No good deed (of a republican) goes unpunished.
Remember when Bush nominated Linda Chavez for Secretary of Labor the Democrats put their "Opposition Research Team" on the case a discovered that Chavez had a housekeeper for whom she did not deduct SS payments for. Her sin? She had discovered this homeless Spanish woman and offered to let her live with her family. The woman wanted to pay for her keep by being their housekeeper. They agreed and no money changed hands, yet the Democrats said she should have been paying SS for her. She withdrew her nomination. That is just one difference between conservatives and liberals. This thing with Banchmann is just more of the same. Look at the scrutiny the Palin family gets.
