Geithner Confirmed with some Repub Support
Fox News Live | 1/26/09 | vanity

Posted on 01/26/2009 3:48:28 PM PST by pabianice

Geithner vote of 60-34 (near strict party line), Gibbs' Press Beatings, Pelosi's $300M for abortion, Obama's "I won so shut up" -- The speed with which the Obama Administration is going down is breathtaking -- and wonderful!

No, he doesn’t deserve a vote. He’s a tax cheat. He tried to pull a fraud on the government. He signed documents that were falsified. Evidently he skated.

You concede too much here. You’re playing by rules of common decency, abiding by normal policy, and they are playing by the morals of a scoundrel, bending the rules to place a crook into public office.

A tax cheat does not deserve a straight up or down vote.

Ensign is rubber-stamping all these corrupt appointments. I wonder what is in it for Nevada?

Sad thing is that this isn’t even about conservatism. It’s about fitness for the office and a tax cheat should be disqaulified and rebuked by both aisles.

Well-stated. The disease of corruption in D.C. seems nearly irreversible at this point.

This is not a purely partisan issue; it is a corruption issue. The only quote of integrity on the matter came from ..... Sen. Robert Byrd!!

Bad eough that so many of the repubs voted for this guy, but for Obama to approve him in the first place makes me sick. So much for a brand new “ethical” administration.

Maybe he has become Dingy Harry's "boy."

I'll be contacting Graham's office tomorrow to let him know we'll not be vacationing in Kiawah Island, SC until he's been removed from office.

Hey, I called the offices of Cornyn and Shelby today. And I live in Ohio.

And, it doesn’t look like we are going to have much in the way of conservative opposition to this President or the DimocRAT party. They should all be fired.
