If the GOP allows Mitt's Nomination to go through, they lose ALL credibility on the TAX debate.

[LaydeeBug]

for if you make over $250,000.00 per year, we want to raise your taxes, AND THAT'S A PRIVATE MATTER WE ARE NOT WILLING TO DISCUSS.

In fact, EVERY DEBATE henceforth can turn into, "I'm not going to discuss the American People's PRIVATE TAX MATTERS with you".

They will lose this...FOREVAH!

They also deserve that, just for being assholes.

1. They also admit that we are RIGHT about them if they try to swap Mitt out for someone else.

[LaydeeBug]

10. actually, NO they don't...

They can say his lack of candor isn't part of their platform and just go with that.

They don't admit anything at all.

11. Powerful politics goes on without words, or is the opposite of the words you hear, especially from

Republicans and the media.

Behavior speaks louder than words and you and I are referring to a class of behaviors here that goes down in secret amongst groups of principles in private boardrooms, you know . . . the ones who actually run this country and, whether the plutocracy agrees or not with what they see going on out here in the public domain, they do respond to it in ways that have to do with their perceptions of its various significances; one of which is that the average public understanding of the fact that Mitt Romney refused to show his tax returns, like presidential candidates usually do, and he, as hypothetically proposed, ran away from the situation by agreeing to be swapped out in the Republican race for the presidency and replaced with a different person, is because he has something to hide, which is what we Democrats have been saying for quite some time now, ergo, his hypothetical running away would commonly be regarded as proof that Democrats are right that Mitt Romney is hiding something a whole lot of people would regard as bad and damaging to innocent others.

2. And that's raise taxes on the amount OVER $250K that you make. They get the same cut that the

rest of us, those making under $250K, get on their first $250K of income.

9. that's crazy. nt

3. How much I wish that MSM have the gut to insist on that.

But alas, the will play their usual equal opportunity blame game and the rePIGs will be let off the hook again as usual.

[LaydeeBug]

6. We don't need THEM to insist that, we need them to REPORT that *we* are saying that nt

4. Returns are private information in and of themselves, but the RATES are a PUBLIC matter, because

they apply to everyone, whether some are actually paying them or not.

[1-Old-Man]

5. Actually I think Mitt validates their tax policy, he pays no taxes and he got rich

He is the poster child for low tax rates resulting in greater personal wealth. He pays none and he very well may be a Billionaire.

[ashling]

7. They never had any credibility on the tax debate

or any other, for that matter

[LaydeeBug]

8. but they certainly think they do, and this discredits them on THEIR turf. nt
