Perhaps it's because he already said he would release his 2011 return when it is complete.
Perhaps it's because he already released his financial disclosure statements which is the only requirement.
Perhaps it's because he's following the Kennedy trend, which none of the three ever released a single tax return during their careers.
Perhaps it's because the convention hasn't even taken place and he hasn't received the nomination yet.
Perhaps it's because he has been properly vetted and proven to be eligible to run for, and hold the office of POTUS.

Why won't Mitt Romney Release his Tax Returns?

BECAUSE HE IS TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT HE IS IN BUSINESS WITH CRIMINALS, THAT THERE ARE YEARS HE PAID NO TAXES EVEN THOUGH HE MADE MILLIONS SENDING AMERICAN JOBS TO COMMUNIST CHINA....KILLING SOME EMPLOYEES WHO LOST THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE.
Blood Money Started Bain Capital
Romney supporters are stating these are personal and non important. I beg to differ. I think
that a Presidential Candidate, suggesting cutting taxes once again on
the wealthiest Americans and whose company, Bain Capital was started
with monies gained from not only foreign but unscrupulous sources is
very relevant. Mr. Romney's reveal any conflict of interest or ties to
foreign companies that may not have the best interest of this wonderful
country we all love. The President released his. But what do many use
to drive this point home? They use conspiracy nonsense such as the
non-existent birther controversy and other attempts at guilt by
association. All which have been debunked and truly have no bearing on
his ability to continue to be President. Those claims were created by
Conservative Operatives blowing a racist dog whistle to appeal to those
who might prejudge the President because of his color, name and family
history.
I find it amazing that the same people who wanted to see everything from Obama's "long form" birth certificate to his grade school teacher notes, and who he might have attend a board meeting with to the Christian Church that he as "alleged Muslim attended". CAN YOU BE ANY MORE HYPOCRITICAL. Romney moved jobs, good American Jobs to China, for nothing more than more profit, these companies were making money but if you can use EXPLOITED COMMUNIST SLAVE LABOR AND NOT PAY A LIVING WAGE OR HEALTH INSURANCE(who cares if some of the employees die because they lost their benefits.
WHO CAN FORGET THE NEW YORK TIMES FULL PAGE WHERE ROMNEY WANTED TO SEE GM AND CHRYSLER GO BANKRUPT....Did he see an opportunity to buy these companies cheap and move them to China and use more communist labor?
Yes Bain made money but at what cost, THEY EXPORTED AMERICAN JOBS FROM PROFITABLE COMPANIES CUTTING LABOR AND PRODUCTION COSTS SIGNIFICANTLY BUT DID THE PRICE OF THE PRODUCTS GO DOWN....HELL NO...THE ONLY THINGS THAT WENT DOWN IS QUALITY AND THE NUMBER OF AMERICANS MAKING A LIVING WAGE. Romney moves jobs to a communist country and Obama is the socialist? Pathetic.

As for class envy. We all know there is class envy. Keeping up with the Joneses isn't a popular phrase for nothing. There has been and always will be class envy. Once again that's just another excuse not to put them out there.
If Romney put his returns out there it will end the "speculation" he is hiding something if he's not and that will be the end of it, period. Nitpicking will then hurt the dems if they do it. No more excuses my friend. If he's not afraid of something in there then put them out and end all this once and for all but if he doesn't most on the left, some on the right but most importantly those in the middle the independents will think he's dirty.
But if you cite examples of Republicans circling the wagons for wrongdoers, what happens in most cases is Republicans distance themselves from the scandal (especially if particularly well-known Republicans are up for election soon).
The circling the wagons scenario is much more prominent in Democrat party scandal coverups, where not only are the offenders supported by droves of Democrat excuse-makers (and the national media machine spearheaded by the likes of Chris Mathews, Rachel Maddow and Ed Schultz), but the offenders usually end up with better jobs than they had before the scandal (let us never forget the greatest one of them all, when Ted Kennedy got away with murder and his constituents still kept voting him back into office term after term after term).
My wife's sister has a sister-in-law whose son was sent to prison for the same type of crime that Ted committed (he was drunk while driving a car that crashed and one of his passengers died in the crash). He didn't have the money and political influence like Ted to keep him out of prison.
Now you know why many of us on the left are so opposed to wealth and power buying their way out of trouble. You on the right think wealth is a show of success or hard work. Not always. Some people just have it handed to them like Kennedy and Romney. And many get away with crimes like Kennedy or what Romney is hiding in his tax returns. And before you say he isn't guilty of anything then let him prove it. Put out his returns for the last 6 years at least.
Since the last time I was here, Joe Biden did it again. If you're honest, you know damn well that if a Republican had thrown that turd in the pool, the liberal pundits would be talking about it for a week--I haven't heard squat from them about it unless they get cornered into talking about it by somebody else.
I have to admit to not having watch Al Sharpton's show regarding the Biden gaffe (I have tried to watch Sharpton's show in the past and couldn't stand it for more than a couple of minutes). The source where I saw that Al was upset was Yahoo! News, and that source is far from being a Republican water carrier. Anyway, the political ads now sure seem to contain a lot of misinformation (even the ones in my own local election area in the far northern Detroit suburbs). They can't wait to build another bridge over the Detroit River to Windsor to waste even more money that a bankrupt city doesn't have!
I feel the same way about Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh. After 30 seconds with those to people I feel like barfing. If only one of them had more then a high school diploma I'd feel more comfortable listening to them.
I said I watched Sharpton waiting for my baseball games which usually comes on at 7:05. He comes on at 6pm and I watch the local news from 6pm to 6:30 pm so I don't watch much but I do watch sometimes not every day but personally I like Maddow if I'm going to watch anyone or Smarconish when he fills in for Mathews who I'm not a fan of. Smarconish is a conservative radio host from Philidelphia but he isn't a radical he's a common sense republican in other words he's a dinosaur, almost extenct. If I do watch Fox it would likely be Shep Smith. He's pretty good.
I have also heard Rush explain his personal history many times and he honestly declares that he was not a good performer in the school-type environment during his youth, but he had always had an overwhelming desire to be on the radio and broadcasting his personal views. It took him a few job experiences in that field before he met an employer who agreed to permit him to do that, first in California, and then later on a larger network of stations.
As far as the other person you mentioned, I suspect that you meant Michael Smerconish (not the way you spelled it above). I have never heard or seen him speak, but I bought a book that he wrote while I was shopping at a Barnes & Noble store several years ago. It is entitled "Muzzled" with a copyright date of 2006. The flysheet says that he was broadcasting on a Philadelphia station WPHT and was a columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News. The book is full of his personal experiences of being censored for non-PC speech and also relates other stories of the same tre...

One last item for this post: I saw while I was surfing other categories within SodaHead today under the Entertainment heading something that might interest a Giant fan! It was a photo of a kid with his hair cut into the New York football Giants (as Cosell used to say) logo along with his sideburns and facial hair sculpted to look like he was wearing a football helmet with face guard! Go check it out and add your input to the comments thread!
Thanks for the info on the Giant fan but I am quite conservative in how I look or how I think I like others to look although everyone has the right to dress or wear their hair as they please. I haven't worn anything stupid since the old beer can hats of the 70's. Now they were stupid looking. Now Oakland fans know how to do it up with their dressing up for games. They're my favorites.
Good ol' Howard and the NY football Giants. I almost forgot about that.
