What's the big deal? Why is he hiding? Is his superpack really the Communist Red Chinese? Like I suspect. America is getting so screwed the last 10 years I want to know too.

Republicans need to attack Obama and forget about attacking each other. By the way, have you heard that one of Obama's TOP donors was the one in charge of Bain Capital during steal company's layoffs????????? Bet not, because the left wing Media is afraid to report TRUTH.

If people are going to DEMAND proof of Obamas birth (along with everything else) then why not do the same thing to Romney? What is done to one candidate should be done to all regardless of party affiliations OR COLOR!!!!

When Oblah blah releases all of his sealed records he can worry about what Romney is hiding. Right now I am more concerned by what Obama is hiding.

No reason to but he will release at least two years - Here is what we know - he is rich, gives a great deal to charity (probably more than most will earn in a life time) - after that, who cares - IRS is happy

I am not and wonder why anyone is - obviously the IRS is happy - tempest in a very tiny teapot. I am, however, concerned by the crony capitalism of Obama - paying off donors with our hard earned tax dollars seems much more important than dreary tax returns. I know just silly - but there it is; I am more concerned with how Obama spends our money than how Romney spends his own money

She thinks he is hiding something because Obama told her he is hiding something. Some people just can not think for themselves, don't waste your time trying to convince people who don't give a crap about what Obama has hidden, they are hypocrites.
Obama and his followers are desperate....it shows big time!

That's always so funny the way you people try to divert the conversation back to Obama. It tells us all how frustrated you really are and how worried. lol Plus it tells us that you have no concrete evidence of anything the president has done, and you're just grasping at straws now. lol See you at the polls, pal, be sure to bring lot of tissues for those tears. ahahahahahahah

reply
zbacku to **Starz... 2012/07/18 17:10:38

What's not so funny is the fact that Liberals turn their eyes from the TRUTH. Obama's campaign LIES through it's teeth and all you can do is try to deflect from that fact.
If there was no Double Standard the Left would have no Standard at all.

He is not alone, MANY of our candidates "hide" something !! At times they give us the taxes (and vote themselves out of particating in paying). Many of our leaders find ways of "hiding" assets. In a special fund (not in their names), family trusts, "blind trusts", putting assets in childrens' names, their pets' names (crazy) separate "corporations" etc.

Catch 22 for Mitt here. Needs to think about this and decides if the election is worth it. The people are getting smarter and wiser to the ones on Capital Hill so better think twice and make sure.

Romney has real credibility issues. First, their is Bain Capital and now his tax returns. By failing to come forward, he is basically telling me he has things to hide. So, what's new? But he has other serious anchors around his neck. Why is he fighting Romneycare after the court ruled it OK? Did Boehner and the Repubs force him? It's all not good. I will bet there is more...

Because most republicans are "terrified " of the press! They know the average person in the USA is a moron! They will believe anything that is said!

If Mitt Romney gives 10 years of Tax returns the press and the "Democrats" (AKA: Communist) will ask why he did not give them 20 years of Tax returns!

The fact is if you use your brain at all. You know the USA has a big problem with work ethic and morality! There are far to many cultures we are trying to please and when we run out of money we will go in to Civil War over it!
I understand no one want to face this but that is where we are going!

The posting is proof! once again "BOB" want to force his point of view to his thinking! That is why he puts so many choices up there because he know the average person is to lazy to write there comments!

So he like the press control the message!!

Nice try!!!!! "BOB"

Be careful what you say about the average American as you are one of them too. People are getting smarter and are learning not to listen to folks who think they know what is best for us.

We as Americans are using more tools to search and find credibility of people and think a little more about who we want to represent us. Mitt is not for the average people by a long shot.
