But it needs to be with *ZERO* Republican votes.

And I thought it was illegal for a former Senator to go straight to lobbying. Oh, never mind. That’s only Republican Senators. The Democrats just call it influence (peddling).

You’re precisely correct.

Consistent with Brad’s presentation here, Dashcle must be confirmed by the Congress to join President Obama in bringing America to whatever end (although all Rs/Cs will fight at every turn.) in the next 4 years.

With him in charge it will be a compete disaster and probably more easily undone than if they were to scrounge up someone with some competency. No matter what, they’re going to ram socialized medicine down our throats. Look on the bright side, okay? This is Daschle we’re talking about and as far as the current Democrat party goes, are there people in it who aren’t crooks? They ostracize them… like Lieberman.

Hail! the Great President Obama,

You friend Blago is being tormented by both Dems and Reps.

He’s your good friend and ally.

Help him Mr. President. Please show mercy. Stop Blago’s Impeachment proceedings. Save him, oh Merciful President.

It will be wise, Mr. President. It will be wise and classy. [Anyway, Blago is just like you.]

Your humble Servant,

A Nobody

I just wrote about this (http://www.realityunwound.com) & couldn’t disagree more.

1.Daschle is a crook. He broke the law. There should be a higher standard, especially for unelected (thereby largely above public accountability)

2. Regardless of his tax-evading, the guy is a socialist health care nut. His ideas are extreme left. Even before we knew he was crooked, every Republican should have voted against his ideas. The tax evasion just gives us the opportunity to have legitimate (read:”non-partisan”) reasons to do it.

Personally, I don’t need any reminders about the substance of King Barry The Hopeful’s administration, much less a certified socialist railroading an already broken health care system.

There are bigger crocodiles within Camp Obama and the United States Congress for Liberals and Democrats.

So, 120K is small using Libs/Dems’ standard.

So, to his Excellency, Pres. Barack Hussein Obama, and to the Democrat-Run Congress, please honor yourselves by nominating and confirming Daschle.

HE’S JUST ONE OF YOURS. No big deal. What’s so wrong about that?
