So true. (bolded)

And so easily remedied but perhaps beyond their potential.

That couldn't be because John Kerry gave the media 20 years of his tax returns instead of just 2 could it?

I was not aware that Pelosi and Kerry hid their money overseas, refused to release their tax returns, and worked for bain exporting jobs. Does anyone have a cite for this.

Why should he be? Contributions to religious organizations are hardly illegal. Anyway, by now, pretty much everybody knows that he tithes. They also have a rough idea of what he's worth. What would knowing what he gave to the LDS Church tell us?

What's wrong with that...how many people are trying that on a daily base, to pay what is needed but if you can use a deduction or can legally put the money else where, why not?

After all a loop hole is created by the government and not by the individual and used to their benefit.

Many American's never pay a dime of taxes and are the ones who are applauding the President for calling out on them...not on all of them because this hypocrite President did the same with his sweetheart deal for his personal real estate property which send the other person to prison!!!!

Pelosi is loaded too and yelling and whining on a daily base...

We also should ask for George Clooney's tax returns for all his donations which probably have been used for tax deductions and what happened to the money that he is taken to Italy and probably to other countries on the way there....

All these hyprocrites should shut up and otherwise disclose their own tax returns to play fair, but that is not what it is all about with liberals!
The nasty hypocrisy from the left knows no limits!

This. I remember many times when Kerry's wealth was attacked and how he was "out of touch" due to his extreme wealth. He also, like Romney, was tagged a "flip flopper" this phrase was actually coined by the GOP for Kerry initially.

Honestly I think that the Dems are using GOP tactics in their negative attacks of Romney. I think it is pretty funny that the GOP can't take what they dish out too! The crazier GOPers go on and on about Obama's transcripts and birth certificate and say no one knew/really knows him and all sorts of crazy things and request documentation about every thing that ever happened in his life, but they get their panties all in a wad over Dems doing the same thing to Romney.

It is funny and makes me have a little more respect for the Dems in that they are not playing on the offensive as much as they usually do. I had a feeling that this election would show Obama and his camp in a more aggressive fashion and I like it even though I'm not a Dem because usually they are much weaker campaigners versus the GOP.

I also would like to know if they did/do these things. I know they don't/didn't export jobs. My mom used to work for Heinz for over 10 years and the place she worked is still open and a cousin of mine works there.

Kerry was the Democratic equivalent of Romney in 2004. Except he actually went to Vietnam.

Don't have to since Rush Limbaugh has received multiple audits just for being Rush Limbaugh....and he has nothing that came up like Timothy Geithner.........

Interesting question...perhaps the boat was moved in the middle of the night or covered up with Heinz Ketchup to hide it.....
