He is spinning his wheels trying to get the attention off of him. Before it was you couldn't talk about Bain, or his record as governor. But now the attention is being drawn off Mitt. Mitt wants to talk about Obama's record, but hey, don't talk about Mitt.

The Confederate armies actually had many generals of the last name Jackson, so many that Jefferson Davis couldn't keep them straight. Most of them, like Alfred E. Jackson (no joke, you Mad fans), were pretty bad generals by comparison to Thomas J., the "real" Stonewall. (Stonewall himself noted that the nickname was actually applied to his troops by the dying General Barnard Bee, not himself, and that seems to be partly why he tolerated the nickname when he otherwise frowned on frivolity.)

So a number of the Generals Jackson seem to have earned the derisive nickname "Mudwall," enough so that determining which general was "Mudwall" is difficult.

Porter Alexander noted that after Alfred E. finally managed to win a battle (thanks to vigorous prodding from his more able subordinates), his troops promoted him to "Brickwall."

I'm pretty sure that we're going to see Stonewall Romney demoted to Mudwall Romney, and once the leaks start flowing, the dyke is going to fail and wash his chances of winning this thing straight away.

Am I the only one who has noticed that John McCain - who has seen Mitts tax returns during the VP search - is quiet on this issue. One would think he would he would call Harry Reid on the carpet if Reid was wrong....

At this point, I think there really are crimes hidden in his returns. Maybe he had to pay fines a couple of years for trying to game the tax system. Some of these rich guys figure they aren't pushing hard enough if they don't have to pay fines once in a while.

32. THE WORSE STUFF

Mitty does't want us to know about his whole lineup of healthcare entities.Medicare and Medicaid, and yes England's NHS are the buyer sof these "worse stuff."Romneys millions are largely from government's buying of Mitty products.Goggle the healthcare stable of Bain worse stuff,and vizualize the $$$$$$ in the foreign bank accounts.Williard is a healthcare robber baron.That is the worse stuff.

Some of the worse stuff Mitty does not want us people to know about is the sale of AMC,the second largest theater chain in America to Daliwan Wanda Group, a Chinese investment group.The 2.6 Billion Dollar deal involved Bain Capital,which Romney has to pay taxes on.See the downloadable tax return of Willard.China now owns the largest chain of movie houses in the world.Vizualize that , please.One of these shows is right near the famous cinema in Colorado where the shooings took place.

If it's not true it can not be "inaccurate!"
That's like the troll who misunderstood (he was just palin - not a typo - stupid) "paying" and "filing."
He may have filed and STILL not paid anything.

"allegation I paid no taxes are untrue"

Well, yes, if he purchased a candy bar in America he paid some sales tax.

The real question is "Did Romney pay no federal income taxes for one or more years"?
