Bwaahaa! Romney Demands Harry Reid To Prove It.
Listening to Hannity on the way home and mittwitt was a guest. Hannity played a clip of Reid saying Romney hasn't paid taxes over a 10 year period.
The mitster said it was a ridiculous lie and demanded Reid prove it. How crazy is that? He's sitting on the proof of the pudding. Why don't he prove Reid wrong? Embarass the hell out of the guy? I really think this fool thinks he can be president without showing his tax returns. Americans aren't THAT stupid are we?

That smug asshole has needed a 2x4 across the face for about 10 years now.
He shows what a big-talking chicke-shit he is when he was big-talking in support of waterboarding until Keith Olbermann offered to pay him a chunk of money if Hannity could even withstand waterboarding for a few seconds. Hannity shut up immediately. |

11. I hope Reid doesn't back off until he actually produces them. I think he's damned if does, and
|
damned if he doesn't. The mystery surrounding what's in those returns, and whether or not he got out of paying taxes for ten years, can only continue. It could be the reason he's upside down in his favorables. People think he's hiding something, and if that hurts him and the entire GOP field, more power to him.

Only one person can prove that Mitt Rmoney paid federal income taxes: Mitt Rmoney.
Without putting up the proof, he invites speculation ... let's all speculate away. I believe he didn't pay federal taxes and even got refunds. |

32. My guess is that Reid KNOWS that Mittens has

not paid any taxes, but cannot legally produce the proof. I mean hell, he is Senate Majority Leader and surely has access to quite a bit of information, just as I am sure the Obama administration knows Romney has paid no taxes and did not leave Bain until 2002.

37. Agree -- Reid knows something, and it looks like Romney knows it too
|
Sociopaths with a guilty conscience about something that they believe they've kept well-hidden are SURE to demand to face their accuser(s) if the dirty secret comes bubbling out. The goal is to find out who the source is, the better to exert all kinds of pressure and threat to shut down the source. My guess is that Romney knows "a few" people who might in fact be the source for this interesting rumor, and he is desparate to know which one is the culprit. Poor Romney. He's spent his entire life in a position to use his power and money to shut down people who tried to expose his lies. He even attained such a giant stature for a time that I'm sure just his presence and his name intimidated anyone from speaking the truth about Romney. Now it is a different game, and Romney just doesn't get it. He acts very much like a man who knows that his dirty secret has been exposed, and one who is desparate to put a cork in it.

|
He is so unbelievably unlikeable, even before we get to his politics and business practices, that there have to be people willing to dish the dirt. If not that, there is also a good possibility that Mittens himself will meltdown and have a tantrum and release unfortunate info from his own mouth.

|
...and people act like he's on a news program.
That's funny. Like Hannity is going to ask tough questions of the owner. He's not gonna show his taxes because it's gonna prove that he owns Hannity, Rush and Glen Beck. He's not paying taxes because he's losing his ass owning these over-paid blow-hards just to forward his presidential bid. |

Could it be possible that some Republicans are providing this information to Reid in order to have Romney's nomination rejected or force him out of the race? No one likes him inside or outside the party.
