He had Bain Capital funds set up offshore. LiberalFighter Aug 2012 #11
He may not have hid it from the IRS, just from his church CreekDog Aug 2012 #38
The odds favor this as Bain leans toward LDS HereSince1628 Aug 2012 #8

How do we know he's not politically popular with the church? dmr Aug 2012 #19
uummmmmmm Cause he ain't a Republican?? kooljerk666 Aug 2012 #22
Harry and Mitt are both Temple Mormons, the inner circle, secretive elites who those temples are braddy Aug 2012 #29
While I dispute your 85% figure customerserviceguy Aug 2012 #49
It is that hard to become a Temple Mormon elite, for one it REQUIRES that 10% of your income goes to braddy Aug 2012 #55
I didn't say it wasn't difficult customerserviceguy Aug 2012 #70
Do you have a point to make, and facts to submit? Or is this just Mormon stuff? braddy Aug 2012 #71
I'm not a Mormon customerserviceguy Aug 2012 #74

I have heard some things that Mormonism may take a hit from Romney agentS Aug 2012 #24
That is my take, as well. cr8tvlde Aug 2012 #25
The Holy Mormon Prophet gave his approval for Mitt's presidential run in a private meeting in 2005. braddy Aug 2012 #27

I posted this " Romney sought & recieved approval from the Holy Prophet in 2005 to run for President braddy Aug 2012 #63
Thanks for the clarification BSUbluNorange Aug 2012 #65
It wasn't clarification, it was proving the statement that Romney sought and recieved the permission braddy Aug 2012 #66
Did he need permission? BSUbluNorange Aug 2012 #67
Evidently Bishop Romney did, the Romneys are Mormon Royalty, all things comply with the Prophet. braddy Aug 2012 #68
Nothing could be further from the truth customerserviceguy Aug 2012 #50
There are actually 400,000 mormons voting for Obama. BSUbluNorange Aug 2012 #57

'Doctoring' tax returns is a felony. ancianita Aug 2012 #40
Another take I read yesterday was that Reid had nothing at stake. He is upside down Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2012 #43
