Stand tall and be proud !!

"Yet not a single Democrat has had the spine to rebuke Reid."

Not even when he summed up Obama's entire worth by saying he is "a "light-skinned" African American "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one".

What a class act.

As I said, they should all stand tall and be proud !!

:agree: Harry Reid was prompted by Obama advisor's and his followers---I am sure that is correct. Consensus of a panel on Fox last night was that Romney advisor's should have prompted him to release 5 or 6 years of tax returns several weeks ago and this would be a dead issue a long time ago. The economy and deficit have been on the back burner----like you said for the last 5 or 6 days. Get it over with----release the tax returns before they are somehow leaked by some "unknown" entity. It wouldn't be the first time that this administration leaked classified documents. Of course, it has never been prove----think people are dumb?

Another person who stands proud of criminal accusations made on the senate floor and then demand the accused prove he is innocent...wonderful ...the pride is obvious !

And if you think if he released 20 years at any time, this will die, you are in a fantasy world big time. This presidential campaign is aimed at destroying Romney PERSONALLY, not based on what is supposed to happen and he gets this defense....you folks are just proud of this. This is pretty low, as low as I have seen things in some time, if ever. Man, I hope ROmney has an October surprise that resurrects all the shady areas of our Presidents life and has lots of evidence to back the suspicions that you folks do not care about.

Be proud

You see that even Willard's advisors are telling him to release the tax returns and the whole kerfluffle would be finished.

All of this refusal on Willard's part just leads everyone to KNOW that something is WRONG. He is LOSING voters by the thousands every day this goes on.

No one wants to vote for a VERY RICH man for President who has possibly paid NO taxes. If there is nothing wrong going on, WHY will he not release them? Seems FISHY to me.

i want to - and i WILL! and i know i am not alone. i can say that truthfully and as a fact; whereas, claiming no one wants to is just an opinion...and one i just disputed! ;)

I have posted three articles by liberal folks...I mean who absolutely support the progressive movement...one is in the thread from the Washington Post...one this morning from the Boston Herald and another along with a Pittsburgh paper calling this entire thing..."cheesey". The Boston Herald article spells out a lot of what Obama has done by using folks around him like Reid to destroy INDIVIDUALS, PEOPLE...never mind any issues...he did it in Chicago as spelled out in the article.

Anyway, the point is that these liberal folks are now sick of the entire tone of this campaign and predict backlash.

Those who only read what they are comfortable with would never know it..if you check CNN website (at least about an hour ago) on the political page of that site...NOT ONE STORY on this.....not as big as these folks on here want to make it. It is uncomfortable, but I go back to the Boston Herald article on this thread that I linked.....it was basically a "stop being a nice guy Mitt" and a few examples of what has happened in MA when he was pushed. I still maintain, and this is simply opinion, Romney campaign is playing the rope a dope thing...and will just say to those who think this is neat....never understood folks like you....and to just remember how much time is left in this election. Even with all of this crap, Obama's performance percent went DOWN during all of this.

If romney is trying to hide something because he won't release his taxes then I have to assume Obama is hiding something because he won't release anything about anything.

luv it! thanx for bringing me a smile this eve! ;)

of course you know i've followed that - and i don't doubt that it is true - but they are just some of the crowd. my guess is that libs/progies are all over the map with their philosophies, attitudes and wants from govt, etc - no cohesion - one of their problems - but LOTS of diversionary tactics! i so hope the candidate's handlers let them get down to addressing the issues of fixing a broken government SOON!

do you think we will soon start reading about the liberals and/or progressives starting a subversive campaign to turn our attitude toward justice from innocent until proven guilty to the french attitude of guilty until proven innocent.

[i can't wait for the daily rundown to return to msnbc this friday!!!! i miss my daily dose of the left as served up by chuck todd - i like him so much more than his sister christine!] ;)

Some reading to show some of the backlash that has begun


[B]"George Will on Harry Reid's claim: "Harry Reid's source, if we're to assume he actually has one, is identified by Harry Reid as an investor in Bain. That's as though I own some Microsoft stock, which I do, and I said, 'As an investor in Microsoft, I now have opinions on Bill Gates' tax returns.'

"Look, in 1950, Joe McCarthy went to West Virginia, didn't know what to tell the women's Republican Club of Wheeling, West Virginia, so he said, 'I have in my hand a list of 205 communists in the State Department.' He didn't have a list. Harry Reid doesn't have any evidence either. This is McCarthyism from the desert."

ABC's Jon Karl on Harry Reid: "It's one of the most outrageous charges that I've ever seen actually made on the Senate floor."[/B]

"Reid, who also refuses to release his own tax returns, isn’t just a hypocrite and a slanderer. He’s also a political idiot. Until these attacks, Romney was on the defensive over his tax returns. Now Romney can paint his decision to keep them private as a principled stand against unscrupulous opponents. Reid has handed the high ground to Romney in this fight with his scurrilous lies. Reid has all but ruined Obama’s strategy of making Romney look secretive and weird."

George Will On Harry Reid: "This Is McCarthyism From The Desert" | RealClearPolitics

"PolitiFact, the independent fact checking entity, has concluded that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's accusation that Mitt Romney didn't pay taxes for ten years is so unfounded that it deserves the group's "pants on fire" label.

The site references interviews several news outlets conducted with tax experts, as well as one it did with an economist at New York University's Stern School of Business. Each expert claims that it was extremely unlikely that Romney didn't pay taxes for that long a period."

PolitiFact: Harry Reid's Pants Are On Fire

"Enter Majority Leader Harry Reid, who decided it would be appropriate to pass along an anonymous allegation he supposedly heard (although, who knows?) — that Mitt Romney had not paid taxes for a decade.

This unsubstantiated allegation was generally mocked, even by the establishment press.

For example, the Washington Post’s Richard Cohen observed:

In “The Godfather Part II,” a senator from Nevada is portrayed as corrupt. His name is Pat Geary. In real life, a senator from Nevada is a jerk. His name is Harry Reid.

This is a good sign, but not everybody was willing to call Reid out for being a jerk. In fact, some people are doubling down:

“Harry Reid made a statement that is true. Somebody told him. It is a fact,” [House Minority Leader Nancy] Pelosi told The Huffington Post in a Sunday interview.

This is laughable. We ought to be honest enough to call out this sort of irresponsible behavior — on both sides of the aisle.

So going forward, let’s agree on this: Anyone who tells you Michele Bachmann is a joke, but Harry Reid is a “serious statesman,” is an intellectually dishonest hack."

"And on the reckless-and-slanderous intensity scale, Mr. Reid’s allegations rank far below the sadly pervasive charges against the president: That he wasn’t born in the United States, that he’s a secret Muslim, that he’s a secret Marxist…Last I checked, none of these guys had called Donald Trump a dirty liar.

Generally the “your side does it, too” argument isn’t worth making. But the hypocrisy here is stunning."

:agree:

They just don't get it...I don't care if Mr. Romney releases anymore tax returns...he's already released what he had to.

I don't care if Mr. Romney is rich...that has absolutely NOTHING to do with his bid for the Presidency.

I would rather vote for someone who I know has worked hard to get where he is rather than someone who was groomed all his life to become President just to make history.

I bet Romney's hand are more ruff than a iron workers hands and he has more stress than an emergency room staff working the night shift in some of our violent cities. Both of which make less than 100K per year and pay approx 15 % of that money in taxes.
