my own discomfort with the influence of the “religious right” on the current incarnation of the Republican party, and what I feel the role of government should be.

So how comforting are the KOSholes and the DUmbasses?

Guess it's probably a mix of a few things. Familial tradition, my own discomfort with the influence of the "religious right" on the current incarnation of the Republican party, and what I feel the role of government should be. I rarely if ever vote the party line though. I try to keep an open mind while still identifying myself as a Dem. You know, Peter, I ask myself that question frequently enough.

The scumbag is a tax cheat and he wouldn't have paid unless he was being considered for the HHS job. There was TimmieTheTaxCheat... then Rangle... then Daschle... gosh, it's getting old. And let's not forget all the Dems who took sweetheart mortgage deals while writing regulation of the housing broker industry. But is it getting to be a theme? Could the Culture of Corruption be back in Washington? How many times will Dem defenders use the “but he’s an honorable man” line????

Daschle will get approved unless more Democrat Senators take exception and that's what Steele should be harping on... the Culture of Corruption is a label to be affixed to the Democrats/Obama and if the GOP were in control of the Senate, this nomination would be D.O.A End of message.

So, if we do NOT play nice with the Democrats, what DO WE HAVE TO LOSE? Also, boys and girls, why are the Democrats so interested in giving us advice? They keep telling us that unless we "go along to get along" that we will be wiped from the face of the planet. So, does that mean that they will not run candidates against us if we play nice with them? Boys and girls, the Democrats play jackal and hyena better than we do. But we have done pretty well in the past by standing on principle. We just got our clocks cleaned by trying the McCainsian application of cooperative principle. Boys and girls, yes we can stand up to Daschle. Not only can we, but we MUST. Tom Daschle is turd in the punchbowl of principle. Worse than that, he is launching fireworks and flying a banner which proclaims himself as the biggest punchbowl of principle turd in human memory. When Daschle led his party, do we believe that he wasn't fully up to speed on ethics and how to keep his people out of trouble? Do we believe that he was unaware of basic no no's in the tax code? De we believe that if he were so naive as a major government player that such naivety will serve him well running a huge government department? Boys and girls, sometimes you have to take the bull by the tail and face the situation. (You may thank W.C. Fields for that one.) Dear Boys and Girls of the Republican Party,

Could the media please ask the Democrat appointees and nominees which ones actually have PAID their taxes. It willsave us a lot of time here. And can we have another love fest about how flawless the Obama transition and vetting process went. What a fricking joke. The gang that couldn't shoot straight. Boobs bunglers and thieves. And they haven't gotten around to calling Mr Chairman Rangle on his tax "mistakes". Or is it only the white females and males that have to come clean? hehehhe (man am I lovin this hehe) I was prepared to come together and give this President a chance. We all agreed the country needed a honeymoon of sorts. I was looking forward to his bi partisian promises. Then he stuck the Republicans in the eye in the House. Guess the change montra was a lie.

Rather, they go along to get along. The GOP Senators have teeny little spines. Good for Michael Steele for setting the tone for the party. McConnell is a terrible Minority Leader and should be replaced soon, but it won't happen. I live in Florida and our Republican Senator (who mercifully won't be running for reelection) is a virtual no show and an embarrassment to the party. The Senators will make speeches about how it's important to pay taxes, blah blah blah,and then role over and let Obama rub their bellies. A pox on all their houses. Senators have little backbone.
