Geez Dems on TV today .....When asked about repudiating Reid this is what you should say !

And I am a nobody...but can come up with a better answer than Axelrod and Debbie Wasserman Schultz

[font size =3][font color=blue]Question: Are you willing to repudiate Harry Reid?

Answer: "When someone running for the highest office in the land hides his finances, ALL anyone has to go on is what other people say and what they hear from insiders.

The real question should be, do YOU repudiate Mitt Romney for his UNSUBSTANTIATED claims that he paid all his taxes and didn't break any laws? "

Or did the networks put weak, blue dogs on as their token guests?

more, but can't think of anyone offhand


I don't know who's fault it is but you would think that every Saturday, until the election, there would be a strategy session and brainstorm with the most excellent Democratic debaters. Everyone going on TV would participate. Almost like debate prep.

I nominate Mario Cuomo as a member of this group.

Van Jones quoted him on This Week, but the genuine article is the most effective. (Not that Jones did badly against the stacked panel.)

The more elaborate response is "He wants us to allow him to be the most powerful person in the world. There is evidently something very bad in those returns that he doesn't want anybody to see. But there are people who know what is in there. Would this put those people in a position of blackmailing Romney: for a cushy job, for special treatment on government contracts, to start a war? The American people need to have confidence that their President does not have a past that opens him to blackmail of the whole nation."

stick his neck out so far and endorse him so strongly. I don't think he likes him much anyway. He railed
against the huge government subsidy for the St Lake City Olympics.

Perhaps he knows something and is blackmailing Robme?

Why don't we just call it "agreeing to work together", if we understand each other.

"....just show the tax returns."

"Romney wants you and me to punish Harry Reid for boldly seeking to know if the man has been honest with the American people. That's called TRIANGULATION and the American people don't like it. Most Americans have nothing to hide regarding taxes and they want their president to be just as transparent."

his own business and Reid made an attack on him. That average person could say, "hey, none
of your business."

But there was a CAUSE for Reid's EFFECT. Robme is running for president.

Rachel said it perfectly the other night. He wants us just to trust him. What he says is true. He obeyed all laws and paid all taxes. These statements are unsubstantiated. And, she proved he lied about taxes before.

When as Governor of Massachusetts he had his staff buy up all of the computers so they could destroy all of the data on the hard drives preventing any incriminating evidence being used against them.
