Ok
You are running for President in a country divided by ideology and what path to take in the future.
You have a $500,000 dollar horse which you can deduct $77,000 dollars for in taxes ( I think this is what I heard but perception not truth is everything).
Your wife flys said horse to the London Olympics threee months before election day so it can compete in a dressage contest.
Oh yes you will not release your tax forms.

It is like he is purposely trying to get the robber baron vote....I am sure that is a big enough vote to turn Ohio or Florida lol

Oh I got this from Charles Krauthammer on FOX BTW

Too bad you're out in cow land () I'd drop by and have a couple.

Gawd, Ole' Mitt needs a muzzle. He demands of Harry to,"Put up or shut up!"
This point is not going to go away. C'mon Mitt, just show us your tax forms and your wifes too. Put up or shut up, indeed!

He's hiding something, from all of my years of dealing with lairs and thief's. Mr Mitt is acting awful guilty. Why should he demand the facts when he will not show his? The birthers demanded a piece of paper from you know who and still will not believe when shown the facts so my guess they see this as an intrusion.

I heard his line of crap to Hannity on replay. For talking to somebody who is only going to play softball he sure was talking in an odd tone. Face it, if there was nothing or little to hide he would be best to get it over with ASAP. There is something there and it sure fits with the Bain garbage. Insulting the Palestinians for his buddy Adelson's 100 million, sheesh.
Bad news all around for this dude, there seem to be plenty of believers as I heard him refer his flock of sheep.

Why is Obama hiding his mediocre grades? I'm certain if they were as good as people assume, he'd release them. Why did no one bitch about McCain's two returns or Reagan's one return?

Harry Reid lowering himself into the cesspool of conjecture is just plain wrong for a majority leader. Even his supposed story is ridiculous. Why would a Bain inverstor have knowledge of Romney's personal returns. Further, if it was someone that was privy to that information, then wouldn't it breach confidentiality and professional ethics?

Romney has not exactly been hiding during the last decade. He's been in the public spotlight and has had long term political aspirations. Do you really think his returns have some nefarious content? Given Obama's penchant for insinuating or manufacturing innuendo/dirt on previous political opponents, it's reasonable not to give him complicated tax returns to use as a club.

Mainly because Mitts Dad advocated and actually did release a dozen years of tax returns. The other reason is Mitt is running on his business experience. I think it's a valid question. In light of Mitt's tax reform plan which the Brookings Institute says will raise taxes on 95% of us and lower the rate on the top earning 5% of us is another justification.
Obama's not touting his grades and I can't think of any other candidate who has released theirs, right or left. Yeah, I'm biased but aren't we all in one way or another.
What will come out probably is Mitt has paid far less percentage wise that the average taxpayer. I doubt that it's zero but nothing would surprise me from this guy. Who knows maybe he did pull down a GE year or two and bragged about it to an investor. Correct me if I'm wrong but an investor wouldn't be bound by professional ethics or confidentiality.
I just can't believe he rose to Harry's bait. He looks the idiot ultra rich frat boy every time he opens his mouth BH. Were are his advisors? It appears that he won't listen or possibly they are just as much of an amateur as Mitt appears to be. I really don't know and Mitt ain't talkin'
The "unnamed source" gambit? I agree that it is a lowdown tactic but it is straight outta Faux New's playbook used on the birth certificate fake issue. That is the danger in using tactics of that nature, the victim always gets to use it back atcha down the road and no one is going to get too outraged by it's use. . If you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas.

1. I'd be cool with that.
2. Being that lit hadn't occurred in a while.

Frankly, it wasn't the plan it just happened.

And BOY did I pay the next morning.

What is up with your fetish about Obama's grades...who cares? Many Presidents were middling students and received C averages....really now your being ridiculous . Bush was a great student? Kennedy? Give me a break.
Romney' s on the ropes and he going to suffer the same fate as Fiorina. Romney is stupid...he puts out his tax returns the controversy is over.....or he is over. If he is willing to put up with this much negative coverage then the truth must be bad.
Romney is just too Plastic.....Frank Zappa was talking about him in his song Plastic People 45 years ago.

Yeah Harry Reid using the Big Lie? No one has used that against Obama no? So it is ok when the Birther's use the big lie because they cannot come right out and say they do not like Obama because he is African-American. So when Harry Reid gets nasty it is a cesspool.
Obama produced his birth certificate. Why cannot Romney release his tax records? Because maybe there is a Big Truth there?
