Treasury-Secretary Timothy Geithner, the tax cheat who had not paid his taxes when nominated by Obama for the position, is now using the IRS to smear GOP Senatorial candidate Marco Rubio in Florida.

Rubio now leads Florida Governor Charlie Crist for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate, prompting the governor to hint that he may drop out of the race and run as an independent.

As a young, bright, articulate small-government conservative, Rubio is viewed by many within the GOP and the Tea Party movement as a potential star in conservative politics with the same charisma and gravitas as Ronald Reagan.

Thus, the big government thugs in Washington view Rubio as a threat, given that a tax cheat has decided to use the IRS to attempt to smear Rubio over a minor issue involving his taxes. Geithner launched an investigation over allegations that Rubio misused a GOP credit card.

Yet neither Geithner nor at least a half-dozen others in the Obama Administration have answered for their failure to pay taxes prior to their being nominated for government posts. And to date not a single government or Wall Street figure in the multi-trillion-dollar economic debacle has been investigated or charged with crimes.

Assuming Rubio’s innocence, they may be picking a fight with the wrong hombre here. He may go from Florida powerhouse to national leader of the movement to stop this out of control government.
