So... they KNEW about requirements for voting in MA and intentionally flaunted that law, right? if the Romney's Federal Tax Returns show their primary residence as OTHER than Massachusetts...?
Romney not only sold his family home in Belmont, Mass., but he bought a house -- for $12 million -- in the northern San Diego community of La Jolla. He traded a snowy commute for early morning beach strolls amid the dog walkers. And he's become a familiar face at California political events, addressing the state Republican convention last month and campaigning on behalf of his former Bain Capital protege, Meg Whitman, a candidate for governor....
Romney and his wife, Ann, sold the 6,500-square-foot Massachusetts colonial where they raised their five sons, fetching $3.5 million. They also unloaded a 9,500-square-foot family retreat at the Deer Valley ski resort in Utah for close to its $5.25 million asking price....
They still do not own a property in Massachusetts, forcing them to claim temporary residence at a basement apartment in the Belmont home owned by their eldest son, Tagg. It's the address Romney used to vote in Republican Scott Brown's recent victorious Senate special election race, all legal with town officials.
Spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said the Romneys are buying their own home in Belmont, but a March closing was pushed back to June because of "contractor delays." That has put forced the Romneys to watch the number of days they spend in California, ensuring they do not raise questions about their primary residency for tax, voting or other legal purposes.

He's hiding voter fraud- he lived in CA when he voted in Scott Browns election.

I have come to the conclusion he is hiding something. I don't care that he is rich.

Mitt, is that adjusted back payments after you took the tax amnesty for those Swiss accounts?

It's hard for me to believe Reid does not know what's being hidden by RMoney from the public...

Until Mitt Romney releases his tax returns, Americans MUST continue to wonder what he's hiding.

You're right they're neck talking. He can't forge returns and the IRS is bound by confidentiality.

Whenever Romney says, "just trust me", I think of his "Corporations are people, my friend" comment.

When is somebody going to ask Romney directly whether or not he used the amnesty program?

I hope so, but it can't wait for the last week. Romney will stall it for 4 weeks once it is raised.

Most media outlets that Romney 'accepts' to give 'access' are owned by right-wing
