Repubs: Would you Sign a Pledge NOT to vote for Romney unless he releases...[W:185]

Re: Repubs: Would you Sign a Pledge NOT to vote for Romney unless he releases his tax

i'm not a Romney supporter, and i'm not voting for him due to his trickle down nonsense and hawkish worldview.

however, i have to ask : even if he released his tax returns back to age 18, would you vote for him? given your user name, my guess is no.


Scroll down and you will see you are correct. The OP is just an anti-Romney attack.
 
Re: Repubs: Would you Sign a Pledge NOT to vote for Romney unless he releases his tax

I am not a republican but I would not sign this. Romneys tax records mean about as much to me as Obama's college record. (for the record there are few things in life i care about less than obama's college record)

What I care about is our presidents ability to lead our nation. Not idiotic things like this.

Re: Repubs: Would you Sign a Pledge NOT to vote for Romney unless he releases his tax

I cannot even consider voting for him until he shows the American people some simple common respect by allowing us to have access to the information that is needed in order for us to best make our choice.

If you agree let me know and I will organize to have a petition created in order to do such!

The time to come clean is NOW!!!


For me the tax returns are more about having a very important conversation about the tax code-- so that middle and working class people can better understand how the upper tax bracket works, and how they are able to pay a smaller percentage than the rest of us.

Also, I think it would be helpful to calculate how much Romney would have paid under Ryan's purposed 2010 tax reform and his current 10/25 plan. Though the current plan has no specifics on eliminating deductions, loopholes, and other tax avoidance tools, so we should assume that most will still be in place.

LOL, come on hazel, no one believes that. you want the tax records so the discussion can focus on minor details in romney's returns and away from obama's horrible record and his questionable past.

You want the media to talk about line 23 on page 82 of romney's 2006 tax return rather than on 4 years of high unemployment, tripled national debt, and 4 years of 1 trillion plus deficits.

Its obvious what you lefties are trying to do, and you are disengenuous in not admitting it.

Well, I'm not a Republican so I'm not sure my answer to your thread's question is of any importance to you...but I'm gonna give it anyway.

No. I won't sign your pledge for the following reasons:

1. I have plenty of information with which to make my choice. I have information about Romney's record of public and private service and I have information about Obama's record of public and private service. I don't need anything else.
2. When it comes right down to it, the remedies to our nation's problems won't depend on Romney...except insofar as he has an "R" behind his name. The solutions will come from Congress and he will not veto them. That's enough for me.
3. Now, this one is probably the most important reason for not signing your "pledge". You are a taxer...plain and simple. I don't abide by your type. Take your conspiracies and wallow in the mud with them, but don't ask me to slop around with you.

No

Re: Repubs: Would you Sign a Pledge NOT to vote for Romney unless he releases his tax

"More than two thirds of Independents (67%) want Mitt Romney to release more tax returns."

63% of Americans Demand That Mitt Romney Release His Tax Returns

Which is someone politically irrelevant unless it's the issue that will singularly cause them not to vote for him.

It's also politically useless without some kind of metric to determine what the likely damage of providing the Democrats with multi-years worth of tools to Bash Romney continually with to compare the two.
 
Re: Repubs: Would you Sign a Pledge NOT to vote for Romney unless he releases his tax

What does "Cons again Romney" mean? And why do you have your lean as conservative?

It stands for Conservatives Against Romney. Flip flopping RINO Romney is NOT a COnservative. I have pointed out the actions he took as Governor of Mass that reveal that. And I have shown the policies he has proposed if he were elected POTUS that further demonstate that he is NOT a Conservative. I could repeat those for you if you would like.

"More than two thirds of Independents (67%) want Mitt Romney to release more tax returns."

63% of Americans Demand That Mitt Romney Release His Tax Returns

And there's your CLUE!
;)

I think not. Romney has already been a million times more transparent than the incumbent.

If you consider being a flip flopper whos stance on issues changes with "whatever is most politically expedient at the time" as being transparent, then yeah, I guess he has...

Which is someone politically irrelevant unless it's the issue that will singularly cause them not to vote for him.

The singular issue that this tax record scandal is intertwined to is RINO ROmney's character - or lack there of. Is RINO trustworthy? Does he respect or even CARE about the AMerican people? Is he ethical? Or does he base his business decisons on loopholes and "what he can get away with"? These are questions that the AMerican people are asking themselves during this vetting process of presumptive Republican nominee. ROmney's tax returns would go along way in answering these questions and the fact that he refuses to give the AMerican people the information we NEED to come to these answers does NOT bode well for his character.

So essentially "He should release them because I believe they'd be politically advantageous to my side"

Well, I will thank you for being one of the first inherently honest people on your side I've seen stating the reason they want to see it released. This is far better than "BECAUSE IT'S PATRIOTIC!" or "because it's the rules" (its not) or "because it's tradition" (Yet they had no issue yelling about tradition last election cycle) or "Because the people have a RIGHT to know" (no, they don't). I can appreciate an honest response such as yours..."Because it'll help us attack his politics".

I take it that you are going to vote for Obama now?
Well now it's out of the question. According to the birth certificate you posted, he was born in Kenya!

Democrats: Would you Sign a Pledge NOT to vote for Obama unless he releases his real birth certificate
?

did it already.

So if he released his tax returns you still wouldn't vote for him since you see him as a "flip flopping RINO" who is "NOT a Conservative".

Unless of course you're being a flip flopper whose doing what is expedient to your current political desire, ie seeing his tax returns released, by suggesting you'd vote for him if he released it only to likely flip flop again into not voting for him for all the reasons you were not voting for him BEFORE this tax return thing hit.

Congratulations...you're this issues version of Mitt Romney.

Not only is he a flip flopper and not only is he NOT a Conservative but to add insult to injury Romney has shown time and time again that he does not care about the American people. He only cares about Corporations. And no, I do not believe Corporations are People!!!

No. I'm voting Romney/Ryan and I live in a swing state.

And yet you try to use this thread to give the impression that despite that...if he'd release his tax returns you WOULD vote for him

Otherwise, what good does your pledge do? "I pledge I won't vote for you if you don't release your tax returns! And if you do release your tax returns, I won't vote for you!"

Your post does not deny that Romney is not a Conservative.
Your post does not deny that Romney is a flip flopper.
Your post does not deny that ROmney does not care about the American people.

Look, you can make accusations about me all day long, but guess what? I'm not running for POTUS. Romney is, and that is what this thread is about. ROmney - NOT ME.

I will reply to post that deal with thread topics and pertinent information. I will not reply to post that are personal accusations about me. Got it?
Good. Let's proceed by talking politics then, shall we?

He made a good point. you are being dishonest in your presentation of this "pledge"

did it already.

I should have put the sarcasm next to that post seeing how some people missed the point of that post.

You can give up the crusade, we get it. You're either a frustrated libertarian or a masquerading Obamabot. In the slim chance you're the former - give it up, Paul already made his delegate deal with the republicans. The is no last minute act, all you're achieving is being another stump for Obama.

Obot all the way
 
Re: Repubs: Would you Sign a Pledge NOT to vote for Romney unless he releases his tax

^ Please point out where "demand" is in that story?

Demand is not in the quote I provided - "More than two thirds of Independents (67%) want Mitt Romney to release more tax returns."

Right, its irrelevant that Romney has thumbed his nose at seniors, women, hispanics, the middle class, the poor, and now independents. I'm sure it will all pay off for him in November.

Be sure to say hi to the Tinman and Toto while you're hanging out with your strawman.

I wasn't talking about seniors, women, hispanics, etc. I was talking specifically in terms of the group known as "those who think he should release his tax returns".
