That's the thing - I really don't think he does because if he did, he would have just released the returns by now. The issue is being blown up beyond what it should have been, and Romney could end it right now, but refuses to. So... I dunno. I just seems like such a stupid thing to die on, but honestly, Romney doesn't look too bright.

Some speculation out there is that somebody in the McCain camp gave said info to Reid.

Obviously.

That was the issue. Tax returns. Nothing else. Your statement was all inclusive - mine wasn't.

Must be hot having the corona so close to your brain. Wait a minute... nevermind.

I see that your partisan blindness has yet to be treated.

How does it look when a sitting President fills his cabinet (including the head of the IRS) with people that ACTUALLY cheated on their taxes?

But we won't see a peep about that from you... Nope... Obama can do no wrong, and Romney is guilty as charged despite the lack of any evidence whatsoever.

You know, that's pretty pathetic.

Should we discuss Harry Reids land deals in Nevada that made him wealthy on YOUR dime?

Anything to divert attention from the real mess we are currently in a dying going no where, negative, in the toilet flusing away economy.

I have a family memember who is a CPA ACCOUNTANT for some high profile people. He tells me, if Romeny did not pay his taxes for 10 yrs as Reid says, they would be knocking at his door. He tells me the IRS is all over this stuff now, and getting stricter.

I think Reid should shut up, and enjoy his retirement, i wish soon.

Not like the democrats don't like people with money, when it comes to donating to them.

His choice in not showing them has made them an easy target because it is the unknown.

You do realize the Republicans use the same tactic often and are very successful with it.

I know you hate, hate, hate the Democrats but they are doing nothing different than your Republicans have done in the past because it is proven to work. If you don't believe me, which I know you don't, I will be happy to remind you about this tactic after the election when you are looking at four more years of Obama.

This happens all the time on both sides, you act like this is something new that you have never seen before.
Damn, it's worse than I thought. I didn't think that was possible.

haha, clearly you haven't been paying attention, this is politics, no one cares about that, it is the unknown of Romney's taxes that is the issue that they are picking at because they can. I have never fully trusted any sitting president with their choices for cabinet because I have yet to see a fully honest politician because they don't really exist...but if I have to choose between two dishonest politicians, I am gonna pick my guy, just like you are gonna pick your guy, am I right?

You also left out part. He was referring to those in the context of downplaying people's success - he mocked the notion that they were successful because they were smart and worked hard and pointed to the role of teachers roads etc. In full context, he was in fact arguing that people did not build their businesses based on hard work and smart choices. However, his argument is flawed because he didn't explain how to distinguish those with successful businesses from those that are unemployed but drive on the same roads and had similar teachers.
