You are right no one really cares that he is rich, but they do care HOW he got his money and WHY is it in overseas bank accounts, and WHY he is not being forth coming on his dealings with Bain capital. But you are right no one cares that he is wealthy
I'm starting to think that liberals, like yourself and the Obama sycophants at ABC news, are mentally feeble. You don't see a distinction here? Romney is a private citizen. So the Government Ethics standards do not apply to him. They apply to government employees. Kennedy was a government employee when Romney criticized his blind trust. Presumably if and when he is elected president Romney will take the necessary steps to make sure that his blind trust conforms to the standards expected of government employees.
You are correct he is a private citizen, but he is vying for the top elected office in the land this mess should have be taken care of BEFORE he decided to run for president. My question to you is that was'nt these trust in affect while he was governor of Ma? You are assuming that he would remove those blind trust after he gets in office, but what if does not? Don't you think that is a bit decietful?
Mr. Romney's investments are transparent. They are contained in the tax records he released earlier this year. That's how we learned that some of his money was invested in a Swiss bank and that he had some funds invested in banks in the Cayman Islands. Make of that what you will. But if the manager of an investment portfolio does not seek to maximize the return on investment he should be fired. Simply listen to the talking heads on the business channels. They're saying invest in emerging markets, not Europe or the United States. Right now the return on US government bonds is the lowest in history, thanks in large part because Bernanke is keeping rates low to finance Obama's spending spree. And that policy is chasing away investment dollars out of the US. There's your real scandal.
No one is questioning his investments just his tax returns that he will not release. True, this is the reason how everyone knew about his hidden bank accounts, but don't you think that this maybe the reason why he will not release anymore because of the fear that some other skeleton might pop out? Once again you are mixing investments with tax havens. Companies are sending their "investment dollars" overseas only because of cheap labor and max profits and this will continue under mitt, so what was your point again?
Doesnt really matter whats dug up on Romney, for many their vote is just an anti Obama vote more than a pro Romney vote.Could be found out Romney is the biggest crook ever,would matter not a whit to the right its the anti Obama vote that they find more important.
I found that to be true and undeniable even by other republicans that have been quoted saying that they will "just hold their noses and vote for romney". I'm really noticing the power of both racism and stupidity for some people to support mitt just because it is not Obama regardless of whatever he does or says wrong, even if it is against their own best interest.
That 20% is probably people like you who wouldnt vote for Romney under any circumstances because you use your blind partisan hate to keep you from discussing real issues while you run around deflecting from Obamas failures.
Since you mentioned real issues can you please list the things besides tax cuts for the wealthy and repealing the Healthcare Act any original plan that mitt said that he would do if elected?
So says the poster who cant do anything but project
LIE, Bush bailed out the auto industry, not Obama
I thought the whole point of posting a thread was to project a view or opinion..
As for Bush bailing out the auto industry? must be a lot of mis information out there as Obama has been taken to task relentlessly for his supposed bailing out of the auto industry.
You got a link on that issue pghquest so i can use it the next time Obama gets heat for bailing out the auto industry i can refer them to the real truth..?

Read this:
Quote:
The bailout, which ultimately totaled $85 billion, was originally begun during the waning days of the Bush Administration. With a specific rescue effort rejected by Congress, the former Commander-in-Chief decided to tap into a separate, $700 billion fund Capitol Hill did approve for the bailout of Wall Street and the banking industry.

Well, you're right suggesting that the scandal erupted because of Romney's defensiveness when asked aobut releasing tax returns and providing the specifics of his foreign banking and business practices. Many people want to know, also, what that money squirreled-away is being used for and the businesses it is supporting. For someone asking for the job to run our nation I think the questions are fairly asked.

I think you are mixing up Bush with Carter, and re elected with one term.
