Well finally the Bainers admit they are fishing. They know none of their Bainer questions can be answered by a tax return. I suspect he will release them soon. And just like the birthers when Obama's BC was released, the Bainers will look foolish.
The fact that you call them "Bainers" as if to equate them with "birthers," who have absolutely been discredited with contrary evidence says a great deal.
The fact is that it is customary for Presidential candidates to release multiple years of tax returns. John McCain was an exception and only released two years. Romney's father released a dozen years.
Where there is smoke there is fire. Romney Jr. would have released more if there wasn't something to hide.

Lol, as if his tax returns and the dates of his tenure at Bain have any thing to do with each other. Thats a good one. Ok so back to reality. The Bainers have been discredited by contrary evidence by the MSM and are now joined by the Huffington Post. They are kooks who now count Obama amongst their number. It's a problem for him.

If Romney's tax returns for pre-2010 show that he paid no taxes at all due to his slick tax avoidance schemes, that's an embarrassment that nobody can deny. They may also show how much compensation he earned from Bain while he was 'not involved.' That's also an embarrassment.
A former Bain Capital partner acknowledged Sunday that Mitt Romney "legally" remained the head of the private equity firm until 2002, contradicting Romney's claims that he left the company in February 1999.

Then you haven't read the link I posted. From the link above.
"The nonpartisan group Factcheck.org has investigated the claims made by President Obama stating that Mitt Romney, during his time at Bain Capital, outsourced jobs overseas. Factcheck.org researched the issue and found the president's claims to be untrue and based on evidence that was "weak or non-existent." The organization released an additional statement after The Boston Globe published its much ballyhooed report. Factcheck continued to say they saw "little new in any of these SEC filings" and that "none of the SEC filings show that Romney was anything but a passive, absentee owner during that time, as both Romney and Bain have long said." The Washington Post fact-checker, Glenn Kessler, also refuted the accusations: "Just because you are listed as an owner of shares does not mean you have a managerial role." There have also been several legal and economic scholars that have weighed who also find the claims against Romney to be dubious. Yet, President Obama continues to run the deceptive attack ads anyway. It appears that the promises of "Hope & Change" have been totally thrown out of the Obama re-election campaign."
But you have swerved into the truth. It is a fishing expedition intended to embarass. It is cler for all to see. Independents aren't fond of games like this. The economy is in shambles, the middle class is hurting, the gap between rich and poor is greatest in history, his administration is corrupt. Yet he engages in stupid games like this. The reality is, he has no choice.
"So the Obama team has shot its wad. Its opponent has more ammo and more money now. Romney hasn’t been mortally wounded. And there isn’t money from Obama to keep up the 4-to-1 spending barrage. In fact without it, Obama might well have fallen behind in the race. So the Obama team pleads for money and turns up the volume of the attacks. (After calling Romney a criminal in July, what’s left for September and October?)
Obama is now committed to a strategy that isn’t working. He’s left to unleash his attack dogs and to pray for a miracle. Maybe the economy will rebound. Perhaps Romney will implode or pick a Sarah-Palin-type for vice president.
The reason, you see, that Obama’s camp has become so frantic in July is that its ineffectiveness in the summer subjects its side to grave risks. Having to defend his record, rely on his debate prowess and be evaluated on the economy over the last three years is as risky as, well, as sending thousands across a vast, empty field as enemy fire rains down upon them."
Yes, I did read it and it is dated and all available information wasn't available for them. The Huff Post piece was 15 hours ago.
Lol, of course you didn't read it!

I will simply observe that the Constitution requires that a President of the United States be 1) a natural born US citizen; 2) at least 35 years of age and 3) been a resident within the United States for fourteen years.
As a True Conservative I reject the notion that a candidate must produce income tax returns or school records. It is simply not a requirement.
Of course, the Democratic or Republican party may impose their own requirements concerning their own nominees, if they choose to do so. The Constitution makes no reference to a President being a member of either party.
Those who demand that Mr. Romney submit any tax returns whatsoever are probably not inclined to vote for him anyway.

It is completely up I date. Silly Bainer.
NPR ran a lengthy report on the Bain Scandal. Replays of interviews with Mr. Romney, journalists who broke the stories, etc. Bottom line: He ran the organization. People can pick at small threads which are almost all insignificant, but he was in on all the big decisions. I think that's been establised beyond doubt. He should not just fess-up to his involvement and get the issue behind him. Or the scandal, and the scandal over hidden assest, foreign government contributions to his PACs, etc., will consume him and he'll fight from the Convention to Election Day on ground the Obama campaign will have defined.

You see what I mean about Bainers? In the face of overwhelming evidence they continue to insist they are right. They are simply no different than birthers.
