What Republican told him that he didn’t have to pay his taxes Andrea?

Daschle brought Daschle down. I’m tired of these left wing idiots excusing there own.

TrueBlueMormon   February 4th, 2009 - 12:30 pm

Thank you Bill Clinton….DENY DENY DENY

those darn republicans..imagine the nerve of bringing up $100k+ in unpaid taxes as being a big deal..its really unfair

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   February 4th, 2009 - 1:17 pm

Not so…America…Republicans and Democrats alike are fed up with these slugs in Washington.

We not only went after the tax evaders of Daschle but Geithner and the terrorist protector Holder.

But unfortunately not enough people called/emailed on Geithner or Holder…but we are on the move to be the defenders of right and wrong because you Washington slugs don’t know the difference.
===================================

Andrea, if you will permit me to rewrite this headline and simply change one word:
MSNBC’s Mitchell: Public Will “Thank” the GOP for Daschle’s Downfall
Andrea, most people in America are mature enough to accept when they have made a bad decision and move on. Now, Democrats who have a slightly regressive ability to deal with defeat will look to blame someone other than themselves. Americans don’t want a tax cheat in charge of a huge portion of the federal government. Also I dare say that Americans who have the ability to research socialized healthcare that has been tried in countless other countries recognize the misery that it will bring to the US.

TYPICAL   February 4th, 2009 - 2:30 pm

Some things you can set your clock too.

C’mon ‘10!!

Pete   February 4th, 2009 - 2:36 pm

And her husband Alan Greenspan blames Andrea for his lack of erectile interest.

Enzo   February 4th, 2009 - 2:40 pm

The public won’t blame Republicans for Daschle’s downfall, but the media will report it that way. Hey Andrea, how will you report Obama’s own admission… “I, uh… I screwed up!”??? HIS own words… now do your job, hack!

Remember as a child when you would blame a teacher for “failing you” on an exam if you were caught cheating? …Of course, the teacher would always remind you that “you failed yourself.”
Tom Daschle failed himself, and Barack Hussein Obama is failing as president early on. Andrea Mitchell has done nothing but fail as a journalist.

The left is rife with failures. None of this is the least bit surprising. It is going to get a whole lot uglier, folks.

Monica   February 4th, 2009 - 2:40 pm

Andrea-
Are you that stupid to actually believe it was the Republicans who brought Daschle down? The guy screwed up, and didn’t pay his taxes. How can you possibly blame Republicans for his screw-up? Obama made another mistake in not having his choices properly vetted. Maybe Obama should dismiss the staff who obviously aren’t doing their jobs in vetting Obama’s choices for his administration.

Speaker House   February 4th, 2009 - 2:49 pm

I get so sick of these liberal news people who blame the republicans on what happens. Tell me Andrea, will the late night and news shows pick on Obama when he tries to open the wrong door like Bush accidently did a few years ago. Will the late night and news shows pick on Obama when he bops his head on the door opening when he gets in the presidential helicopter. Of course not. We can see right through your one sideness. Why are you blaming the republicans for these people withdrawing their name. These people ought to be ashamed of themselves for putting their party president in this situation. I can’t believe that one guy got approved. I don’t understand how the dems stuck up for him even though he didn’t pay his taxes. He would of gotten lambasted if this was Bush’s nominee. They did Obama a disservice by letting him be in this situation. I wish Obama all the luck in the world. We need him to be successful. Do you think the dems would feel the same as I if their president was a republican. My feeling is you hope for the best no matter what party the president is. It drives me up a wall when the Republicans do this also.

Jamesb   February 4th, 2009 - 2:54 pm

Really? Is there NEED for anymore EVIDENCE that the true media relations and PROPAGADA Dept. ISN’T MSNBC? Yo, IRS. Take a look at Andrea and the old fossil she’s married to, see what their up to.

Flyoverman   February 4th, 2009 - 3:01 pm

Forgot to take our meds did we, Andrea? WOW!

GiveMeLiberty   February 4th, 2009 - 3:11 pm

UNBELIEVABLE! This woman makes my skin crawl. To try and put this on the Republicans is absurd. She must be related to Chris Matthews. How about Daschle taking responsibility for his criminal behavior? This woman has NO business reporting the news. She should be tarred and feathered. I’d be happy to help with that!!

Frank   February 4th, 2009 - 3:17 pm

Does this mean that Andrea and MSNBC

Frank   February 4th, 2009 - 3:20 pm

Does this mean Andrea and MSNBC have no problems with people not paying their taxes as long as they are Democrats? Will they be as forgiving of a Republican not paying his/her taxes? Will they be as forgiving if it is a CEO of a large company not paying their taxes? Talk about a double standard. I am suprised she did not say that George Bush made Daschale not pay his taxes.

