    Yup. It's a lot like a Jr. High School rumor mill. If I was running for any office, all I'd have to do is sell my soul to either side and then spread lies about my competition to win.

    It's high time that we scrapped our model and started killing everyone who willingly runs for anything higher than Sheriff. We should draft our candidates like we do with Jury Duty.

    Especially when lies !!!!! Reid used gossip and facts are---list of nominees with tax problems:
    1)Lael Brainard, nominee for Treasury Undersecretary of International Affairs:, Brainard "was late in paying real estate taxes in 2005, 2006 and 2007. A report by the staff of the Senate Finance Committee, which is overseeing her confirmation, also challenged the accuracy of a home office deduction Brainard. The challenge led Brainard to reduce the deduction on her 2008 return, says ALG. The AP also reports Brainard was evidently not forthcoming to the committee: "The committee's top Republican is unhappy that the committee staff had to submit 10 sets of questions to Brainard before getting complete information about the discrepancies."
    2)Capricia Marshall, Chief of protocol for the State Department, a position that carries the status of an ambassadorship – Marshall failed to file taxes in2005 &2006
    3)Kathleen Sebelius, secretary, Health and Human Services: The former governor of Kansas amended three years' worth of tax returns to correct "unintentional errors," paying back taxes and interest totaling just under $8,000.

    4)Ron Kirk, Trade Representative: The former mayor of Dallas, Tex. owed nearly $10,000 in back taxes for 2005, 2006 and 2007; filed an amended return after the Finance Committee noted the discrepancies.
    5)Caroline Atkinson, Treasury Undersecretary of International Affairs (same job Brainard is going for): "Caroline Atkinson, was told she had to withdraw after a 'tax problem' was revealed early in the vetting process, according to officials,” reports the ABC News blog.
    6)Tom Daschle, nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services: Failed to pay taxes on more than $300,000 worth of income he gained through consulting work, including the taxfree use of a car and driver for several years.
    7)Nancy Killefer, nominee, Administration's Chief Performance Officer: Withdrew after Killefer was found to have failed to pay employment taxes for household help.
    8)Hilda Solis, Secretary of Labor: Husband had unpaid tax liens against his business in Los Angeles county; in all, 16 state and county tax liens amounting to $11,640.
    9)Timothy Geithner, Secretary of the Treasury :Extent of tax problems longer than previously known. Geithner didn't pay Social Security and Medicare taxes while he worked for the International Monetary Fund between 2001 and 2004. As an American citizen working for the IMF, Mr. Geithner was technically considered self-employed and was required to pay Social Security and Medicare taxes for himself as both an employer and an employee, reports the Wall Street Journal. In 2006, the IRS audited Mr. Geithner's 2003 and 2004 taxes and concluded he owed taxes and interest totaling $17,230, according to documents released by the Senate Financeommittee. The IRS waived the related penalties, the Journalreports.

    Absolutely but it should be remembered that these ads are INTENDED to turn you off..

    You may not like the ad.. You may think and say that they reflect poorly on those who produce those ads but on the subliminal level they WORK.. You may not even KNOW how much of that negative reaction gets transferred to the target and how much gets transferred to the attacker..

    It's a LOT easier when it's somebody like Harry Reid,, Nancy Pelosi ( who supports Reid's Attack ) or Nappy Headed Wasserman -Shultz ( who ALSO supports Reid) because such people are widely KNOWN to be STUPID.. They are widely KNOWN to be LIARS and they are widely KNOWN to be the SCUM of the Earth..

    What really turns me off is they get away with it because there are people out there that don't care if the attacks are true or not. They only want reinforcement of their bigoted ideals. Reid, Obama, and other liberals know it; so they continue. I just don't understand people that would rather accept a lie than question it validity.

    Obama needs to shows his passport records, kindergarten records, Punahou School records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, University of Chicago scholarly articles, Illinois State Bar Association records, Illinois State Senate records/schedules, medical records, Obama/Dunham marriage license, Obama/Dunham divorce documents, Soetoro/Dunham marriage license and adoption records, but not before.
    If this man has nothing to hide why would he spend over a million dollars to keep his records sealed? He has even said he was not an American in a speech he made in 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    Yes, and I have heard from reliable sources that Harry Reid has a gambling
    problem. How did he get to be a millionaire on a Senator's salary?........ did he
    win it in a LV casino, or was he bought and paid for by the gambling, prostitution and
    the boxing industries..

    No nonsense NanC...don't BS me!
    Yes, isn't it a disgrace that people can discredit candidates with all that hearsay
    information........ I really thought better of you. The interesting question about
    Reid is: How did he become a millionaire living in the Ritz Carleton in DC on
    a Senator's salary? There is no hearsay in that information, and I didn't get it from a reliable source.......

    Romney had an inheritance, which he gave to charity, but
    he became a millionaire in spite of it....... and he didn't do it with government's help.
    Makes him even more admirable.

    I'm sure he received tax breaks, etc.. and if it wasn't for his father being a wealthy person Mitt never would of been able to get where he is today..

    He's far from admirable.
  • No nons... mich52 2012/08/10 17:13:04
    No nonsense NanC...don't BS me!
    "He's far from admirable."

    Let's talk about the "tax breaks, etc." you are sure he received". I am sure
    his tax lawyer used, just as everyone else in his tax bracket does, like
    Ge, for example. GE, headed by 0bama's chairman of the Jobs committee,
    paid no income tax last year......... Did GE break the law? Seems not because
    they have good tax lawyers. The reason 0bama wants his tax returns is
    he want to comb through them to see if there is the slightest
    thing that he can use to use against Romney in his class warfare tactic.....
    like Swiss bank accounts, which many people in congress like Nancy
    Pelosi has. I suspect that many of 0bama's contributors have.
    Then their is one of 0bama's major bundlers that IS actually at Bain, that
    so called vulture capitalist firm that Romney founded.

    "if it wasn't for his father being a wealthy person Mitt never would of been able to get where he is today.."

    You don't know that, but even if that were true that because his father
    was wealthy, he got a better education and more luxuries growing up, what
    he has in wealth today, he earned. That isn't admirable? That is a
    testament of the "American dream", but those of you on the Left who
    are being primed to hate success out of envy and greed will never see that
    as true.
