Pic Of The Moment: Think About It

Did Mitt Romney do it?

He hasn't denied it.

Why?

Is he running on a platform that includes fixing the economy by cracking down on auto break-ins and shoe theft?

When did he stop beating his wife?

Hate it. It's like Fox News prepared it.

Silly comparison

I'm all for that question. It is a fair one.

It's the speculation I don't like. I suppose it's only natural... I mean I'm doing it. But there's no need to make something up. The fact Rmoney thinks he needs to hide his tax returns is really all one NEEDS to know.

That's why.

including George Romney. And he's released it before to McCain. What is the issue now?

It is a confidential document filed between an individual and the IRS.

I wasn't trying to defend Romney, I was trying to make a statement as the repukes would answer it, but you can't say false things like "it's a public document" and not get a response.

The point is that Presidential candidates have been providing these documents for scrutiny for decades now. A precedent has been set. The general public expects to be able see this information. Even if it is not a specific requirement.

The fact that Romney refuses to be forthcoming w/this info has got to make people (even repukes) wonder what he is trying to hide.

A precedent has been set. Was that back when votes counted more than money?

No law saying he has to release the papers. No law says we have to vote for him.

Whatever McCain saw in those things made him say "Fuck that bastard" and pick PALIN instead!!!!

Sooo - somebody needs to get McCains camp to "leak" the information to the public.

In this economy, they figure they can get away with all kinds of things because people what the job. For example:

I like this, of the seven questions listed how about yes or no on each item or what?

So what is the prize we all can win for doing this perhaps a Mitt and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir rendition of Gold Bless America?

that behind every great fortune there lies a great crime. In Willard's case it might be several. It would be a great pleasure for me to see the campaign of this arrogant, corrupt, and greedy POS implode.

Federal Way here!

but still being paid as if he was running it?

Funny how he keeps leaving that easy little piece of information out. If it wasn't you, then give us the name of the person who WAS running it.

and why hasn't anyone in the MSM asked him that question instead of letting him leave it at "I left the company in 1999 to run the olympics"?

scum, he is!

And I'd bet that reason looks nothing like its face value.

Some say he keeps that pitifully tiny company around because it is a front for the hookers, slaves, and drug business that supply repig big wigs 24x7.

not worth much on it's own, but over the years a very profitable conduit for directing certain high yield products

Because he doesn't want to go to prison.

She said something to the effect, "I don't pay taxes, other people pay taxes."

I found it in Wikiquotes. They cite the New York Times and Newsweek as their sources. Her Federal Bureau of Prisons number came from Wikipedia. (I loves the wikis.)

Because he's a crook, that's why?

That would ensure Obama's reelection, and perhaps start a slew of arrests of rethug millionaires and billionaires.

QUESTION: When would be the best time to actually arrest the bastard?

We all know he will never be arrested, never be charged, and will live out his life with other criminals like Cheney and Rove in the lap of luxury.

But...IF some series of flukes occurred where some underling investigator, who wasn't in on the game, accidentally filed an irreversible charge and by some other fluke a rare journalist with integrity working for MSM let the cat out of the bag...

When to arrest him?
It would have to be a couple of days before the election. Hell, maybe even after, as I think Obama has it anyways. If the GOP had a couple of months or more they'd ride Jeb Bush or Chris Christie in on a white stallion. A lot of Freepers would be cheering like it was the second coming.

Let's go viral, baby!

his returns to John McCain, John McCain went with Palin! There must be something really bad in there for him to choose that loon over Romney!

Mitt Romney received a HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION on his Utah home while he was running those Olympics and the fact was brought up when he was trying to claim he was a Massachusetts resident. Now, as we all know, you can only get one of those if you are a RESIDENT of a state (I pay a few hundred on a shack I have in rural Maine, that would only cost me fifteen bucks or so if I lived there instead of vacationed there).

There was an ENORMOUS stink made at the time--the whole "carpetbagger" and "bullshitter" and "out of state asshole" charges were flying around....and at the time, Mittsy wasn't sure if he was gonna run for governor of Utah or MA. If I recall, a court ruled on Mittsy's residency and they ruled in his favor--so he went out of his way to "prove" that he was a Massachusettsian. Why is he trying to pretend otherwise, now?

This is not a secret, but it is one of those things that is kind of buried in the mists of time. The Globe Spotlight people reported on it--it got a lot of play when it was revealed...to the point that Mittsy made public statements blaming unnamed accountants and he paid the full amount of taxes and maybe even a penalty fee.

I think that a review of public records with regard to Mittsy's residences might be revealing...but what this incident points out is that the guy will lie and flip-flop with sociopathic abandon, and he is one cheap asshole, that a man as wealthy as he is can't even cough up the lousy full freight for his property taxes.

I see the Globe is revisiting this, despite it getting scant attention, but it just shows that this guy will say ANYTHING to gain advantage: http://articles.boston.com/2012-07-13/opinion/32646257_1_tax-returns-mitt-romney-income-taxes

@maddowblog, @lawrence (only two I know).

Digging his own grave.

And let's see if Mitt will accept it.

I think it is HILARIOUS and a bit of justice that the right-wing's smear template against President Obama ala the birthers, is being used against the GOP's #1.

Don't take this as a criticism. While the birthers' efforts over the past 4 years have returned nothing but a few misquoted statements and some blatant forgery hoaxes, Romney Bain issue is bringing up pay dirt because the vetting of Romney is making the right-wingers desperate as they realize that they have been snookered by their corporate masters.

The chickens are coming home to roost, and they are pooping all over the heads of Romney supporters and not-so-supporters everywhere.

Lol.

It was in the first hour of his show, and read it, and gave credit to Democratic Underground..
Yes..I heard it on the radio...

A lot of people are trading pdfs and ppts.

That is the only reason why he is not releasing them.

McCain who saw his tax returns has yet to come to his defense.

truth, 'cause it ain't gonna set your lying ass free, oh no...but the truth, like cream will rise and be seen by all (I can hardly wait). Oh, when Bad things happen to Bad People...Should be rich.
