So Mitt thinks Theresa Heinz Kerry's tax records are relevant. Let me get this straight...

A large chunk of Mitt's money is in overseas accounts and under his wife's name.

Has Ann Romney released any of her tax returns?

Methinks this line of attack is not the wisest way to go for the Mittster.

^^^ memo to the Obama campaign ^^^

1. i heard that and i was like

wtf? really is he just making crap up ?

[trumad]

2. This may go down as one of the most inept campaigns of all time.

And I really thought McCain would hold that one for a long time.

[warrior1]

3. He's an idiot

JK release his tax returns. Oh and Mitt, Theresa wasn't running for POTUS.

[lunatica]

4. All of his lines of attack may be just as bad

I think it's possible Obama will be chasing Romney all over the chessboard saying, "Check" at every move, until he says, "Check mate." in November.

24. I went to a chess tournament when I

was in 10th grade. I sat down to play the first game and in 5 minutes took this girl's rook with my queen and destroyed the whole rank. It was so quick that I decide to start pushing my pawns for queens, just killing time. I expected her to push her king over and quit, but she kept moving her king around. When she declared stalemate, my jaw hit the floor!

That was a lesson that i've never forgotten.

5. He is not used to thinking this strategically.

He thinks through his wallet..."How much money will it cost me to win this prize?" While I don't expect for a minute that he'll back out of the race, it wouldn't be implausible. He's just not used to being questioned, or having opponents who will fight back. His entire life has been about him getting his way.

Even at Bain, they were offering him his own freaking division of the company for him to do with what he wanted, but he wouldn't accept it unless there was a cover story pre-drafted for him if he failed, and that he could have his old job back. He has never, ever had to accept "failure" as actual human beings know it.

6. R

[Bluerthanblue]

7. and J. Kerry isn't fighting to keep tax cuts that would

directly benefit him either. As a matter of fact he's encouraging ending them, along with Pres. Obama- who would also be subject to higher taxes as a result.

Plus, John Kerry isn't running for president right now. So what does that have to do with anything.

He's getting increasingly desperate.

8. Do you have a quote? this seems crazy...EDIT: Nvm...I found it, link here..

http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/07/romney-tax-returns-teresa-heinz-kerry.php

I'm starting to wonder if rMoney is TRYING to lose

this is crazy

THK wasn't running for office

[progressivebydesign]

11. the most striking thing is that there are NO posts on it defending him.

even the freepers can't find it in their heart to defend that clusterfuck of idiocy.

David Gregory, however, needs to be called out for NOT knowing that Kerry released 20 years of tax returns, not two. He let that stand and it was BS.

[tanyev]

21. David Gregory's too distracted trying to remember the choreography

for his next dance routine with Karl Rove.

[Blanks]

9. Maybe he'll get lucky and get more votes for president than Kerry does...

...oh darn it; Kerry isn't running this time. he should be careful who he tries to bring into the race; he may take away the bronze.

Over the weekend the wife and I went to Romney's site looking for the '59 points' that they were talking about on 'Brit Hume's love fest' on Fox News Sunday (that may not be the actual name of the program).

What we found was a term that we were not familiar with. We looked it up, and basically one of Romney's 'plans' is to eliminate taxes on profits made overseas. Apparently if you've made money 'off shore'; the mean old federal government won't let you bring that money back to the states without paying taxes on it.

However, Ta-Da, a Romney presidency will allow you to bring that money tax free back to the states.

Now, I don't personally know anyone who would benefit from this, but I bet all of you are as excited about this great new way to reward the 'job creators', as I am.

10. Can you please add the link to this (someone posted it below for you) It's SO amazing to read!!

The thread needs some context, because it's a doozy!!!

http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/07/romney-tax-returns-teresa-heinz-kerry.php

Using Kerry's wife as his excuse not to release his returns, AND lying that Kerry himself only released two years.. he released 20.

Wow... desperation, much?

[WilliamPitt]

12. Done

[Bluerthanblue]

13. Both THK and Cindy McCain did release tax records

under pressure to do so.

So, let's see Ann's Mitt.

[GeorgeGist]

14. Gee Will ...

did you know that Teresa Heinz is not Barack Obama's wife.

[WilliamPitt]

15. ...

[berni_mccoy]

16. Epic Fail,Mitt. Mitt, Mitt, Mitt....If you had filed your returns separately from Ann's, ...

we wouldn't be asking for hers either. We're not asking for Ann's, we're asking for YOURS Mitt! Now stop whining and show us the returns!

[WilliamPitt]

17. I put this on my FB wall, and the campaign blog at The Nation picked it up

See the post at 2:25.

[nichomachus]

18. But Martha Washington released her tax returns n/t

[The Wizard]

19. Because Mitt is an idiot

Being devoid of ethics does not constitute intelligence. Bernie Madoff made a ton of money.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

20. Rmoney's claim is a dog whistle to identify a false equivalency for the MSM to use, re-use, + re-use

How do you get him and the MSM to stop using false equivalancies? Or at least focus their attention on one or more real issues?

Encourage the DOJ to do its job and prosecute open and notorious felons. If it is now publicly known that Rmoney is a felon, prosecute him.

Prosecute him on the evidence. Then, let's see him and the MSM spin it.

[WilliamPitt]

23. "How do you get him and the MSM to stop using false equivalancies?"

Ask for Ann Romney's tax returns.

Period. End of file.

[Rex]

22. Don't think about it too much you will get a headache.

I think their ehm...'strategy' is such a lost cause that trying to figure it out will bring about severe headaches.
