Romney releasing his Tax Returns is as important to me as Obama releasing his Educational Transcripts.


Not very important at all.
A reminder for kentay:
I fully support going back to ALL, that says ALL THE CLINTON TAX and spend policies that led to the economic boom in the second half of the 90's.

They were important enough to John McCain to the extent that they actually made Sarah Palin look good. Any tax records that make Sarah Palin look good are important enough to see now.

OK, What is the law about Tax Records?  Some say two years, some say 10 years.  How many does a candidate have to release?

Different candidates have released different numbers of tax returns to the public, and all of them exceed the number of returns Romney released. The candidate that set the record on the number of released tax returns was Romney's dad: 12 years' worth.

Romney released twice that to the McCain campaign during the veep vetting process and then lost out to Sarah Palin. He must still be smarting over making Sarah look like the better choice.

The biggest problem with the candidates is their Parties. They both suck.

This is 2012.  John McCain is out of the picture.  Remember, your candidates motto is Forward.

Wow, that was some pretty crappy typing on my part. 

I'll give him [Obama] the speaking props over Romney.  But he is one hell of a fiction writer.

I feel the same way.  It boils down to this: Obama wins on style and Romney wins on content.  Modern liberals are driven by emotion and conservatives are driven by reason.  It's no wonder each side has the candidate they do.

YOU and others only hear what you want to hear or what you are told to hear.  I have heard Obama.  It is the same as 4 years ago.

Just to remind you he released the plan you claim not to have heard during the primaries.  I know some news sources want you to believe he has not.

A typical reaction from the left.  They can't understand how reducing the burden government places on business will spur growth.  The left thinks that government spending and government stimulus programs create growth, and it does, but the problem is it grows government at the expense of the private sector.  By doing absolutely nothing Romney is better than Obama.  I'd like to see Romney propose some significant cuts but if he ain't going to do that it's still better than the harmful and wasteful spending another Obama term will surely bring.

Interesting because I hear Obama running on his record. I haven't heard him mention hope or change even once, so you can't make a legit claim that he's saying the same things as he did the first time he ran. I've heard him mention accomplishments.

Romney, on the other hand talks in generalities and avoids specifics at all costs. I hear Romney brush off even those in his own party who demand that he release more tax returns. Have you heard Rupert Murdoch or Bill Crystal lately?  Apparently not.

Try again.

Then why did you avoid posting a link to it anywhere on the web? Try again.

After the reduction in the burden on government on banks and outsources resulted in a crashed U.S. economy and reduction in jobs, everybody whether left or indifferent understand what REALLY happens under deregulation. Try again.

Nope. Large corporations running about unsupervised results in corporate growth at the expense of the small business private sector. Large corporations write the laws via lobbyists that the small business private sector can't afford. Try again.

By doing nothing, you get an approval rating equal to that of the current House of Representatives: in the single digits.  When our house is burning down, I'm thankful Romney's not getting out the marshmallows, but dammit, he should at least help out the bucket brigade since he cut funding for fire trucks.
