Tom Daschle gives himself a hand after EVADING TAXES FOR 3 YEARS...

So here we have another Obama appointee; Tom Daschle. The question at this point is not, why is he doing this? The question is, does he actually think that people are going to be o.k. with this?

The sad truth is that most people don’t even know who Tom Daschle is. When people are informed about this guy, and the problems he has gotten himself into – their opinions often change.

Most of us have heard that he was recently in trouble for TAX EVASION. That is the correct way to put it. Not, he paid $128,203 and $11,964 in interest late. He was trying (successfully) to evade the tax system. Just check out a few of Daschle’s quotes…

Tom Daschle:

"As you can well imagine, I am deeply embarrassed and disappointed by the errors that required me to amend my tax returns."

I’ve never understood when someone says that they are disappointed by their own actions. It’s not like he wasn’t there for it!

Tom Daschle:

On issues relating to taxes, you don't always speak with one voice.

I’m not entirely sure what he was getting at here. Maybe you can help me… I don’t think that he’s talking about The Exorcist…

This statement from John Kerry says it all.

John Kerry on NBC's "Meet the Press.":

"It's obviously a mistake. But I think it's an innocent mistake. I don't think it affects one iota his ability to do the job,"

on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Nor does it affect a con man’s ability to do his job. Is that “really” what we are looking at here? Just remember Kerry thought it was o.k. to make up stories about his military service. That wouldn’t affect his ability to do his job either, right?

Let’s put this in perspective; think about it this way. Imagine that you had failed to pay your taxes. You “forgot” to pay $120,000 dollars worth of taxes. Do you really think that you would get off that easy? Do you really think that a small business owner would get off that easy? Notice he didn’t pay any penalties. He only paid the tax amount and the interest. No fines or penalties.

Pay attention to the news. You will find that most of the media is going to give Daschle credit for coming out with the tax information. That’s right he’s going to get credit for airing the situation! Just my guess. He will get credit for breaking the law, and coming clean about it.

Tell me what you think…