Eagle Eye   February 4th, 2009 - 3:22 pm

Oh adrea, it was the press, and media, not the GOP. Even the ultra libtard NYT

ozhole   February 4th, 2009 - 3:29 pm

Andrea what are you smoking? Daschale is a criminal, I know if I didn’t pay my taxes the Gov would be all over me – not to mention over 100K. You libs are all nuts and you’re getting what you voted for. Ha Ha Ha!!!!!

peter c   February 4th, 2009 - 4:08 pm

Anrea has been one of the worst MSNBC liars all along.She is sicking.
But there should be no surprise that The Messiah wanted this Creep.All his friends,Wright,Ayers,and many more got passes from Andrea and instead they looked into Palin’s kid’s boyfriend? Unbelievable arrogance!
If this country goes socialist like Obama wants…Hollywood and MSNBC creeps will be the important people to the Mother Country and get to shop in all High Class places and never go without as all the Dems will…while we all suffer.
This is what you get with a Godless society….sound familiar? Maybe the Soviet Union…N.Korea… China…Cambodia,Viet Nam….Belarus… should all make us think and do all we can to stop this movement Pelosi and Reid(two triadors) and Obama want us to move to.

Senator Klit Snapper r-South Dakota   February 4th, 2009 - 4:22 pm

Check this skank out closely. It appears she uses ultra coarse sandpaper to grind that pock marked ugly mug. But Daddy Warbucks Greenspan loves her. Two of the ugliest creatures on Earth. The sex must be titillating.

JohnnyAmerican   February 4th, 2009 - 4:29 pm

I wanted to let all the people who commented on this item to know How right you are. amazing how MSNBC and Adrea both feel this is the GOP fault. But it was really Daschale’s own doing. Not the GOP. Eileen for Freedom has the right stuff about finding out about your own rep’s. look, read, and educate. simple process….. for Republicans

I thought Daschale was the one who didn’t pay his taxes. So it’s the GOP’s fault now. I wonder how they forced him to do it? Andrea you are an idiot.

SuperSarge229   February 4th, 2009 - 5:44 pm

The same embarrassed voters that put him in office brought Tom Daschle down first. Then he was brought down by his arrogant disregard for the tax laws he loved so much when he was in office!
(No wonder the Dems love taxes! They never pay them!)
I’m sure the GOP would love to be able to take credit for canning Tom “deeply concerned” Daschle, but he did it to himself. Just like this administration is doing. Failure is eminent. This guy (Obama) has bitten off so much more than he can chew. That will become more and more evident as time passes.

Biden ‘09?

Cognitive Dissident   February 4th, 2009 - 6:40 pm

In fairness, there are plenty on the left and in the media that applaud the Daschle failure as a reminder to Obama to keep his campaign promises to clean up washington.

see for yourself!

voter fraud Alert   February 4th, 2009 - 6:55 pm

**Kaine Administration/Obama Campaign Manipulating Virginia Election
Policy**

**

Thousands of Students Found Registered In Two States at the Same
Time**

An ongoing analysis of data matching voter registration lists in
other states with the list of newly registered voters in Virginia has
confirmed that there are thousands of students who attend college in
Virginia who are registered here as well as in their home state. Even
more alarming, some of these students have applied for absentee
ballots in their home state after having just registered to vote here.

In just eight localities in Pennsylvania, over 350 individuals were
registered to vote both in Virginia and Pennsylvania, and 40 of these
individuals have applied for and/or received absentee ballots. The
analysis is continuing.

“Every Virginian should be concerned about the potential for fraud
on a scale we have not witnessed before in Virginia, said Mike Wade,
Third District GOP Chairman. “I am pleased that Secretary Rodrigues
and the State Board of Elections is taking this seriously and has
turned the names of those applying for ballots in other states over to
the State Police.”

Wade continued, “It is vital this year that every Virginian be
vigilant and aware and report suspected fraud to the proper
authorities.”

This situation is a direct result of the intervention by Governor
Kaine’s office in the policymaking process, supported by pressure
from the Obama campaign directed toward both the State Board of
Elections and local Registrars. In early September, election policy
was changed to shift responsibility from the local Registrar to the
student him/herself for determining whether or not they are a resident
of Virginia. Registrars were further instructed to not inform an
applicant for voter registration about such things as the requirement
under state law for an individual to contact the DMV and obtain a
Virginia Driver’s License within 60 days of becoming a resident of
Virginia.

“The unprecedented involvement of the Governor’s Chief of Staff,
in directing policy and personally editing communications to
Registrars for the sole purpose of benefitting one candidate in one
race, has cast doubts on the entire policymaking process,” Wade
added. “The result is the alarming situation we now find ourselves
in.”

