not only the party of small government, fiscal responsibility, but also of ethics! Please demonstrate to the people that those elected to higher office are public servants and compromising the public trust should be the number one offense. Instead politicians use their immense clout to get away with crimes that normal citizens would be paying hefty prices for. Imagine for a second, if you somehow forgot to pay 146,000 to the IRS!? Your ass would be grass and the IRS would be smoking it. They will lien on your house so hard the mice will scatter.
There needs to be continued pressure from those that still have an ounce of faith that we can restore the correct path in this nation and this pressure should be put forth on all Senators involved in admitting tax cheats and criminals. A previous post of mine highlighted the 10 or so Republicans that allowed Geithner to waltz in as Secretary of Treasury and these very same people better be getting some serious hate mail. These are the same folks that should be pressured to filibuster this stimulass package.
But, it is all not all doom and gloom. One major advantage of having a liberal president is the welcomed side effect is filling the coffers with outstanding tax payments :) He should appoint more people, we might get out of this financial crisis sooner than we think.
