It's really not rocket science.
3. Romney has already lied in 2002 about what was in his taxes. He can't be trusted to tell the truth when it comes to his taxes.

So what you are saying is RMoney can't release his tax returns because of what might be on them, got it, that's what I figured.

As a matter of fact, yes. He does have a history about lying about his tax returns.

Personally, I believe even Liberals are starting to understand how foolish they look by continuing to press the tax return issue. I view it as one of those campaign issues that should have come and gone......wore out its effective shelf-life.....move on to something else. The issue here is that there is nothing else for Democrats to run on. What record would they use? What could they possibly tout that they haven't touted yet??? There's certainly nothing positive that will resonate with America. So, tax returns are the core issue in the Obama Camp.

Believe it or not, I sort of feel sorry for Democrats and liberals. It must be a horrible position to be in defending a total loser at a crucial juncture in American history.

Dumb to the core.
Yet "trust me" RMoney wants you to just take his word for it, nothing more than a crooked politician telling you to trust them, yet it seems like you Cons have all gotten in line behind your leader.

Yet this issue is still in the news, it has been in the news all year long, and it isn't going away until after Romney loses the election.

That's okay. I didn't either. That was entirely a hypothetical because even Romney is not so stupid as to actually ask for what all his idiotic sycophants have been foaming over. You will note that he has never once asked for Obama's college records. That idiotic request is reserved entirely for the pathetic cretins like Trump who are cheering him on from the sidelines.

Certainly, given Romney's consistent response on this issue, even you can't really believe that.

Serious question: Given the state of affairs in America, do you think it's sad that that's ALL Democrats have to effectively campaign on?

if I were Romney I'd say "sure, I'll give you 5 years of tax returns.....let me wait until my third year in office, the same way you waited three years to materialize a birth certificate".

Yet we are currently winning in the polls. Actually if you have been paying attention, this in only one of the many issues that are being talked about. I just find it funny that Romney is willing to bury his chances simply by hiding something he should of put out back in April and it would of been old news by now. Mistake for Romney.
