It's a little late for fishing expeditions since there was ample time to investigate and ask proper questions during the nomination process. But NOOOOOOO... we had to investigate Viet Nam and Iraq.
Nobody asked about finances then, so why is it credible now? It ain't. VOTE and get on with it.
Hello tal:
This is PURELY political. They can't TOUCH Obama, so they pile on the next best thing. Of COURSE, he's qualified..
excon
So in other words we should just bend over and take it in the backside. I like Cruz, he's a bulldog. You know an old bulldog don't you?
Oh and Tal, it was during the nomination HEARINGS which IS where you ask questions. But again, you guys wouldn't know anything about Borking a nominee do you?
Maybe it is political . I think he'd be a disaster . But I understand why the President wants him. The President wants to gut the military to 1970s levels of ineffectiveness. With Hagel ;he has a Republic face to the dismantling so he can claim bipartisanship. That's the pitiful part .
You squandered your opporunity buddy, and to put Bork for SCOTUS in the same category as Hagle for Defense is ludicrous. Your own presidential nominee got away with releasing a year of his taxes and you guys said NOTHING, but defended him. Now you want a cabinet post nominee to be scrutinized going back 5 years? You should have called the FBI sooner.
Now vote, up or down, doesn't matter.

Guys like Hagal are the ones that thought "Measured response" during the Vietnam war was the way to fight a battle.
They were wrong then too. Halfassing anything is a recipee for failure.
Position is irrelevant, Dems started this reaming of nominees and now whine when ALL of theirs don't sail through without vetting. Get over it.Quote:

Mitt Romney tax documents 2010-2011
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has released his 2011 federal tax return. He also has released a letter from his tax preparers, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, giving a summary of Romney's tax rates for the 20-year period from 1990-2009. View the full 2011 return and the 20-year summary letter, as well as his previously released 2010 federal tax return, 2011 estimated 1040 form and tax documents for his family's blind trusts and charitable foundation. Also included in the release was the 2011 federal tax return for vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan.
Only 5? What's the problem?Quote:
