A Democrat and a Republican talk about the speculation over what's in Mitt Romney's tax returns:
Republican: Wow, it was really irresponsible of Harry Reid to say someone told him Mitt Romney had paid no taxes of the past decade.
Democrat: How so?
Republican: Well, Reid doesn't have any proof. He's just got speculation.
Democrat: And you think if he's going to make a claim about what's in Mitt Romney's tax returns, then he should offer proof?
Republican: Exactly.
Democrat: Fair enough. But by that standard shouldn't Romney prove that he's telling the truth about his returns?
Republican: This isn't about Mitt Romney. It's about Harry Reid.
Democrat: How so?
Republican: Well, Reid doesn't have any proof. He's just got speculation.
Democrat: And you think if he's going to make a claim about what's in Mitt Romney's tax returns, then he should offer proof?
Republican: Exactly.
Democrat: Fair enough. But by that standard shouldn't Romney prove that he's telling the truth about his returns?
Republican: This isn't about Mitt Romney. It's about Harry Reid.

(135,425 posts)1. Flip that burger....hear the sizzle!
Anyone besides me think that the source of Reid's information was his "business" compatriot, a fellow with whom he does "business" across the aisle regularly....
John McCain?
We know HE saw those returns.
We know he saw those returns AND thought Palin was the "better" choice!

it is about one person named Romney who will not release his tax returns for fear of what others will think about his past taxes paid or unpaid.
