So Caroline Kennedy dropped out of a Senate bid because of tax and nanny issues and we have the Treasury Secretary nominee Geithner not paying his taxes. It sure seems like though liberals like passing laws and new taxes, but on following laws or paying taxes not so much. Biden should question their patriotism.
I was pleasantly surprised at the news, but it was puzzling.
From the beginning, she obviously felt that she should be anointed because of her last name (though that was something over which she had no control). And, even if she had a few ethical lapses or bad decisions on her record, the moonstream media would have come to her defense with fawning support.
So I have to ask, what skeleton in her closet is so bad that it caused this abrupt decision???
[Anonymous caller] “Hey Caroline, you don’t know me, but I have video of you and David Duke during your weekend getaway in the Poconos…”
I say audit every member of the legislature and everyone appointed to federal office. They are keepers of the public trust, so they should be held accountable to the same laws as the little people, I mean citizens, are.
At least 80-90% would be found guilty of something and then we really could thrown the bums out. If the Obamarama Administration is so hell bent on transparency, let’s hold ’em to it.
So what color is the Obama Team? Let’s make it “clear.”
What did you think I was going to say?

Of course it comes as no surprise that Liberals are not required to follow the same rules as the common people. They are our benevolent dictators and are above the law. Peasants like you, not so.
“You little people must obey us and we’ll take care of you. Don’t expect us to stay within the same restrictions, as we’re smarter and can handle making our own decisions.”
Conservatives (and Libertarians) actually believe in the Golden Rule, i.e. allow others the same freedoms you would have for yourself and follow the same rules you would require of others.
That’s the fundamental difference between Left and Right: Do you actually follow a belief in equal rights, or do you hold yourself as superior to the common folk, and thus exempt? Are some held to a standard while others are not?
Socialists obviously fall into the latter category. They are either the ones who claim superiority and exemption, or they are those who believe that they are inferior and must be guided and protected.
Pardon for waxing philosophical.
Ahem. Pardon me.
If one is a good liberal then one is “in” and therefore the rules for the rest of us rubes don’t apply! Because one is a liberal, one has passed into “the club” thus making one automatically beyond reproach. Anything one does, says or is will forevermore be beyond reproach simply because what you are doing is noble and “for the children”! Now stop with the criticalness and let’s all just start giving Obama a BJ like the rest of humanity…BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
She dropped out because cuomo sent Luca Bratzy to her house to “make her an offer she don refuse”
The most recent bit is that supposedly she called to say she was having a news conference that she was going to stay in the running, only to use that conference to drop out. This hacked off the the govenor, who want to look strong and score points by dumping her. She apparently found this out ahead of time and stole his thunder. So he released all the “nanny/tax/marriage” bits, which are perfectly believable since A) she’s a democrat and B) she’s a Kennedy. At least that’s the latest in this fog of BS over the situation.
Funny bit – NY is working on a “fat tax” that would tax sugar in soft drinks/etc. PepsiCo is largely based there. Oops.
As for this tax situation, this “president of the people” has shown himself to be as tone deaf as Blaggo in terms of not listening to the outrage on the part of those who pay taxes. And that “with TurboTax (evil grin)” bit should have buried him in pimp-slaps. I’ve used it for years and it’s never said, “ya know, you owe $30,000, but if you just sit this out, you’ll be fine.” I’ve owed taxes before and it generally means you either had a massive life change or you just don’t have a clue how the intuitive decision can derail you when you fill out the forms (the right check marks at $50K you always used will bite you HARD if you try them at $90K or above). But again, that totally disqualifies him for Treasury. I expect the person running such a department in a crisis should not either be so corrupt as to try to sell us this line of poo or he should have better financial skills than I do with my BA in Business Administration and 20 years of life experience out of college. Otherwise I’m available if the want someone who knows how to use F-ing TurboTax.
Just now, the GOP had a press conference about a meeting with Obama on the stimulus package, and the last line was, “You can spend a lot of money on contraceptives, but how is that going to stimulate the economy?”
Well, apparently SOMETHING’S getting stimulated. Probably the only part that Democrat voters care about.
On the surface I have to kind of admire her decision to back out, for whatever reason. It would be refreshing if she felt no entitlement to the post because of her famous family heritage.
Even if she has a skeleton, since when has a scandal ever hurt a Democrat, thanks to the MSM, as well as the Liberal M.O. to never admit their own wrongdoing? Sen. Byrd (D) is a friggin Grand Dragon in the KKK and he keeps getting elected/protected, after all.
Is it any wonder they dont mind raising taxes?? No self respecting Democrat would pay them!!
Only conservatives, or Republicans, can be hypocrites. You can’t contradict your standards, if you have no standards.
Right wingers claim to have morals, and sometimes fall short. FARGIN HYPOCRITICAL BASTIDGES!!!
Lefties claim moral relativism as opposed to absolutes, and therefore cannot be scrutinized.
SLIMY ICEHOLES!!!
Let’s not forget the tax wonderfulness of Charlie Rangle.
I had heard she was still in until learning they would need a good head shot for the campaign posters.
my friend has performed at her apartment three years in a row and got paid only once out of three times. He was too polite to call and ask for the money. But geeeesh, that annoys the hell out of me, somebody who has all those attendants and they don’t even pay the help.
Isn’t that the whole story of America’s problem with the kenndys?
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…