Drano   February 4th, 2009 - 7:04 pm

That’s really funny. Like the “public” even knows who Daschle is in the first place. No more than 5 out of 100 people could name a vice president – any vice president.

Liberal means you like to spend money – someone else’s money. And taxes? That is for the suckers who work for a living. Typical. The gang of 535 senators, representatives, and supreme court judges rolls on leaving a wake of disaster behind them.

LK   February 4th, 2009 - 7:12 pm

Only a Liberal Loon like Mitchell could overlook Daschle’s FAILURE TO PAY TAXES and blame the whole sorry mess on the GOP. No thought to Obama’s over inflated ego thinking he can have crook, after crook in his administration and no one will make an issue of it!

MSNBC is probably surprised that every network still isn’t in the tank for Obama. You’d thinking their miserable ratings would be a clue!

Obama and the Dems are attempting to use tax dollars via the stimulus to PAYOFF ACORN, unions and non-taxpaying voters for VOTES DELIVERED AND CAST!

McGovernWon   February 4th, 2009 - 8:24 pm

This is the fault of Bush. Daschle had to keep his money because Bush made him scared of so called terrorist – which don’t exist! This was all faked. 911 was staged! Iraq was staged! Daschle was just trying to provide for his family. Bush made him cheat on his taxes and lie in the vetting process. He is just trying to earn a living. Cheney and Bush scared everyone and made us all start lying and cheating. Not that Obama is in office, let us forget the past and start over.

Pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan now! Iran will then leave us alone. Let Iran have the bomb to make the world more balanced. Leave Obama alone!!!

DanielTUSA   February 4th, 2009 - 10:24 pm

Although I don’t think the Republicans had anything to do with Daschle’s outing for cheating on his taxes, it would be great if they could get the credit. America might want to ignore hanky panky in the White House but we will not tolerate a big tax politician trying to slide on his taxes. The fact that Andrea Mitchell has her panties in a bunch over this shows that the media just doesn’t get it.

Further examples that liberalism is a mental disorder. The person who “brought him down” is Daschle himself – for being a tax criminal.

Mad Libs   February 4th, 2009 - 11:48 pm

Dr. Rossiter, a noted phychologist, says liberals are clinicaly mad and the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:

creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization
satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation
augmenting primitive feelings of envy
rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.

Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded,” says Dr. Lyle Rossiter. “Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.”

“The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind,” he says.”

“When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious.”

“A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity – as liberals do,” he says. “A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population – as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation’s citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do.”

Emma3   February 5th, 2009 - 1:06 am

Miss Mitchell needs to be put out of her misery! This is just the BEGINNING….. and I don’t think she will be able to stand the mental strain!!! LOL!
Do you think the Liberal-Leftist-Media-Hacks really believe all the crap that they have been spreading about the “ONE”? ROTFLMAO!!!!!

The MSMedia is a JOKE!
When will their eyes be open??? When will it come to them, that the monster they have created is a clown in disguise!
The only speeches that were ANY GOOD, that O’Dumbo gave…. were the speeches that had already been done by people already!
Does anyone know that Obama has admitted, that he wrote the BORING speech he gave on the day he took the “OAF” of office? Can you believe the laughable woman who read that stupid… dumbass poem? Did they not read what she was going to say first…. and if they did…. did anyone think that the word “Boom-Box” was a real good sign to tell them this GOOBER was a BIG MISTAKE!

And let’s not forget the man who gave the prayer! Who in the world has a prayer for a President that has the words…. “Yellow will be Mellow…. Brown will get Around…. White will see right”…. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

BO is a Joke….
you better take notes…
His wife made me scream….
With her gloves that were green…
America’s going down….
cause BO is a clown…
You can count all his hairs…
with his nose up in the air…

Rev Wrong,
Don’t “quit” your quest to learn how to spell properly, and use coherent phraseology. There’s a saying that goes, “Better to be merely thought of as an ignoramous, than to open your mouth and confirm the suspicion.”

artm   February 5th, 2009 - 2:04 pm

I have said before, and I will say it again here. In about one year Americans will have had their fill of President Obama, He is a one term president.

And Mitchell is like most Libs and beleives, ” How dare they oppose the all and mighty one.”?

Misty   February 5th, 2009 - 2:36 pm

Andrea Mitchell is just another liberal hag angry that yet another tax cheat surfaces out Obama’s administration nominees. Liberals are such vile, hateful beings who want America to succumb to socialism. I’m sick of them trying to change the culture and fabric of our nation and I will continue to be outspoken on this subject.
