Inquiring minds want to know, and Romney refuses to tell.

BTW, Ann Romney taped an interview with Brian Williams that will be shown tomorrow night, and clip are already out: she gets pretty damn huffy about their income taxes. Doesn't help their cause.
Just what I thought. The real answer is that Reid won't release his own tax returns because this is a canard. Romney is absolutely right not to release his returns just so the Democrats can use is to create more false B.S. issues. Once again, thanks for playing.

Harry Reid isn't running for President. Who the hell gives a damn about his returns?

Mitt Romney is running for President. Mitt Romney himself, when he was running for Gov. of Mass, said, "Offshore accounts are just places to hide money".

Did Mitt Romney take IRS tax amnesty to avoid prosecution for his offshore accounts, and tax shelters in the Caymens? Romney won't tell. Romney hasn't even released one full year of taxes - he's withheld documents.

Considering Romney lied outright to the public in his run for Governor of Mass., and was caught lying repeatedly and outed publicly about what state he used as his home state on his returns (he lied and said it was Mass, but it was Utah, and that was outed publicly, and Romney refiled to change it) - nobody is believing Romney now when he says he's not done anything illegal with his taxes.

So you are saying that lying while running for office is unacceptable and anyone caught doing so should not be considered electable right?

As Don King would say, "Only in America"

Feelings both actual and conceived now trump common sense both present and future.

No.

I think that lying while running for office is something that voters have an absolute right to investigate, in order to make decisions before they vote.

Unless they are uneducated and swept up in the greatest marketing campaign in history of course.

All politics is marketing. That's why Mitt's week has been completely disastrous. Sheldon Adelson has hundreds of millions and has said he'll spend them. They are currently outspending 4 to 1. Not getting much for it, however, the poll numbers just won't rise.

I hope Sheldon gets to purchase his Department of Justice via his owned operative President Romney, in order to halt that currently ongoing federal investigation that would ruin his business.

Wow - can you imagine if candidate Obama did that? What would be said about it? Limbaugh, Erickson, Hannity - their heads would literally explode, wouldn't they?

Marketing - Fodder of Xenophobes knows how to do it best

Where you do you get your information from Riot? The real polls haven't changed in any significant way since Ryan became Romney's running mate. You must looking at the MSNBC poll which they conduct by a show of hands in their newsroom.

So do you think that proven lies used when pandering to certain voters, such as Obama's claims in a 2007 speech in Selma, Alabama that President Kennedy sponsered the airlift in Africa responsible for bringing his family to the U.S, when in reality Obama's father came to the U.S. 2 years before JFK was President and his claim that Selma's 1965 Bloody Sunday demonstration brought his parents together which led to his birth when in fact he was born four years before that demonstration are more important regarding a candidate's qualifications than the pure speculation that Romney is lying about dodging the payment of his taxes?
