Theory: The RNC is scared shitless about the fact Reid knows the truth on Romney and they don't

[Justice wanted]

have anything on Reid to hold against him to quiet Reid down so they are starting to throw mud like "Dirty Liar" because Romney isn't going to get away with what he did running for Gov BUT the RNC is behind close doors looking into Plan B if Romney doesn't find a way to make all this go away OR has to drop out.

[TheCowsCameHome]

1. This is the good Dirty Harry.

The Eastwood guy that just endorsed Mitt - not so much.

[zeemike]

17. Oh shit...

Someone needs to photo shop a picture of dirty Harry with Reid's face on it...Go ahead Rmoney make my day!

[KansDem]

35. "Dirty Harry"

I know what you're thinking. "Did he ask for 10 years' worth of 1040s or only one?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a bid to be President of the United States, the most powerful office in the world, and would require you coming squeaky clean right now, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

38. Bwahaha! Please make and OP out of that! It'll be great!

41. +100000

[russspeakeasy]

2. I am lovin this !!!!!!!!

GO HARRY !!!!!!

[southernyankeebelle]

3. Mittens need to prove he is a liar. Show us the papers.

[savannah43]

24. Good One!!!

[southernyankeebelle]

37. Thank you. It is pretty simple. It seems quiet little Reid has him in a corner.

[freshwest]

39. "Always watch out for the quiet ones..."

[southernyankeebelle]

43. yep that's what my momma told me. LOL

[Curtland1015]

4. This is already legitimately bothering some repub voters.

They don't like it and they don't like him.

But they're stuck with him.

Fortunately for us.

[The Wielding Truth]

5. Reid just said that he heard it from a Bain investor. Right? So how could he be a liar about the no-

tax accusation? He could only be accused of lying about hearing about Mitt's Tax scandal. I have heard that Mitt boasted to many Bain investors how he hasn't paid taxes in 10 years. I am not lying that I heard that. If Graham knows for sure that that was not said and that the Mitt has paid he should encourage Mitt to show his returns.

[DearAbby]

11. Mitt by his very response

tells us, He is hiding something, he is scared (responding to a senator instead of ignoring it to confront the President) and there is someone who knows about it.

You don't say, "Oh Yeah, Says who?"

Reid is very respected within the Church, and he has the same circle of friends within that church as Romney. If there was a Member, concerned about what Romney is doing. Wouldn't he confide in an Elder of the Church?

I noted Romney didnt call Reid a liar...the minions will do that for him. But he did let it slip that there is someone who knows.

[Jessy169]

21. Mitt not sleeping too well these days

No doubt Romney knows several or more likely sources who may have passed the secret dirt on to Reid. It must be driving him crazy trying to figure out where this info is coming from.

And I believe you are right, Mitt is acting just like you'd expect a guilty person to act -- denials, counter-accusations, demanding apologies -- all classic "I'm guilty but I'll never admit it" behavior.

[The Wielding Truth]

47. Mitt is a slippery conman with a salesman smile. His actions sicken me.

[RedStateLiberal]

6. I'm hightly skeptical of any Plan B theory

because they'll never be able to recover from such a PR disaster. The media loves conflict so all they'll be talking about up to election day is how the RNC ditched Romney for some other loser.

I'm just glad they keep having to respond to Reid and his allegations because it keeps Rmoney's tax returns up front and in the attention of the M$M for all of America to hear.

[savannah43]

25. For all the world to hear, after he's made an ass

of himself in multiple countries.
I wonder which bigoted loser they'll pick to replace him?
Did anyone see the "stop digging" ad against BHO on TV yet? Well, let me be the first to apply that advice to Mittens. Do go home and stay there.

[freshwest]

40. Only thing is that I went to find the banner mentioned in the thread about Golden...

The local yokels there brushed that aside, saying you can't believe anything the media says about their guy. But the OP is a hoot anyway, and about this:

LOL! MoveOn.org hired a plane with a banner reading...

A plane hired by the liberal group MoveOn flew overhead with a banner that read: "Welcome back, Mitt. Now release those returns" before he spoke in Golden, Colorado this past Thursday.

[warrprayer]

7. We should hope as well

that our party is coming up with plan B, C, and D to deal with any other opponent should Rmoney be forced out o the race

[MrModerate]

22. Well, it's either one of the other primary candidates . . .

For which they did the opposition research on each other, or some out-of-the-blue candidate (Christie or Bush, I'd say).

Bottom line? They can't do it. They're stuck with Mitt and he's going dowwwwwn.

We need to be paying attention to House, Senate, statehouse, and gubernatorial races.

Cruz, in Texas, is a deeeply cynical and spouts unAmerican nonsense every day. And he's not going to get the Hispanic vote in any significant numbers. That'd be a lovely knock-off, if it can be done.

[Gman]

8. Rest assured there's been several serious conversations

among themselves and with Romney asking WTF does Reid have that we don't know about. Romney knows. But since he doesn't plan on releasing returns, he just says Reid has nothing.

