Zuggi 2012/08/18 15:32:34Because they want to dig up dirt.
+9Because Romney and Ryan want to cut the tax rate on the richest; if Obama can show that the richest already pay a lower rate than the vast majority of Americans that shows that the real class warfare is being waged by the rich against the middle class.
If Romney can't trust the American people enough to show us his records, why should we trust him.
The most likely reason Mitt is hiding his returns is that they contain evidence of at least 2 felonies. 1) If he filed his primary residence was Utah when he was running for governor of Massachusetts (a felony) and 2) Tax Amnesty for his admitted previously held Swiss Bank Accounts. If the Romneys had filed under the Tax Amnesty program they would have had to first admit they committed a felony by sheltering income in Switzerland.
Statements made by the Romneys indicate an extremely high possibility that either if not both of the above are true. That is not just "dirt" ... That is grounds for disqualification.
Existing Passport Records of Stanley Ann Dunham:

The earliest record is for a 1968 renewal of her passport dated July 19, 1965 which extended her passport a further 2 years to July 18, 1970. Pub. L. 86-267 in 1959 stated the initial term of a passport to be 3 years and renewal to 5 years, therefore the July 1965 passport can only be her first passport since it had to be renewed 3 years later, which she did on August 13, 1968 through the US Embassy in Indonesia. If it was a second renewal, she wouldn't have had to file until 1970.
On July 26, 1968, Pub. L. 90-428 provided provisions that "a passport or passport visa be limited to a period of three years, that a passport be renewed pursuant to regulations of the Secretary for a period not to exceed two years, provided that the final date of expiration not be more than five years from the original date of issue, that the Secretary be authorized to limit the validity of a passport, passport visa, or period of renewal of a passport to less than two years." - Therefore her 1968 renewal application was renewed unti...

Also, there are no records of Barack Obama Sr. leaving the country until 1965, which matters unless you are implying she went to Kenya to have a baby by herself.
This proves the President was born IN THE UNITED STATES without even needing to look at a birth certificate as his mother could not have held a valid passport to travel anywhere else in 1961. If you still don't believe it was Hawaii.. fine. Call it Cleveland then. It doesn't matter.
Birther logic: "I'm a US citizen and about to have a baby so I think I'll fly halfway around the world to have it in a 3rd World country - without a passport."
But now that you mention it, Mitt Romney has also failed to provide his Certified Long Form Birth Certificate. He has only presented an abstract of birth from a State where his father formerly held the Governor's seat. The document Mitt provided contains no original information - only a computer record of data "on file." When President Obama presented his abstract, Cons said that was unacceptable and demanded a Long Form Birth Certificate.
Its only OK for the White Guy, right?
There is a much greater chance Mitt was born outside the United States than Obama. The President's mother was on an island with no passport. Mitt's family has had ties to Mexico for generations and travel between the US and Mexico was virtually unrestricted in 1947.

Now explain why the President must provide a Certified Long Form Birth Certificate but Mitt Romney does not.
QUID PRO QUO. Answer my question first. You claim your demand for the President's Birth Certificate is not motivated by race. Explain why the President must provide a Certified Long Form Birth Certificate but Mitt Romney does not.
The felonies in Mitt's tax returns will disqualify him for the Presidency, not where he was born.
"ITS ONLY OK FOR THE WHITE GUY"
"Miles Park Romney and his three wives and various children were then sent to settle St. Johns, Ariz., as part of the church leadership’s plan to settle across the entire American West. St. Johns was not particularly welcoming to the Mormon newcomers, and after various threats to hang the lot of them, the polygamous Romney family was told to try Mexico instead."
"Gaskell Romney moved to Mexico when his father helped to found the Mormon colony in Colonia Dublán, Galeana, Chihuahua, Mexico, in 1885. The Romney families lost their holdings in Chihuahua during the Mexican Revolution and in 1912 Romney moved back to the United States. Eventually he was reimbursed by the Mexican government for some of his losses. He married in 1895 to Anna Amelia Pratt. Romney was the father of five sons: Maurice, Douglas, Miles Pratt Romney, George W. Romney, Lawrence and Charles. Gaskell himself was a candidate for County Commissioner 1931 as a Republican. He died in Salt Lake City, Utah, on March 7, 1955 and is buried in Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park in the city"

Incidentally, note that: "Eventually he was reimbursed by the Mexican government for some of his losses." The Mexican Government would not have done this unless they were Mexican Citizens. Additionally, you are actually attempting to imply that the Romneys established a Mormon Colony in Mexico as illegal aliens. That in itself is absurd. They were Mexican Citizens. How hard do you think it was to become a Mexican Citizen in 1885? $2 and sign your name or make your mark.
