Another Obama Nominee Has Tax Issues

Personally, I'm just glad you found a new obsession to replace global warming...

I'm glad youi're shown to be the partisan idiot you truly are.

Meanwhile, you alarmist idiots cling the warming theory... LOL

Yeah, I'm so partisan. That's why I have started threads calling for the ouster of Reid & Pelosi. That why I won't respond to Desh anymore because of her views on taxing higher income brackets. That's why I continually call for the Dems to make fiscal responsibilty a part of their platform, and have criticized Dems like Byrd, Murtha, Frank, et al.

Like I said, this kind of stuff does not bother me. It just doesn't. It didn't bother me w/ Bush, either. When good nominees are removed from consideration because of something like this, which does NOT affect the job they are nominated for, it means they move on to choices #2 & 3 and so on. It is likely that those people are less qualified for the actual job, because they are not at the top of the list.

1) Nominees do the "oops, I'll fix it now" because the issues only come to light upon scrutiny of their previous three years of tax returns that the Senate Finance Committee requires the nominees to submit to the committee.

2) I'm not pretending anything. You want to pretend that this is some huge deal that will prevent Sebelius from being confirmed; that it is a "mistake." It isn't and the Obama team knows it isn't. That's why they pressed on anyway. If they thought it was a deal breaker the nomination would have been withdraw prior to Sebelius submitting her tax records to the Finance Committee.

I'd also add that saying she is incompetent because she made a mistake in filling out her tax return without making any assessment of her 25 years of public service is just plain stupid.

1. I know, hence they see a sudden need to fix what they otherwise never would fix.

2. I'm not pretending that it will stop her, I am stating that I believe it should and that it shows a level of incompetence that you would be up in arms about had it been Bush nominating person after person after person who has tax issues.

And I will add that I don't think it was a "mistake" until she was offered the nomination.
