Posted: 7/19/2012 11:38:27 AM | look
i am not really into this romney, guy, or the political scean in the states, but can anyone please explain, why anyone is taking this man seriously
he does everything not to pay his 'fair' share of taxes
he is not open about his wealth, or how he got it
he has been caught in at least one big lie about how long he worked for a company
boy, would my life be different if i only had to pay 15% of what everyone else has to pay in taxes
the other thing is why on earth, would anyone want a guy who was responsable for exporting jobs???
god knows
everyone wants the USA to get back to being strong! | |

| Ann Romney's Remarks
Posted: 7/19/2012 12:36:16 PM | | This is so mind-bogglingly bad that I really don't know how to answer. Obama has released a certified copy of his birth certificate. And by the way, just who the hell is "romey" and what does he have to do with this thread? | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 12:51:19 PM | | I guess the Sheriff from Arizona can figure out the truth about Obama's birth certificate.....lol....in the meantime, getting back to Ann Romney...I don't think she should do any more interviews, she inserts foot into mouth every time. I felt like she was talking to her lowly maid in this interview.....she will regret she said it. I can see how the Romneys feel about the rest of us stupid people....geez. They are totally disconnected to the 99%. | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 1:21:49 PM | I like Ann Romney. But she was in an unwinnable position.
They're not releasing the tax returns because releasing them would be worse than keeping mum. With all the pressure, coming even from friendly media and other Republicans, that much is clear. So, she had to defend the indefensible. What could she say? Is there any answer to that question which would be a good one?
The campaign now knows this isn't going away. They know it will come up constantly over the coming months, and Obama will ask Romney directly about it in the first debate. So they are focus grouping different responses as we all sit here. They couldn't let Ann use one of the answers they are testing, because they want to use the best answer for the first time in the debate. And they don't yet know which one that is. Next week or thereabouts, you'll start hearing the answer that tested second best every time this question is raised. | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 1:52:21 PM | How many years of tax returns has Obama released?
Oh... about 11 years of returns going back to the 'turn of the century'...
If I'm not mistaken (and I'm not) Obama has released more returns than any President since Roosevelt...
The only person who beats this is Biden...
Any other questions...? | |

| Ann Romney's Remarks
Posted: 7/19/2012 2:26:26 PM | All the world's a stage, and the politicians (and wives) are playing their roles to whip the masses into a frenzy once again.
Rather than continually trying to find solutions and sense between these two bought and sold parties, at some point, people will have to think of government beyond the realm of two party back and forth. There is no true "choice" in American politics. Hobson's choice "better than the other guy" is all we have so long as we comply and stay within this corrupt system. Until then....carry on with the divisive partisan bickering. ;o) | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 2:39:14 PM | If I were Romney I'd be hesitant about releasing my returns too. Then, us regular folks would realize just how little tax he paid in relation to his earnings. And, we'd realize how many loopholes the rich have available. All these perks are legislated by congress at the urging of....of course, THE RICH. Then it would further bring to light the way the rich use their wealth to skew the laws to their benefit... This includes presidential wannabe' Mitt and he knows it.
And, If you have any question about President Obama's birth certificate ask Donald Trump. He saw it and I believe he is one of the Republicans top mouthpieces. | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 2:56:41 PM | can people just look at romney
why on earth, and how on earth did this guy make it to be a presidential candidate
please do not tell me that their is not one good, law abiding,tax paying, partiotic american out there.....there are good citizens in every party
how could anyone really take this man seriously
i 'get that many dont like obama...
i would love to know why anyone would vote for a man who avoids paying his fair share of taxes
takes his wealth out of his country
ships jobs overseas......
times are hard, everyone should at least pay their fair share
a president should not promote taking jobs 'out' of his country
I honestly would love to see the USA, strong again
the world needs its leadership again,why is it that neither party is able to come up with a good candidate for president | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 7:45:09 PM | "You people"??
There is an article in a biz news mag that has two theories
why Romney's tax returns will never be released.
1) Thru offshore bank accounts and other legal maneuvers
maybe he payed no taxes at all.
2) It could be he took part in a govt amnesty that was offered to
rich folks to pay taxes on foreign bank accounts to avoid prosecution.
This is of course speculation.
however....this issue is not going away.
And so it would have to be something REALLY embarrassing
for Romney to risk his election over it.
whatever it is...
may well end up being bigger than Clinton's cigar.
:-P | |

