    I don't think they should be forced to release them.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    Yeah.'
    I mean, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison ... NONE of these guys released their tax records ! ! !

    My guess is he doesn't want to piss off the Mormon Establishment by releasing records that show he failed to meet his tithing obligation.

    it would also likely piss off alot of people when they see how well his accountants have shielded him from paying what he should.

    I'be interested to see the returns of those years he was an "on paper only" ceo of bain.

    Hahaha, when taking a shot at someone, expect them to shoot back. I asked you where the the article was so I could read it...silly me. I should take whatever you type as gospel, even though I'm not a christian.

    Not to mention, love this... "i would not have posted that i read it if i hadn't read it." then "i misspoke." Apparently you would.

    It gets really tiresome around here when people post something, especially a quote and then tell you to go to google for THEIR sources. jeez.
    i can't do your research for you. i am typing on here in between seeing patients and i type in a hurry. i don't have time to sit here and look up every article i read. i alluded to it soo people could look for it if they wanted to. i can not be on call to try to track down some source for you. you don't believe me and question what i am saying, look it up and call bullshit on me. it is that easy.

    and yes i misspoke. it was an honest mistake. i read so many articles in a day that i got it confused with a different article that said he might not have paid any taxes in at least one year and his campaign staff were trying to excuse it if he had not paid them. i corrected my mistake, and i was referring to people at bain instead of staffers, so whatever man...

    when you have nothing to contribute you attack people. i would find THAT tiresome if it was not so predictable and funny :lol::lol:

    My research? You posted a QUOTE, I asked for the article you said you got it from. You told me to use google. How the hell am I suppose to guess which article YOU read?

    there's got to be some bad shit in there beyond all the offshore account bs.

    i am guessing it will come down to:

    1. 0 taxes paid in 1 or more years
    2. he was part of the swiss bank account amnesty program

    if he's caught w/either of these, he's toast politically.

    when the gop heavyweights are taking shots, there's a problem. :nono: :nono: :nono:

    GO DONALD!

    All Mitt needs to do is show up to the first debate with the last 20 years of his tax returns in a box… When it comes up he offers to hand them over as soon as Obama hands over his college transcripts, applications to college, passport info, social security info… etc…

    http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/07 ... t-records/

    As the Obama campaign and the media continue to press Mitt Romney to release more of his tax returns, and to suggest--without a shred of evidence--that he is a “felon,” it is worth noting how much critical information Barack Obama has withheld from view--both as a candidate in 2008, and during his term in office. Here is a Breitbart News top ten list of things that Obama has refused to release (a complete list would fill volumes):
    10. State senate papers. In the 2008 primary, Obama criticized Hillary Clinton for not releasing papers from her eight years time as First Lady--but failed to produce any papers from his eight years in Springfield. “They could have been thrown out,” he said.

    9. Academic transcripts. His supposed academic brilliance was a major selling point, but Obama (by his own admission) was a mediocre student. His GPA at Occidental was aB-plus at best, and his entering class at Columbia was weak. Can he prove his merit?

    8. Book proposal. Obama’s literary agent claimed he was “born in Kenya”--for sixteen years. His original book proposal exists--biographer David Maraniss refers to it--and seems to have embellished other key details of his life. Yet it has never been released.

    7. Medical records. In 2000, and again (briefly) in 2008, GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain released thousands of pages of his medical records. Obama, who had abused drugs and continued smoking, merely provided a one-page doctor’s note.

    6. Small-dollar donors. In 2008, the McCain campaign released the names of donors who had contributed less than $200, though it was not required to do so. But the Obama campaign refused, amidst accusations it had accepted illegal foreign contributions.

    5. The Khalidi tape. In 2003, Obama attended a party for his good friend, the radical Palestinian academic Rashid Khalidi. The event featured incendiary anti-Israel rhetoric. The LA Times broke the story, but has refused to release the tape--and so has Obama.

    4. The real White House guest list. Touting its transparency, the Obama White House released its guest logs--but kept many visits secret, and moved meetings with lobbyistsoff-site. It also refused to confirm the identities of visitors like Bertha Lewis of ACORN.

    3. Countless FOIA requests. The Obama administration has been described as “the worst” ever in complying with Freedom of Information Act requests for documents. It has also punished whistleblowers like David Walpin, who exposed cronyism in Americorps.

    2. Health reform negotiations. Candidate Obama promised that health care reform negotiations would be televised on C-SPAN. Instead, there were back-room deals woth millions with lobbyists and legislators--the details of which are only beginning to emerge.

    1. Fast and Furious documents. After months of stonewalling Congress, Attorney General Eric Holder asked President Obama to use executive privilege to conceal thousands of documents related to the deadly scandal--and Obama did just that.

    In addition to the above, Obama and his campaign have lied about many facts about his past--his membership in the New Party; his extensive connections with ACORN; and his continued relationship with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, among other examples. Obama’s own memoir is filled with fabrications. And now he is lying about his opponent’s honorable record in business. He--and the media--have no shame.

    Yes.
    I have been having a hard time performing identity theft on obama.
    if he would just post the originals of his SS card, passport, and mortgage documents online,
    it would help with this.

    Funny on the radio in the car....
    Romney attacks Obama on a number of issues, all pretty much founded.

    Obama camp reply...
    "Romney will say anything" :?

    say what? ...
    thats all you got ... weak but worth a chuckle

    so was the 1600 turtles that escaped from the turtle farm and are missing...

    DJ says "hmmm they are turtles
    how far can they get?" :lol:

    I found the turtle story more newsworthy than this campaign.
