The republicans had the Birthers, the Democrats are now going to have the Taxers

yeah and what was really funny was when everyone saw bush had slightly better grades than Kerry-and a higher score on the military IQ test too

And a much higher score on the chickenhawk/AWOL test....
 
O's refusal to make public his college transcripts has never bothered the media.

Why would it? I don't think any presidential candidate has released college transcripts. It would look pretty silly to do so as it is pretty unorthodox for some one to ever show his college transcript except to a graduate school or first employer. Why not ask your Doctor to see his college transcript? Tell us what he says.

It is usual and customary for POTUS candidates to release their tax returns. Romney is pretty much snubbing that tradition. He does not have to do so, but if he would rather face the wrath of those that feel jilted by this than fully disclose, then more power to him. Good luck with that one, though. I really doubt he gets away with this, and failure to get away with it just makes him look bad.

Taxes are not irrelevant, since there is a long history of candidates publishing these returns. And refusing to disclose tax returns, especially for a very wealthy man, only hurts his case as it is seen as if he has something to hide.

I'm not saying that refusing to release them isn't a bad move, PR wise. I just think the whole tradition is stupid. It is is none of my business. If the IRS said he had broken the law in regards to his taxes, that would be different. I do think a candidate's criminal record is our business.

The IRS doesn't audit every return.

What was really funny was when every saw bush's failed presidency where he took us to two failed wars, skyrocketing deficits, housing market collapse, and high unemployment. Actually its not funny. It's sad for the american people. We are stilling paying for the consequences of his failed presidency. That's what happens when the SCOTUS appoints their guy instead of letting the guy that the people wanted.

He has broken laws. If govt wanted to put him in jail for it they would. That's how they got Capone. They couldn't get him for anything else so they just got him for tax evasion.

If military service matters to you I suspect you voted for war hero McCain over never served Obama and 6 deferments Biden?

Oh you voted for Obama-then your silly little rant is not only stupid but it demonstrates you engage in massive hypocrisy

IF lying on this board was a crime, you'd been hanged months ago. from your idiotic birther nonsense about Romney to this crap

Don't get mad at me because romney hasn't proved he is an american. He is probably the most dishonest person to ever run for the presidency so its not surprising that he doesn't want people to know where he was born.

this has to be the most idiotic argument on this board. Its apparently a beat the dead horse low wattage retaliation against those who wanted to know where Obama was born. Your stupid schtick hasn't been worthwhile 2 minutes after you started this crap.

You know this, how?
Were there any real evidence that Romney had broken laws, the Democrats would have shouted it from the rooftops by now. As it is, the tax return and Bain questions are simply diversions from the real issues, a way to convince voters to vote for Obama. It is not a lot different from the stupid "birther" nonsense and accusing Obama of being a secret Muslim. It's all fluff, nonsense, irrelevant, and absurd.

Which one is the most likely to be able to lead this country out of the depression? That is the question. Which issues do each of them really support? That is another question, and one not easy to answer.

There is little difference between the two candidates. Romney is marginally the better candidate, IMO, because of his experience in private enterprise.

But, I'm not planning to vote for either one. I'd like to see some of Gary Johnson's ideas be tried out for a change, but then, that's just an impossible dream at this point.

Right, and I'm sure you voted for Silver Star, multiple-Purple Heart awarded combat veteran John Kerry over National Guard boy W, who checked the "do not volunteer" for foreign deployment box.

The felony im talking about is the immigration laws he has broken by being here. Actually there are 2 laws he has broken. He also assaulted a gay teen in high school. He should be charged with a hate crime and deported after his sentence is over.

So, now you're going to assert that Romney is an illegal alien?

OK, and Obama is a Muslim Terrorist.

So, I guess that leaves Gary Johnson as the only viable choice, right?

No he hasn't.

So you also are so embarassed at Obama's record you have to go to desperate and false personal attacks?
I guess so.

Obama's record has been discussed extensively. We should also look at mitt romney's record. Remember that obama's whole life starting from his birth was fair game. the same scrutiny should apply to senor romney.

Obama raped a gay, since one person's statement is truth, and Obama violated federal drug laws for which he should be disqualified as a federal felon.

Drugs laws is different because many of our president's have tried it. If that was the case clinton, bush, reagan, carter every one would be in jail. Not a very egregious violation.
 
Jeez, this thread is going into the crapper fast. Time to get it back on track. Romney is no more of an illegal alien than Obama is. Now, with that out of the way, take a look at this from FOX News:



Of course, Kerry's wife didn't release tax returns. She already had that money before she married Kerry, and besides, she was not running for president.

If these lame excuses are all that Romney has, then he is in huge trouble. Why doesn't he do what every other president has done, and just release his tax return?. If he has nothing to hide, then he shouldn't consider himself special, and above what other candidates have had to do, and he should simply do what they did..... Release the returns.

NOTE: Romney could be pulling an Obama here, by hanging onto his tax returns until the maximum accusations have been made, then release them, thus making the Democrats look like idiots. It's the same tactic Obama used to shame the Tea Partiers who insisted he was hiding the truth that he was from Kenya, not the US, and demanded that Obama show his birth certificate. Now the birthers are irrelevant and ridiculous. Is it possible that Democrats may become irrelevant and ridiculous by the end of the year? :mrgreen:

First, nice equivilency of "Tea parties" to "birthers"....

Second, correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Romney did release tax information. They are simply wanting MORE tax information. Isn't his tax returns how all of this about swiss accounts and such originally started?