When he says, "Well I was CEO and collected 100,000 dollars from them, but I had nothing to do with them," he shows America another example of how he is unlike the rest of us. | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 8:33:25 PM | Could anything less be expected out of a spoiled Tea Party Republican? Given all that I have read, watched, studied, and heard, I would say not.
All that the modern day Tea Party Republicans do is talk about how great America can be. All talk, but no real action.
It will be a truly sad day if the Electoral College decides to elect S**t Romney over Barack Obama or whoever is running as an independent.
Barack Obama will never be the greatest president we ever had. He too like any other president has made questionable decisions while in office. But at least he has SOME common sense, he has SOME idea of what it takes to jump start a consumer driven economy, he has attempted to work WITH the most rigid and incompetent congress since who knows when, has never tried to shove any religion down our throats, and doesn't have to lie about where his own money goes.
The Electoral College will see all this happening firsthand and elect him regardless of what the popular vote says.
But hey Republican/Tea Party fans it could be worse, you could have had one of the other bumbling idiots running against him...heck , against Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, or Michele Bachmann, there wouldn't be anything to talk about because then everybody would know for sure who would win. | |

Posted: 7/19/2012 9:28:19 PM | The reason this issue is being talked about by the press so much
is Romney is no newbie as to running for President.
All candidates are careful to get tax issues out in the open.
Yes, they may be grilled about it.
(Earning too much or paying too little.)
But it soon blows over and the press moves onto something else.
Before anyone goes on to campaign for the job...tax records
are pored over by the staff and the candidate is coached how to answer questions.
Not only does the press not know what is in his tax records....
his own staff doesn't either.
which is very very odd.
So this puts a huge bulls eye on Romney's back as far as reporters are concerned.
They figure it is something so lethally embarrassing that he keeps it form his own staff.
and that makes the press want to dig into it more.
Each reporter is hoping to corner him in a Monica moment.
At this point the campaign is now ALL about what Romney's hiding.
and not Obama.
which is lucky for Obama, as he may not have a chance otherwise.
Cus the economy seems to be tipping over. | |

he has SOME idea of what it takes to jump start a consumer driven economy LMAO..
The only way Obama will win is if he and his administration the complicit media continue the character assassination of Romney....
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy.
The Electoral College will see all this happening firsthand and elect him regardless of what the popular vote says. This quote epitomizes exactly what is wrong with the "Liberal" mentality...who cares about Democracy the will of the people the value of their vote and what not because Liberals believe that the average person is to dumb to vote for what is in their best interest...
f I'm not mistaken (and I'm not) Obama has released more returns than any President since Roosevelt... And? ...how much has he released about his College years pretty much every President or Candidate releases their Transcripts and what not...

Posted: 7/20/2012 6:05:21 AM | And? ...how much has he released about his College years pretty much every President or Candidate releases their Transcripts and what not...
This is incorrect. Presidential candidates do not routinely release their college transcripts. This is something the braindead birthers have been going after ever since they struck out on the birth certificate. President Obama is the only president in history who has been asked to provide these documents. He is also the first African American president. I wonder if there is a connection?
The tradition of revealing multiple tax returns was started by George Romney in 1968 and has been done by every presidential candidate since then, until now. President Obama has revealed over 10 years worth and Romney has shown only 1 and that one according to experts is incomplete.
It s obvious Mitt Romney is hiding something. | |

The answer:
This is so mind-bogglingly bad that I really don't know how to answer. Obama has released a certified copy of his birth certificate.
Even over here we know he has produced his birth certificate.
When we hear some of the crap the far-right comes up with to try and discredit Obama, things like the birth certificate fiasco which are downright lies, like saying he is a Muslim, things they know aren't true, we just shake our heads.
The outcome of your presidential elections doesn't just affect America, it affects the rest of the world. | |

Obama's campaign won the second the GOP debates started. Romney is only helping him more and more each and every day.
This quote epitomizes exactly what is wrong with the "Liberal" mentality...who cares about Democracy the will of the people the value of their vote and what not because Liberals believe that the average person is to dumb to vote for what is in their best interest...
I have never heard of this being a liberal mentality. But then again I'm not fully liberal so I truthfully don't know. But us independents already know that the Electoral College decides and not us (Check the 2000 election and then tell me there's no evidence of that). We also already know that voting for either party is not in our best interests. Sadly though, it's also a fact that one party or the other will win 99% of the time. | |

Posted: 7/21/2012 8:26:55 PM | I moved back to my country of birth, Colombia. There, I've come across a couple friends and relatives with questionable large amounts of money and let me tell ya, they all have bank accounts outside Colombia in such places as Panama and believe it or not, Cayman Island among others. You take it from there.
As for someone still questioning Obamas birth certificate it only gives that person little credibility and leaves him wide open for ridicule | |

Posted: 7/26/2012 3:50:29 PM | Perhaps Mitt and Ann are among these people...
If I was one of these and running for Pres today I sure wouldn't want my tax returns out there...

Posted: 7/26/2012 4:09:53 PM | | It is pretty apparent that not releasing the tax returns would be less damaging to his campaign than releasing them. We can only speculate now. I figure that it would make it painfully clear how much wealth can be sheltered from taxation for those wealthy enough to take advantage. It would then be hard for normal tax payers to feel much kinship with Romney. Perhaps he has not been tithing to his church fully and doesn't want to jeapardize his standing there? | |