My guess is his returns get leaked to Wikileaks at some point around the middle of September. It has to go through Wikileaks to keep fingerprints off of them.

The RW will attack Wikileaks, but copies will be sent to the NY Times, WaPo, etc. they can distract all they want by attacking Wikileaks, but it won't work.

[think4yourself]

36. That would be great. Never thought about that!

That is the whole purpose of WikiLeaks. Confidential whistleblowing. Say what you want about Assange. While Zuckerberg was using his time to rate the campus coeds"hot or not" Assange came up with this. It was genius and still very necessary.
I would think though, they would have released it already. I don't know.
This waiting game is killing me, but in a good way.
Reminds me of that old Heinz Ketchup commercial...

[bahrbearian]

9. Plan B=, Ron Paul / Sara Palin

[xtraxritical]

20. Man I hope that's pure snark!

Vote straight up Democratic.

[Angry Dragon]

10. The Willard ego is too big for him to consider to drop out

It would negate everything he has done in his life up to this time
It would follow him the rest of his life

[savannah43]

26. Like his governorship?

[efilon]

12. scary theory

Old Dick is looking pretty healthy since his transplant. Think they would dump Romney at the convention and run him? Just a really scary thought I had when I saw an interview with him the other day.

[chervilant]

13. OMG, NOT Darth Cheney!

I wouldn't put it past him...

[bahrbearian]

14. The Repugs will ask him who should be their candidate, and he will tell them "I'll get back to you"

[savannah43]

34. Cheney does not want to APPEAR in charge, or to be legally

in charge for the obvious reasons--criminal prosecutions. I think he would be honored to be VP for a 3rd term. His hand will be up the ass of the puppet playing president, who will then take all of the heat for the war crimes, etc., to be committed thereafter. You know, like last time.

[vlyons]

15. Romney will not drop out, and won't show tax returns

Alas, alas, the GOP is stuck with Mitt. In for a penny, in for a lb. and Romney will get on his high horse (Rafalca??) and proclaim his trust me honesty and pretend that he is an upstanding, law-abiding citizen. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, regular folks of all persuasions are sick of his arrogant lies and BS. There's gonna be a lot of tpugs, who will vote for some 3rd party Libertarian type, or just stay at home and stick their head in the sand, rather than vote for (gag!!) a) a Mormon, b) a serial liar, c) a rich stuck up asshole.

[JDPriestly]

16. When the other side starts calling me names, I know I am winning the argument when

it comes to logic and the facts.

Harry Reid knows what he is talking about, and the Republican defense proves it. They've got nothing -- no defense -- nada.

[Vincardog]

18. Someone should ASK McCain. He saw the returns before he picked Sista Sarah.

[jaysunb]

19. Bingo !

Notice how everyone knows McCain knows, but, they don't ask him.

[blkmusclmachine]

23. Blah blah blah Rmoney tax return.

Anything to talk about except the 5% policy difference that exists between BHO ("D&quot and Rmoney ("$&quot .

[Lochloosa]

42. I'll take this two precent difference...

[patrice]

27. This is because Reid may know which of the 1% actually want a CLEAN$$$$E & which don't. nt

[patrice]

28. Please stay out of small planes, Senator Reid. nt

[MADem]

31. Harry rang a big bell. They can't unring it by doing anything nefarious. They'd just make it worse!

[MADem]

29. Good theory, I'd say!

They don't "get" Harry, though.

Names will never hurt him!

I don't think RNC is actively looking for a replacement....but I'll bet Newt would just love to step up!

[brewens]

30. The insiders have the basic picture on Robme's taxes. McCain had all that.

They know that whatever it is won't piss off a lot of their voters. Wealthy or upper middle class voters that would love to be in the same boat and pay no taxes. They do risk alienating some of their lower income/information voters if the truth gets out That small percentage of true independents is at risk as well.

[MADem]

33. There are not enough rich people to help rMoney win by votes alone. They have to fool the

"little people." These include historical voters, single issue voters, and racist voters--for starters.

Whatever is in those tax returns will piss off the "little people." Even the wingnut "little people."

How do we know this?

They would be RELEASED if there wasn't a problem.

And they are not.

Many of these people won't vote for Obama no matter what. They'll vote for a third party hopeless hopeful, or they will stay home.

[patrice]

32. Anything about Romney has INTERNATIONAL complications, so he can't drop out & they can't swap him.

$21 Trillion 1% -er dollars in FOREIGN accounts under pressure from LIBOR says so.

[cbrer]

44. Welcome to reality Beeatch!

As much as I'm savoring the sweetness of this obvious GOP disaster unfolding, I am wary of the unknown nature of the Republican lies, their persuasive nature (to the weak-minded), and the fickle nature of the American public.

[fascisthunter]

45. of course they do... you think a pack of criminals(GOP) don't know secrets?

Especially of those on their side? These people do not live within the same rules the rest of us do. And yes, they have their folks working within our government.

[99Forever]

46. Harry has done some good stuff...

.. in his career, but this one tops the list. Hit that worthless jerk again Harry, and every time he tries to get up.
