Romney's Investments In Iran And China Prove We Need More Of His Tax Returns

Mitt Romney's ongoing desperation to keep his tax returns a deep dark secret is almost getting to be funny. After taking six months to manipulate his 2011 return to cover his claim that he pays "at least" 14%, and after his so-called "summary" of his prior years once again fell flat, the questions about Romney's financial past are only more glaring. Still, I suppose Romney would rather people focus on his avarice than on his condemnation of half the population of the United States as lazy bums who refuse to take personal responsibility for their lives.

Romney's Investments In Iran And China Prove We Need More Of His Tax Returns

Mitt Romney refuses to give the American people more than two years' tax returns, saying that there is so much fodder in them that Democrats will find too many things to grill him on. I understand and agree with Mitt, there is a lot of information in his taxes that Dems may find to use against him, but that is no one's fault but his.
It was revealed on The Rachel Maddow show tonight and is also being shown by FT.com, that Mitt's been investing for quite a while …years to be exact, in Iran, which has been an illegal practice for a while now.
Rachel revealed that one of the companies that Romney had invested in, whether knowingly or not, is ‘Cnooc' which is a Chinese owned company that tried to buy the American company ‘Unocal' in 2005, but was restricted from doing so on the basis that the merger represented a National Security risk, the deal was frowned upon by lawmakers and was subsequently scrapped.
After this catastrophe and I think in retaliation, the Chinese gave approval for Cnooc to invest in a deal with Iran in 2009…seven months after which the highly publicized deal was invested in by Mitt's ‘blind' trust. I remind you now of one of Rachel's favorite clips which shows Mitt saying that a "Blind Trust" is just an ‘age-old ruse' as you can stipulate what your blind trust is allowed to invest in, thereby making Mitt ultimately responsible for the investments his blind trust invested in, under his prior stipulations.
The investments were made by the trust in 2009, which is well after Mitt ran for the Republican nomination, being edged out by the McCain/Palin ticket. This is definitely the best reason for Mitt to release his taxes, so Americans will have an opportunity to meet the real Mitt Romney before we vote for him to become the President. Release the hounds Mitt…release the hounds!

Give me a break!
0-bots throw out to distract others when they don't have an intelligent response.
Nice try, but no cigars!
My statement was a reference to Batman.
time listing them. Anyone who has been paying attention knows it
is a routine tactic with Liberals.
have nothing to say....... have a good day!
But you don't see the contradiction, do you?

I guess American workers from the Janesville plant in Wisconsin couldn't make the switch from building SUV's and small trucks, to the Chevy Spark - electric either. That will be shipped, fully assembled to the U.S. from S. Korea.
TOYOTA & Honda are more 'apple pie' than GM is.
GM is doing what it has to do in order to be competitive worldwide, isn't that the American way?
Watch the video.
Profit is God, isn't that the American way?
Look at anything except the current President and his policies and the damage they are causing.
We have a Presidential election in 42 days. If we are not going to have the facts about each candidate, how is anyone supposed to make a rational, informed choice? The kindly folks on the Right seem to think that if we don't know whether the President got an A or a B in a math class in High School we can't trust him to run the nation, but now it's irrelevant to know whether a Presidential candidate violated Federal law by making illegal investments in a country that he now wants to start a war with?
You know, according to Harry Reid.
5 years later and we still have 1,000 unanswered questions about Barry Soetoro's past and many of his claims in his bio have proven to be lies. Where's the lame stream media on all that?
Fact is, there are PLENTY of people who knew the Romney family and there's PLENTY of verifiable proof that his bio is just as he says it was all the way down to digging through his High School acquaintances.
SHEEEEIIIITT,.... people aren't exactly tripping all over themselves to claim they knew Barry at all. I wonder why? How many articles has the media done on little Barry's Indonesia days, memorizing the Qur'an, his Communist and radical Muzzie mentors or even mentioned that Frank Marshall Davis is his biological Father?
I'll be willing to bet the farm that George Obama in Nigeria doesn't come close to sharing the same DNA as the usurping jackass who's squatting in our WH.
What are the chances Barry would submit to a test? He does have a step brother alive but I seriously doubt he'd submit to that test either.
