Right on, BTK! The longer the public let's the candidates and the media talk about this inconsequential stuff, the longer they can avoid talking about important issues.

Like when will Congress begin discussing what to do about the expiring Bush tax cuts and deep cuts to spending, including the defense budget? Those things will happen on New Year's Day. Congress has already wasted two full weeks of Congressional sessions voting thirty-three different times to repeal ObamaCare. But not one minute spent so far in addressing the problems which will happen on January 1, 2013.

Let's see, after the election and Thanksgiving, Congress is scheduled to be in session for a grand total of 11 days before they take off for their 4+ week Christmas vacation. I guess a bunch of smart guys like them can get all that work done in just a few days, don't you think?

Or what do you think the chance might be that they realize they don't have enough time, and kick the can down the road once again? After all, they need to allow time after the election to debate and vote a 34th time to repeal ObamaCare!
And you forgot to mention the 50 million dollars the republican-led house of representatives wasted voting to repeal the Affordable Care Act 33 times.

since you know he was talking about "those things" would you care to elaborate on which issue specifically and what he said he would do about it?

You'll have to listen to President Obama's speeches today in Ohio to hear it for yourself? My question was where is Mitt Romney? Do you think his "dancing horse" is going to resonate with a lot of unemployed workers? BTW, Obama will be in Florida later in the week. I haven't heard Romney's schedule mentioned.

I hate the tit for tat game but sometimes when folks lead with their chin ya just gotta smack it.

The million dollar horse will resonate with the unemployed just like the multi million dollar Obama, multiple aircraft including one for the dog, multiple high voter paid price tag vacations resonates with them.

Yesterday's news of insignificance forgotten by most who know the rich and famous do things and have things the rest of us will never have.

Has not a :censored: thing to do with electability....just partisan grinding to avoid the real issues of America.

No matter how "rich and famous" a person may be - or much of a big shot his followers think he may be - EVERYONE has to file tax returns.

All Willard has to do is release his - like Obama, and the two Bushes and Clinton, and Nixon did.

That's all - nothing more.

What's the issue with that?

Guest 07-16-2012 12:50 PM
I don't care how much he made or anybody else.The IRS looks at returns that enough for me.Just trying to deflect own record by harping on this.Most people do not care.We all have money out of this country.Unless you do not have a 401k pension plan or any other type of plan.We have big problems and getting worse.Maybe time for someone who has ran something to take over.Not a Dreamer who hasn't a clue all he can create are more give away's.Oh and this guy really gave away money unlike the 2 in the white house that didn't start until they knew it would become public record.

Guest 07-16-2012 01:35 PM
in the astute words of james carville - "[it's] the economy, stupid!" and axlerod/plouffe want to stay as far away from that record as possible - so they'll throw every snowball they can manufacture to deflect facing the issue. it's not tax returns, not corp titles, not sec filings, not birth certificates, not college records, not vacations, etc! it's the economy! but even axlerod and plouffe cannot make that look good - and neither can obama!

What's to discuss about the health care act?

That fight is over - Obama won - SCOTUS said it is constitutional. It is the law of the land.

Polling data on it means nothing - what's your point here?
boy howdy! when the polls start to go south, somebody wants ya to believe that polling data doesn't mean anything anymore! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

It makes you wonder how many years tax returns Mitt Romney is requiring his potential VP picks to provide. Republicans were the ones that insisted all of President Obama's cabinet picks provide numerous years of tax returns.

The funniest thing Romney said today on Fox News was that Theresa Heinz Kerry never provided her tax returns. Apparently Romney thinks he's running for first lady.

Richie,Richie...Pretty good attempt at changing the subject,nice spin to it. But what the heck do dividends,movie stars and jealosy have to do with the FACT that Romney got $100,000 in FREE money for doing nothing and I repeat nothing. Why is it OK with you that for him it's OK to take free money but for others they are freeloaders.
How is a legal contract in a private business enterprise "free money"?

You guys only want the tax returns because you know a man in Romney's position has very complicated returns that 1,000 liberal lawyers will fine-tooth-comb, to come up with a 1,000 questions which should take us all the way to November with speculation, while the crash and burning Obama economy is ignored by the lamestream media.

It a good and cynical plan.

Obama's claim of impropriety by Mitt Romney makes one do a double take when you consider this is from a guy who has been immersed in the notorious climate of Chicago style politics and personally associated with Tony Rezko, Blogdaovich, Ayers, and so many other convicted felons

The audacity of some. A demand for tranparceny from a guy whose background looks like swiss cheese because there are so mny holes in it.

A Obama following that critics now referred to as "Bainers" because they view the claim of these followers as legitimate as those Birther followers.

the economy is in free fall and Obama contnues his war on the rich.

Guest 07-16-2012 03:25 PM
it doesn't matter why we want the tax returns the bigger question is still why won't he give them up? And for those of you worried about this taking up the news instead of important subjects then make the returns available, case closed. Lets get on with the other stuff.

I suggest to you that Romney is VERY RICH...not just a little bit and the release of his tax information would become the campaign. There would be a team of auditors from far and wide going over the very complex returns and each and every day there would be another assault as we see going on now...and then NOTHING gets talked about relative to the country !

Typical Republican fallback is Diverting The Question. It is very much like a child saying, "Yes, I did that but Johnnie broke 2 windows and he did not get a spanking, why should I get one?"

Yes, I heard the exact thing last night while I was flipping through the channels and landed on Fox Noise. The Fox Noise talking head was saying all those names just as Rubicon just did. Well, the parrots are out today. Rubicon, I am actually very disappointed in you for this posting. You are much better than this.

Guest 07-16-2012 07:47 PM
bucco,shouldn't Romneys accountants already have done all their work? What do they get paid for? Isn't their job to get all the legal tax breaks for him? He's rich,so what. What is he afraid of?
