Harry Reid, the Democratic Senate Majority Leader, has made it very clear that he has a "reputable source" telling him that Mitt Romney has not paid taxes for a time period of about ten years -- and that he wants the Republican presidential candidate to prove with tax returns that he has. Do you think all this tax-return talk is integral to the election -- or is it just a distraction?

NYDAILYNEWS.COM reports:
Mitt Romney strongly denied Sen. Harry Reid's repeated, insistent claims that he did not pay taxes for a decade during a press conference in the Senate Majority Leader's home state of Nevada on Friday. "I have paid taxes every year, and a lot of taxes, so Harry is wrong," Romney said.

It will never be enough. We have it from a very reliable source that Harry Reid is a pedophile.

What would you call it? Heck! I'd call you a traitor too of I knew where you shopped and what you bought. I bet you support "communist" China more than the USA, and you probably are one of those people that cry that the progressives are socialists and communists. lol

Yeah - Mittens is a traitor to the USA, but why would that be surprising so is Obama.

Why did his father release his tax records? Maybe because George Romney was an honest man.

Why do think calling the President "Hussain" is such a big strike against him? That's his name. The right is not witty or cleaver saying his middle name. Ronald Reagan had no problem dealing with King Hussein of Jordan. Just like changing the name of snack food, (French Fries to Freedom Fries) it makes conservatives sound petty and foolish.

if he wanted to, he could make this all go away by just showing us. doesnt he want to prove that he did things the right way? the fact that he isnt showing us all of them is whats making this suspicious. we all know his record of sending jobs overseas, it should be pretty clear as to why he hasnt released them all yet....romneys just another joke in our government. cant believe the republicans chose him, pathetic.

Obummer has sent 1000's of jobs overseas, Romney didn't. The company's that his company overhauled were all headed to bankruptcy, 100% of them, 80% recovered only 20% were closed down. But he didn't save them by sending job overseas. You need to look at the facts and do some research before you quote the distortions from the left leaning thugs.

Nick A to WOODMAN34 2012/08/11 06:19:05

obummer? i dont like the guy either, but grow up. name calling is something you should have left in kindergarten. ever hear of bain capital? a private equity firm that invested in companies that were sending jobs overseas to china and inda. romney is the founder of that company. take your own advice please.

How can you say that Romney is a traitor and Obummer is not? Obummer was bought and payed for by people like George Soroes and bows to the will of other country's and has U.N. troops in the U.S. with his privet army and concentration camps, The list is endless and if don't get rid of who ever he is we will not have a country for long.

reply
Dave to WOODMAN34 2012/08/11 06:07:14

Did I say Obama is not? Every president from Reagan on has been a traitor to this country. In 1937 FDR warned us against the corporatists and Reagan let them in the front door of the White House.

And shut up with your FOX commentary - you act like FOX and Limbaugh are the word of the lordy Jesus. lol You are so incredibly clueless as to what's going on that you listen to the corporatist media.

Well, at least the Republicans fielded a candidate with more character and integrity than the current President, Barack Obama.

reply
Lee to POWERSH... 2012/08/11 00:31:01

Wrong.

Romney can't come close to matching Obama in character and integrity.

Obama revealed 12 years of his tax records.

Romney can't come close.

Why did you Republicans choose such a dishonorable candidate?

reply
POWERSH... to Lee 2012/08/11 10:41:16

I'll say it again. Romney has much more character and integrity than Obama. That's why we know Romney is a Mormon, because he doesn't bounce around, declaring himself to be a Muslim one day and a Christian the next. Obama's been both just to get elected.

reply
Lee to POWERSH... 2012/08/12 16:41:34

Obama has never declared himself to be Muslim.

Why do you Right Winger lies so much?

I'll tell you why . . . It's because the facts are rarely on your side.

reply
POWERSH... to Lee 2012/08/12 17:51:06

What in the world do you mean? He was a Muslim when he was a child. When Obama was listed in Fransiskus Assisi school in Jakarta, His father registered his son as “Muslim." Also, here's another picture of Obama in Muslim attire:

So What?

It's not unusual for people, especially politicians, to don traditional native costumes when visiting some foreign country.

GW wore a sombrero and a poncho when he visited Mexico.

Did that mean he was a secret Mexican spy?

Of course not.

Try . . . Just Try . . . NOT to to be an idiot.

I wish I could say, "I know you can do it."

If it looks like a Muslim, smells like a Muslim and acts like a Muslim, it's a Muslim. If it looks like a duck, smells like a duck and acts like a duck, it's a duck, dude.

Well . . . If it smells, it's probably just some delusional Right Wing Nut job luxuriating in his own toxic vomit.
