If Tom Daschel is nominated will ?

that add credence to the precedence Bill Clinton set by pardoning tax evader Marc Rich? Does it come down to do as I say not as I do? Why do Democrats justify this type of illegal behavior? Republicans on the other hand will hang one of their own members if they deserve it. Also, is it a pure coincidence that he noticed the error just before the nomination proceedings? Is it part of the transparency policy Obama has been speaking of? Could it be Daschel was aware all along he had not paid them, but waited to see if he was going to be picked for the position by Obama? In other words maybe he thought he could get away with his " honest mistake" to the tune of 128K, more than I earn in 4 years. How do we know in the last thirty years he hasn't done this kind of thing before, or has he finally sucb to the temptations of tax evasion? Could it be he harbored so much hatred toward Bush and his policies, he thought it would be ok to break the law in an effort to keep his earnings from the federal government. On the other hand, maybe it's just other peoples money he's interested in divying up.
