It was the right decision.

I don't think there is a legal requirement to release any, but that's not the issue.

Obama cuts $710 B out of Medicare. Why aren't you upset about that?

The Romney/Ryan plan saves Medicare, and does not change it for those already receiving benefits. Those elegible after 2023 will have more options.

Just read through the plan this morning. I downloaded it over the weekend. It's in black-and-white. The Democrats are lying. But that's no surprise.

By the way, Rush Limbaugh (I'm listening as I type) thinks that Paul Ryan was the "best possible" pick. That's good news. If Rush likes him, I know the liberals are shaking in their boots.

Rush also reports "standing room only" crowds where ever Romney/Ryan have gone this weekend, and in Florida, they have had to turn people away. More good news.

The Republican Party has been energized!!!

Well just what is the issue that the Obama campaign is so hell bent on seeing tax returns ?
That they are wealthy ? That they made money ?

Don't you trust the IRS to do their job when people file returns ?

You've been diverted from Bain to now focus all your energy on tax returns.
Is that all you care about ?

You could be right about that.

Did Rep. Paul lyan enrich himself in 2008 with insider trading while the economy was going down in flames ? It was leagal at the time to trade on insider information before they made it illegal about a month ago.

Just wondering if that is one of the reasons that he is only releaseing 2 years. HMMMM........

I have a hunch though that Romney is and was far more THE problem that we, as a nation face, than anyone has admitted to so far.

One thing that we have done is not fall into the austerity trap that will likely collapse several European gov'ts before its all over. At least, we haven't so far. Hoover's ideas didn't work in the 1930s, they won't work today.
Wow, he's not even president and you're blaming Romney? Priceless!

When did people start caring so much about tax returns? I know when - when the media told you to! I don't know anybody who was sitting around at presidential election time, thinking "you know, I can't wait to see these guys tax returns before making my decision." That is something literally nobody thought of. nobody. Until the media started driving this narrative about Romney (started, by none other than Rick Perry of course, but the media certianly ran with it).
