MITT ROMNEY LIES AGAIN: "John Kerry released [only] two years of taxes."

FAWKES' NOOSE ~ ΔTX 2012/07/15 20:42:06


In fact, In his bid for the Presidency,
Senator John Kerry released


TWENTY (20) YEARS OF TAXES.

Not two.




In a CNBC interview with Larry Kudlow, Mitt Romney defended his decision to release only two years of tax returns — both filed after he decided to run for President — by claiming that 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry also released two years. From an advanced transcript:



KUDLOW: Why not release your tax returns? Why not go back 10 years?


Gov. ROMNEY: Well, we’ve had people run for president before, and they’ve released two years. John Kerry released two years of taxes.. I’ve released one already, put the
estimate out for the next year. We’ll have two years of taxes.
.

In fact, Senator Kerry made a habit of releasing tax returns to the Massachusetts press during his senate campaigns. In 1996 and 1997, for instance, The Boston Globe ran stories on Mr. Kerry’s returns. During his 2004 presidential campaign, it looks as though Mr. Kerry released tax returns for the years 1999 to 2003.


From an April 14, 2004 article by Byron York:

In addition to his 2003 returns, Kerry also released
federal tax returns from the years 1999 to 2002 yesterday. There has
been some dispute about returns for those years. Kerry has claimed that
he had already released the returns — in January of this year, he said, “I released all my tax returns for 20 years. I have never not released my tax returns throughout my political career.”
But aside from releasing details from his 2002 taxes — which showed a
total income of $144,091 — it is not clear that Kerry has ever made
public his returns from 1999 or 2000 or 2001 before now.



Thus far, Mitt Romney has only released one year of returns. Romney’s father, George Romney, released 12 years of returns, stating “one year could be a fluke, perhaps done for show.”

    This is all petty stuff compared to all the atrocities you liberals are letting Obama get away with. The only problem with Romney is that he is squeaky clean. So Romney thought he knew the correct information about Kerry's taxes! OMG get over it and go after the real criminal OBAMA!

    Oh please, Romney has continually lied and, now, prominent Republicans are telling Romney to release his tax reasons. I believe the reason he's refused is that he knows the implications when the American people learn he paid little or no taxes in recent years.

    Maybe Romney is waiting till the last minute, kind of like Obama waited years to show us his so called Birthcertificate. What is wrong with that? Obama has been hiding lots of information for years and he is paying thousands and thousands of dollars for his lawyers to keep the information hidden. Maybe Mitt is holding off to see if Obama will stop hiding his past. If someone asks me for any information about my past, I am not going to pay thousands of dollars to keep the public from knowing anything about me. I work for the public, they deserve to know who I am. See where I'm coming from.

    Obama isn't hiding his past. His birth certificate has been verified, on many occasions, by the State of Hawaii and they're far more credible than you or any other racist birther.

    It has been proven fake by professionals. Anyone can sign a paper that is illegally done. The officials in Hawaii are as corrupt as Obama is. How about all his college transcripts they are so easy to get, but yet he does not want to expose them. You always bring up racism for everything. I have beautiful black friends that are not corrupt like Obama. Please save your trash for yourself. The only racist is Obama. He hates whites and there is plenty of evidence of that.

    No, it hasn't been proven fake, and there's no evidence proving Obama hate's white people.

    Go to youtube and see the preachings Obama use to listen too. Jeremiah Wright and most of those black people in that church are still blaming the white man for slavery. Obama sat through twenty years of hate speech. Yep....that is what it is HATE speech. Nothing, absolutely nothing to do with JESUS!

    Oh please, Kerry released numerous years of his tax returns and so did John McCain. I know when a conservative uses the "kool aid" comment I've won the argument.

    Explain how Mitt Romney lying about John Kerry is a distraction from the White House.

    Did the White House tell him to say Kerry only released 2 years of tax returns?

    That must be it.

    This thread is about Mitt Romney lying about John Kerry. If you want to 'move on; and talk about something else, start your own thread.

    John Kerry was George Bush's opponent in 2004. I guess you were watching cartoons back then. He also was (and still is) the junior Senator from Massachusetts - a position he held while Mitt Romney was governor of that state, therefore Mitt's lie is blatant and intentional.

    And just what do any of those records have to do with his ability to be president? No one would ever release their client list. That would be insane.

    ''his ability to be president'' has been answered over the last 3 years. Look at any statistic and the answer is a resounding NO.
    It would have been nice to know this 4 years ago.
    Yes politicians routinely release their client list and billing time. That does not violate client-attorney privilege.
    For instance, we would want to know if 0bama had defended a crook like tony rezco.

    The abortion statistics have stopped since Obama became president! They are even selling the little aborted babies to heal people from certain diseases. Obama's embryonic stem cell research was a flop, so now they are using aborted babies! Notice how all of this is hush, hush. Obama is the worst kind of criminal, no wonder he is encouraging and paying for abortions! Please pass the information, it has to be exposed!!!!!!! http://www.lifenews.com/2012/...

    THIS MESSAGE IS FOR flrdsgns!! flrdsgns!!!! The little coward blocked me!!! He wants to know what Obama's records have to do with anything and I would like to answer him. If Obama exposed his paperwork, then people will have undeniable evidence of the lies that he has said. Actually they can bring felony charges because some of them are official government documents. While in college he claimed he was a foreign student, because muslims have very good benefits and they get all their education, room and board paid. He has broken the law and he is so afraid of being caught, it is so ridiculous to see him accusing Romney of breaking the law. Ha ha ha ha ha ha so very unbelievable!
