POLITICO.COM reports:
LAS VEGAS — Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid again deflected questions Monday about releasing his tax returns, even as he continued to pound the demand for Mitt Romney to make more of his own public. Instead, Reid pointed to the financial disclosure forms he files as a member of Congress, which provide different information. “I’m...

    If you are running for public office, why wouldn't you disclose information if it is applicable?

    You have to remember Congress people and their families were allowed to invest in stock while they worked on laws pertaining to the stock. That is a conflict of interest and on the taxpayer's dollar.

    Absolutely! If he wants Romney to release his returns, why shouldn't Reid release his too?

    Ried is not running for President of the United States of America and STOP with the damn transcripts nonsense already. NO president has been asked to release his transcripts. You know what degrees he has and where they were learned; that's enough!

    Reid, his family and friends has made millions off the Government tit through special contracts and corruption.. Look at his wealth before and after if you have any doubt. There are people in prison for doing far less than him. He drinks fine wine, smokes big cigars and lives in his guarded gated community.... The man lost touch with the real person many years ago, and has gone into a state of dilusions that he is a special person that is entitled to all the fine things.

    I said it once before.

    When the Liberals are prepared to release their histories, I'll stand beside them and demand that Romney release his tax returns.

    But then, bigot/racist Liberals will never get it right anyway.

    Think about what this Reid has gotten away with here....then runs off on vacation. He hasn't release his own tax documents but will gripe about somebody else? Epitome of elitist behavior. How did he get to become a multi millionaire being a lifelong civil servant?
    He wants to point at his financial disclosures, yet, Romney has submitted his financial disclosures back to 2002 and apparently, what is good enough for Reid is not, in his book, good enough for Romney. What a load.

    If Harry wants to make a unsupported claim by a unnamed resource. This unnamed resource would not have just stated Romney did not pay, they would have given proof. Now do you really think if Harry had proof he would just sit on it.

    You want Romney to show his Taxes, you first.

    If Romney had done anything with his taxes, the DNC would have alerted the IRS the second Romney began running.

    Exactly
    Which branch of government oversees the IRS? 0bozo and Holder have had people pick through Romney's tax returns with a fine tooth comb and microscope.

    He would have been indicted on tax evasion charges long ago if one hair was out of place.

    And we know he can keep his hair in place! he could make it thru a hurricane and look exactly the same. lol.
    and he will look the same after this election is over....maybe a little more smiley, tho. Meanwhile, its lock and load. The skidders are attacking.

    That's funny.
    At first, I had reservations because he looked too damn perfect,.... like a Hollyweird movie Prez.
    After doing some research, I saw he's a very compassionate human being who just happened to be born into money but has worked all his life.
    Even as a security guard pulling graveyard shift to pay his way through college.

    He's exactly what we need right now, not another damn Haaavuud lawyer.

    No one knows who Obama is; the Media never vetted him and
    his supporters have spent millions preventing any release of the above. What little has been presented have proven to
    be photo shopped frauds.

    I wish one of those superpacs would have a commercial and ask those 21 questions. Everyone needs to know the answers to these questions.

    I don't consider myself a birther, but the more I find out about Obama the more I discover that he has not been very transparent. What is hiding? Why does the media not try and answer these questions? There probably are books about Obama but the liberal media has a large quadrant of America brainwashed. Shows like the Daily Show ,The View andLetterman all say that any negative book about Obama is garbage and written by nuts and many people believe that. So anytime something negative comes out about Obama, a large portion of the country thinks it comes from the "right wing conspiracy" However, when all the nasty books came out about Bush..they take it in like it is the gospel truth.

    Hasn't been completed yet.

    The only way to prove or disprove his accusation is for Romney to just show the returns.

    Even if he didn't pay taxes in some years, that says more about our tax code then anything about Romney's character.

    I find it interesting that Harry Reid would act as Obama's proxy by making an obviously false allegation.

    Interesting only because it is a cunning maneuver to put Romney on the defensive and distract from the obvious hypocrisy of secrecy of documents in the Obama administration.

    Romney is in a cage match with political street thugs. If Romney doesn't throw elbows, his dignity will be small consolation for losing the presidency.
  • Brad # ... Heisenberg 2012/08/07 16:20:04

    I don't know what Romney is waiting for. Does he plan to come out slugging after the convention? Or do you think he is going to be a soft wimp against the gangster democrat party? It is very frustrating.
