TAX RETURNS!! Mitt Romney FLEES To London But CAN'T Escape Questions About His TAX RETURNS

[Segami]

We Will NEVER STOP Asking YOU For YOUR TAX RETURNS!! This Demand will continue DAILY up until election day or when you decide to release them. Do you understand this Mitt, or would you like this spelled out clearly in pure Anglo-Saxon script?



"..Romney’s European vacation was supposed to get the tax returns and Bain heat off of him, but even in London, the Republican nominee is greeted with one question. When are you going to release more tax returns?

BRIAN WILLIAMS:

On to another topic– and that is your taxes. Can you say that your decision is firm that you’ll not do a walk-back between now and the convention, now and the fall election? That there will be no returns– more returns released by Mitt Romney?


MITT ROMNEY:

I’m following the same precedent that was put in place by John McCain. Two years, and by the way, hundreds of pages (LAUGH) of returns for the Democrat operatives to go through and twist and distort and to turn in different directions and try and make a big deal out of. But, you know, the American people are not real concerned about tax returns. They’re concerned about who can get this economy going and create good jobs again. And I can. The president hasn’t been able to do the job as he had expected to do. And I know how to get it done.


BRIAN WILLIAMS:

But you know– also know what happens in the real world, governor. People hear, “He’s not gonna release the rest of his returns,” and they wonder why. They wonder, “Is there a year there where he paid no taxes?” They wonder about expensive horses and houses and what have you. So I’ll ask another way. What is it that is preventing you from releasing the rest of your returns?


MITT ROMNEY:

Well one, I’ve released all the information about my financial holdings. That’s required by law. And then in addition beyond the law, have released, or will finally release act– when the last year is complete, two years of full returns. And what we’ve noted is our Democrat friends, take what’s there, twist it, distort it– dishonestly use it in– in attack ads. I just don’t wanna give ‘em more material than is required.

The Romney campaign thought that by going overseas they could flip the narrative, and let Romney try on the Commander in Chief role. Instead, the media continues to ask Romney and his campaign the one question that they definitely do not want to answer. When are you going to release more tax returns? Mitt Romney keeps answering that he will never release more tax returns, which only causes the media to ask again, when are you going to release more tax returns.


Mitt Romney doesn’t seem to grasp the fact that running for president is not the same as being a CEO. As a CEO, Romney had the power to issue answers that were proclamations to his employees. He is now finding out that on the campaign trail he is the potential employee, and the people conducting the job interview expect answers to their questions.


Let’s be honest, the Romney campaign thought they were going to get a breather from the questions about Bain and tax returns. Their problem is that since their candidate stands for nothing, they have nothing to talk about. Romney isn’t going to Europe and then Israel to outline his foreign policy vision. He is going there to bash Obama surrounded by some neat vacation scenery.

1. Too funny, and so true

LMAO. Good job with the smilies!

[Segami]

2. Romney is trying to fly under the tax return radar using headline grabbing distractions

as an attempt to control the news cycle. His strategy is to sit on the tax returns and cruise to the Republican Convention straight to election day.

9. Correction: RMoney is not on vacation. He is traveling.

He doesn't work so he cannot possibly be on vacation.

[StrictlyRockers]

10. Great thread!! n/t

[gopiscrap]

11. We need to keep the pressure not only on Willard

but on the MSM to keep the pressure on Willard!!!!!!

14. Demands for Romney's tax returns is the one single issue that could take Romney down.

It will be of his own doing since he established the non-release terms. Romney's unwillingness to show his tax returns has exposed himself to voters of all sides as to what kind of OPEN government we can expect from a Romney Presidency.

NONE! None at all. As a matter of fact, Romney will take behind-closed-doors secrecy beyond anything we have seen before including ERASING government data banks and email correspondence evidence along the way. Its his MO. He has already performed such actions as Governor and CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympics.

The TAX RETURNS issue needs to be front and center everyday.

[RedCappedBandit]

12. So he doesn't want to give us material with which we can attack him

LOL

How's that working, Mitt?

[TeamPooka]

13. I can see the cartoons on his return...

One of those fancy livery drivers waiting with his name on a placard but the driver is labeled BAIN Issues or Unreleased Tax returns.
OR
Mitt with his Olympic horse at a cab stand and a porter says "welcome back sir which cab would you like to take back to the election?"
Each cab is labeled Bain Issues, Tax returns, Outsourcing, Offshore accounts etc.
It's a long line of cabs, Mitt looks uncomfortable with his choices.

15. How much tax did you pay, Mitt?

I wonder how you would write that in old pre-Norman conquest Anglo-Saxon English. It probably would be impossible for modern English speakers to read and understand.

[Segami]

17. It might also be that Romney participated in the 2009 IRS Tax Amnesty Program for tax cheats.

Or maybe some portion of his tax returns expose one of his sons to other financial deals.

We need to keep demanding that he show his TAX RETURNS!

[Ganja Ninja]

16. I want to hear someone ask him why he doesn't keep his money in London's Banks.

That should be good for some laughs.

[napkinz]

18. Don't worry, help has arrived!

or maybe that should be "yelp has arrived"
