First of all they did not do the same thing at all. One was a small error similar to the errors in reporting many Americans make every tax season. When the error was discovered it was resolved. The other involved an on-going intent to deceive, hiding assets, false filings and perjury.
Intent is the key difference here.
Your assertion that they "did the same thing" is a simple broad accusation that does not adequately address the vastly different situations these men find themselves in.

If you live in an area that is extremely away from mountains and nice vistas, and you were born/raised in such areas, do you miss them?

You're reading Bernard Kerick could get up to 61 years in prison for false tax returns and lying during the vetting process for leading the Department of Homeland Security, but Timothy Geitner does the same and gets no jail and gets confirmed...corrupt or not?

You are going to tell me that Geitner did not know that he had to pay taxes on that money?! Bumpkiss! Lying is lying, and tax evasion is tax evasion, but I guess it is ok, because Geitner is a liberal.

Piss off...I am a conservative who is not a reactionary ass.
There is a huge difference in these two cases, namely intent. An investment or similar account that is not properly taxed or reported while the tax payer is paying their taxes regularly is a lie of omission at worst with no attempt to conceal, deceive or defraud. Kerick case is vastly different. Substantial evidence exists that shows an on-going attempt to defraud and conceal. Additionally evidence exists that he perjure himself.
I suppose for some people over simplification, idiocy, finger pointing and name calling is their standard mode. Simple solutions for simple minds.

Only a socialist would call someone a reactionary. The difference is one works for the liberals, one worked for a moderate Republican. Geitner's fault wasn't an investment, it was on money paid for services. I never said that Kerick wasn't a dirtbag. There is duality here, the transgressions of liberals who are played down, those of conservatives are played up. You can call yourself conservative all you want, but if it smells like a duck, acts like a duck, and constantly comes to the defense of other ducks, then it's a duck...you are a liberal who is lying to herself.

You don't know Jack!
Thanks for the opportunity to use that phrase haha

I know your type, and you are not what you say you are. You are the kind who registers as a Republican so that you can say that you voted for Obama as a Republican. In short, you are the ass that you accuse me of being.
by jackpipe30 on November 5th, 2009
haha No, I am a real conservative not an ignorant hysterical finger pointing Bible thumping hypocrite like you and so many of your ilk that has ruined the republican party with your idiocy. Watch out jackpipe30 (you are aptly named btw) paranoia may destroy ya!

You missed with your insults. It is fucking liberal scum like your sorry ass who have ruined the Republican Party, that and the fact that they refuse to point out the fact that the Democrats fight dirty and get away with it because the media rarely calls them on it.

If you're a conservative then why do you reference liberal business haters when they make your BP point for you?
by LarryH54 on May 31st, 2010
Gosh, what a compliment! You gone and read my past posts looking for something to comment on! HUGS & Kisses haha
How do I choose who to reference? Umm I read a good deal of news from a variety of sources. It is what it is. Next time just for you maybe I will quote some republicans haha
Thanks by the way for drawing my attention back to this thread if for no other reason than it allows me to tell jackpipe30 to piss off.

Oh, I wasn't looking you up. Your mouth is hard to miss.
by LarryH54 on May 31st, 2010
Funny that...this post just popped up eh? From 6Nov2009? That's nearly seven months ago but there it was I bet fresh on your screen!
If you are going to lie you really ought to try harder than that!
