Make that 5 years (1981 - 1986). By the way, a man is either a bishop or he's not a bishop. There is no "equivalent" of a bishop.

I think you know the answer to that. It's called bigotry. Otherwise, it wouldn't come up in every flippin' post people make.

His father would likely think it was for show.

The Kennedy's supported policies that helped the middle-class -- against their own financial interests. R'money is no Kennedy.
His father paid 37%...because that was the law then....Mitt paid 13%....because that's the law now. People are out to make it like he did some thing wrong by paying his taxes way any one else would in his situation.

We don't know how much he paid because he refuses to release his returns.

The man is a pathological liar and just because he says he paid 13% doesn't mean he paid 13% (like that is fair - legal, perhaps, but fair?).

He needs to release his returns so we can see the "ammunition" for ourselves.

Hey, Romney! What are you hiding??

No dear boy, that is normal English parlance, yes I do agree it would be a bit much for American conservatives many of whom would believe the bible was first written in English.
But hey, I am not saying that keeping them chained in the kitchen without a credit card is wrong.

I don't know what he did but I certainly don't see him living in a basement. Really? He can't afford better then that.

Did Mitt Romney Live In His Son's Unfinished Basement Last Year? - Forbes

Now *there's* some voter fraud I could believe!

His son's house has six bedrooms.

Why would he stay in an unfinished basement?

Show me a voter registration from somewhere other than MA for the same period and I'll entertain voter fraud speculation.

Aside from that, a guy with multiple homes in multiple states can call whichever one he wants his home for voting purposes, and that includes his kid's couch.

Furthermore, I'm not sure it is illegal for a person with more than one home to use one home for voting purposes and another for tax purposes.

I expect a person with so much personal property and who is known to make good use of all legal deductions would leave more of a paper trail related to his primary residence than just a redacted address.

Nothing like NYC liberals who have summer homes in Florida and are registered to vote in both NY and FL and did so thanks to airline travel.

If he mans up and releases the taxes, at that point, we would know if he was registered to vote in another state (most likely CA) since that information would somehow come out at that point.
