Maybe so, but the average citizen complains if the government snoops around his or her finances so why should he not be accorded the same privacy, it is not as though any information there will actually stop him being elected, there is plenty of other ammunition to shoot down that duck. As it is a privacy matter this is turning into the GoP's version of a "birth certificate" hunt.

 

I think it's more likely that it will show that he was with Bain Capital in some capacity after February 1999. His status at Bain is already questionable because he signed at least 6 documents filed with the SEC as the "reporting person" through 2001. Why does this matter? One, because someone is lying. Either his name was forged on those documents which would be a felony or he was involved with the management of Bain for an additional 2 years. Why would he lie? For one thing, in 1999 Bain invested $75 Million in a medical waste disposal firm called Stericycle. Stericycle has been attacked by anti-abortion groups because they disposed aborted fetuses from family planning clinics across the US. It would be difficult for Romney to argue that he is staunchly pro-life if his firm was profiting from the "baby killing" industry.

We already know from the sole tax return he has revealed - 2010 - that he took a $77K BUSINESS tax deduction for the care and feeding of Ann's horse, which she credits with her recovery from MS. Horses that are owned by businesses must show a profit for 2 out of 7 years in order to claim the expenses as tax deductions AND the owners must depend on the income. While it's not difficult to show $1 of profit during some years just by buying feed in bulk some years and not others and pre-paying certain expenses, it would be a stretch to say that the Romneys depended on that income. They wouldn't be able to claim it as a medical expense because it would have to amount to 7.5% of their adjusted gross income.

What other fishy deductions have the Romneys taken over the years? Why did they file an extension for 2011 so that there was no tax return to review before the election? The only tax information he's released for 2011 is an estimate. Why did Romney turn over 20 years worth of tax returns when he was being vetted to be vice-president by John McCain and he's not willing to release those same returns now? After seeing those returns, why did McCain still think Sarah Palin was "the better candidate"?

Mitt's father George was the first person running for president to release his tax returns (12 years worth) 40 years ago. Why does Mitt disagree with his father on this issue? Why are the letters between Mitt and his father noticeably absent from George's archives - 450 boxes of letters, clippings etc. that are kept at the University of Michigan. He had dozens of letters from his other children. There is only one from Mitt.

Why did Romney have his staff purchase and remove hard drives from the state owned computers used during his stint as governor of Massachusetts and have all e-mails from 2002 to 2006 scrubbed from the servers? These are usually kept as part of the state archives.

As for the IRS investigating the Romneys, how could that be done without bouncing back on Obama? Mitt essentially started his quest to be president when he didn't seek re-election as governor of Massachusetts in 2006. He wouldn't have been investigated while Bush was in office. He was a GOP golden boy.

 

So he is probably as crooked as Nixon, how does this matter when the reality of him getting elected his quite low, but if he as broken laws surely the appropriate agencies will investigate. Personally I would save the ammunition just in case he does get elected, then you can go after him big style.

 

His friends are NOT bill ayers, wright, nor van jones....................enough for me.................

Mitt 2012

Like anyone but a moonbat would give a damn about Romney's tax returns. Christ.

 

Captain,

For that past couple weeks I've been battling DistantLover, Baller, Stumbler and others. Trying to make the case that Obama is a pinko red diaper doper communist, and most likely an Indonesian citizen to boot. Your one picture says it better than I ever could. I am going to borrow it, but I'll give you credit for finding it.

 

No mystery, He has income and tax cuts he doesn't want to show. He promotes war with Iran and Syria but dodged Vietnam like a motherfucker (while my dad spent 7 years there by choice) and sure as hell won't let his boys fight the wars.
He has no interest in helping the economy with jobs only helping the stock market(whick I'll admit would make me money) but not nearly as much as it will him. I hate Obama but Romney needs to crawl in a hole and disapear.

 

I hope Mitt Romney can make it out of Israel without starting a war but I've got my doubts.

Romney: ‘Providence’ and culture make Israelis superior to Palestinians

And the OP isn't the only one seeing Romney as a mystery man. Bibi Netanyahu is also wondering who Mitt is and why he claims to be friends with him.

Bibi Netanyahu: No, Mitt Romney Isn't A Close Friend of Mine

Where did you find that gem, Stumbler?

Netanyahu and Romney worked together at Boston Consulting Group, for chrissakes. They attended B-school and graduated at roughly the same time (Bibi at MIT), and then they started their careers in the same company. They go back decades.

Well, the couples got along grandly at dinner last night, for virtual strangers.

I do not think anyone would go so far as to suggest that Romney has a chance at New York as a result of this trip (why waste hope on the impossible?), but it is not a stretch to suggest that he has picked up Florida.

President Obama has not visited Israel. When Netanyahu called on Washington, Obama stood him up for lunch and sent him out through the kitchens. The Jews will not forget it, and I really doubt they will all be in the tank for Barack this time around.

I have said I won't vote for Romney, and I mean it. But I must say I have been impressed with this tough talk these past two days. He hasn't lived down his blunders in London a few days ago, but he is definitely improving. People are finally seeing some evidence of bedrock principles, such as standing with one's allies.

 

There is a dirty rumor going around that Mormons are pacifists. Not true, but many do conscientiously object.

As for Romney in particular, it could be he was too busy making money.

But it is equally possible that he is one of the conscientious objectors. He is heavily active in the Mormon Church. Here in Massachusetts, the Mormon Church built a huge temple on a hilltop in Belmont (and riled the local Catholic diocese by erecting a steeple more than three times higher than the Catholic bell tower). Mitt and Ann Romney were such big donors to that construction project (some say upwards of $30 million) that the building could justifiably have been named after them.

So possibly Romney is simply a man of God.

 

Another view of the Temple that Romney Built.

 

Lets also remember that obama was involved with the apartment buildings that were not livable for dogs and they kept people in them.

Also the wookie michelle when she worked at the hospital she came up with the plan of dumping patients that were poor to other hospitals and they would only take the wealthy and highly insured.


Boy and I thought the democrats cared about the poor. Guess they really are just being used as their base.

What a candidate Romney is.

 

On a number of occasions I have stood alone against a lynch mob that flamed me because it could not refute my arguments. My arguments are fact based, and debatable. I welcome rational refutation. Insults reinforce my conviction of personal rectitude. I make an effort not to descend to the level of my detractors. I believe I usually succeed.

clarise, you are not presenting fact based and debatable points. You are engaging in silly name calling that only a fool could approve of. Because you refuse to behave respectfully, you do not deserve to be respected.

XNXX sometimes resembles a troubled high high school where the principal does not come to work, and where the hall monitors side with the bullies and juvenile delinquents. Nevertheless, in my comments I try to maintain the atmosphere of the OP ED page of a newspaper.

You clarise are contributing to the corruption of XNXX. The other corruptors cannot help themselves. They really are that poorly educated and vulgar. For a long time I expected more from you. That is why your recent behavior is disappointing.

Either something bad has happened to you - if I knew what it was I might be sympathetic - or you have decided to reveal what you have been all along.

 

sheesh... wait... ...better!

Honestly, DL: I am just bored!

If people visited my poetry and short stories threads at even 50% of the rate they visit my political flames, I wouldn't even be here.

So, thanks for the sympathy, but I do not need it. Not unless you want to pity me over how shitty my poetry is. In which case I will happily accept.

 

There ya go now you can move up from an overblown reactionary living in your own plastic bubble to a full fledged brainwashed parrot Clarise.

If Only President Obama Would Visit Israel As Often As Ronald Reagan Did
