It's a winner. Romney's not very likable to begin with. Pointing out that he pays low taxes only adds to that.

Too bad we don't have the proof to nail his hide to the wall!

I mean it's a rather obvious question that should be asked.

Make Romney go on record about the Amnesty program. If he lies about it, some whistle-blower will come forward.

We will know instantly whether he claimed amnesty. If he did the amnesty, we will hear that robotic laugh of his.

It's like the elephant in the room no one is allowed to talk about. Why are they covering for him?

Start playing this ad in Missouri, Arizona, Tennessee, South Carolina, Indiana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Georgia and Montana and some red states will possibly turn pink or even light blue.

Mitt slammed 47 percent of the population on taxes (which was a wrong estimation) while he hides his own tax returns.

As soon as I saw the clandestinely recorded Romney dissing the 47% as paying no taxes, I knew that I wasn't smarter than OFA and if I picked on up it that they had to also.

He's very comfortable talking to those rich leechers about the taxes us proles "don't pay" while they are doing everything they can to pay as little in taxes as possible.

The nerve.
