Tim Geithner's tax fraud is not a generalization, Cap. Do we have to argue about what "is" is? :roll:

If it was fraud, it'd be big news. It ain't, so it's apparitions floating around in yours and other Conks' heads. You're nothing more than a Conk shill, native. You're like your candidates - quick with the hate and evil, nonexistent on substance.

Cap, considering the complexity of the tax code, I am willing to concede your point and call Geithner's erroneous tax returns a mistake, as opposed to fraud.

But in my world, a $34,000 "mistake" is substantive! ...especially for the senior cabinet executive in charge of the IRS.

The guy's up front about it and has corrected it. Spend some time going through Cheney and Haliburton paperwork.

No, Geithner was not up front about his erroneous tax return. He "discovered" the "mistakes" for tax years 2003-04 when he was audited for 2001-02. Only later, when he knew he would be going through the nomination process, did he correct 2003-04.

Yeah, I can see how you'd believe that, but, you gotta look at yourself from the outside sometimes. I know I'm an azzhole all too often, but I'm not a smug know-it-all like some. And, sorry, but I don't think you deal with me or some others honestly, either. If you did, you wouldn't exaggerate the way you do and be serious about it.

Cap, I don't know a single soul more smug and know-it-all than you, not just on this board, but among thousands of family, friends, associates and acquaintances.

There are dozens of posters right, left and center who have attempted to engage you in good faith civil discourse to no avail.

You're wrong, native. Someday we'll meet and you'll get to know Cap'n Cat. Let me say, too, that you are decidedly NOT a poster child, either, for civil discourse. I wish you nothing but the best.
