Reince Priebus: I'm done talking Mitt Romney's tax returns

[shawn703]

Source: Politico

RNC Chair Reince Priebus is so tired of talking about Mitt Romney’s tax returns, he said Friday he’s done discussing them.

“Oh boy, we’re going down this road again?” he said, when asked about the returns on CNN’s “Starting Point.”

“We’re going down this road, friend,” anchor Brooke Baldwin replied.

“C’mon, Reince, it’s a perfectly valid question,” Baldwin said, after playing part of a new Obama campaign ad that raises the possibility of Romney not paying any taxes some years. “We deserve to see them.”

[mahatmakanejeeves]

11. Birth certificate ... Kenya ... Birth certificate ... Kenya

.

[Thomas3d]

57. STOP LYING!!!!

The President was born in HAWAII NOT KENYA! If I'm not mistaken, Hawaii IS part of the United States. Get your Facts straight and stop LYING to people!

[Bjorn Against]

65. I am pretty certain the post you were responding to was meant to be sarcastic

[ejbr]

66. Welcome Thomas...

the poster forget to put this emoticon and your post could have used this one...

[mahatmakanejeeves]

69. I second that welcome.

yeah, you're right. I don't worry about it. It's all good.

[kestrel91316]

78. ROFL. Turn your sarcasm meter on. You'll need it on DU.

[Monk06]

63. Chick-fil-A, Chick-fil-A, Chick-fil-A, Papa John, Papa John, Papa John, BOO!!!

[secondwind]

2. I'm sure you are, Reince.... but we aren't.

[1StrongBlackMan]

3. Got that right!

"Reid's only just begunnnn ..."

[closeupready]

39. "to sieve ..."

[1StrongBlackMan]

56. drip drip, drip drip drip drippp

[CoffeeCat]

4. We The People AREN'T done

talking talking about it; therefore what you think is useless and irrelevant.

Next!

[Berlum]

5. Republicans use OCCULTISM to hide the truth

as usual. Unlike Americans, Republicans have a major woodie for the OCCULT.

[flamingdem]

6. Release the Taxen!

[Jackpine Radical]

27. Hee-Hee. Release the IRS 20!

[sellitman]

77. DOZY!!!!!!!!

Release The Taxen? Bwaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!

[flakey_foont]

7. We're not done

[yardwork]

8. There's nothing for him to talk about until we see the tax returns.

Until Romney releases his tax returns there's no point in the Republicans talking about them.

I like the OP - "We'll keep talking about it for you."

lol!

[Botany]

9. Well played Reince

this will just make matters worse for Romney and the repugs.

[nichomachus]

10. If you take the vowels out of Reince Priebus

It's RNC PR BS

[sofa king]

18. Wow, that is so cool!

I mentioned elsewhere that my dirty mind keeps reading his name as, "Penis Rebus."

But I think you just cured me!

[DearAbby]

52. You infected me...

"Penis Rebus."

[sofa king]

53. Yes... I wonder what that would look like?

Look out! The whole paradox is about to blow!

Which is what she said.

[Justice wanted]

12. Well, Reince, Ole Boy, You don't have to talk about them anymore BUT we will.

[Raster]

13. I'm sure Rinse Penis would rather harken back to a simpler time...

...Clinton... blowjob... Monica. Times change.

And no, WE'RE NOT DONE talking about: Rmoney... tax returns... Bain (rinse, repeat).

[SoapBox]

21. Ditto

...and he said Penis.

Hee-hee.

[They_Live]

14. he should hold his breath

until people stop talking about Rmoney's taxes. I double-dog dare him.

But wait, if you've done nothing wrong, then there's nothing to hide. Right?

[The Wielding Truth]

47. That's a good one. If he wants this job he better bring out the taxes and stop lying and deny the

lies of the RW and be a real and honest person and drop the Paul Ryan SS destroying plan and buy Bain Capital again and sell it off bit by bit and spend his time helping in a poor community and stop associating with gangsters like Adleson and Koch Brothers who give to his campaign to extract favors and change laws to benefit them and he must know the workings of foreign relations and realize that people are not corporations and enjoy the achievements of academics and successfulness of work without monetary profit, and the rights of US citizenship do not hinge on being Christian or white or Mormon and that siding with principle is only as good as that principle and Animals deserve to me treated better than luggage and support global warming and respect women by adjusting the restrictive legislature passed and purposed by the RW.

Gee, I better just say he is not the right person for the job. We already have the best person in our current president. Barack Obama.

[Javaman]

15. I love this classic repuke tactic.

by declaring "their done" talking about whatever, they think by saying that they are in control of the issue.

rinced pubes shows his hand by this universally failed tactic.

you might be done, but the press and the people are far from it.

[calimary]

16. Fine, kid. WE'RE NOT.

And good for Brooke Baldwin for pressing it. I'm kinda surprised she didn't just cave like a good like a good little media sympathizer.

[sofa king]

17. When you crucify yourself...

... there is no way to hammer in the last nail.

But we'll be happy to take it from here.

[Jessy169]

19. If Reince Priebus was as smart as he looks

he would take a few cues from the right-wing whacko Yahoo gang. Whenever someone brings up Mitt's hidden tax returns, simply counter-punch with little gems like "Yeah, what about Obama's college records", or the classic "When Obama shows his real birth certificate, Romney will show his taxes". Fortunately for Reince, he's actually a little bit smarter than he looks, so he won't do that.

[SoapBox]

20. Just keep on talking...and if you won't, we WILL!

We will talk, talk, talk about it!

But, I do keep waiting for 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911, 911!

I figures that it's a com'in.

[patrice]

30. Follow the money. Drooling, here . . .

So much on this plate!!!

LIBOR LIBOR LIBOR . . .

[A Simple Game]

32. You won't hear about 911 or anything else military or terrorist.

President Obama is a proven Commander in Chief. Romney is a proven corporate raider. Corporate raider being one step above or below Somali Pirate depending upon your perspective.

[Ikonoklast]

75. Ever since Mr. Obama gave the green light to retire Bin Laden Republicans forgot all about 911.

They got nothing on the national security front or the anti-terrorism front, as the Republican Party has been proven to be ineffectual on both of those subjects.

[AutoZoom]

22. Wash, Reince, Repeat

eom

[NRaleighLiberal]

23. Sorry, Rinse..that would be FAIL. Not nearly done with this issue!

[MiniMe]

24. He hasn't seen them either

[CanonRay]

25. In your dreams

[appleannie1]

26. So what. The people of this country will talk for you.

[Chiyo-chichi]

28. You don't get to dictate the questions, Preibus.

[patrice]

29. That's it. The RNC will NOT be swapping Willard for someone else, probably because ALL of them

have the same problem, likely to do with those "fictitious losses" that team Obama started talking about this week.

[JDPriestly]

31. But we are going to keep talking about them and about the vulture

capitalism, Bain capital model that made Romney and so many in the 1% rich while impoverishing the rest of us.

[tblue37]

33. Like Sarah Palin during her VP debate with Biden, the Republicans

believe they should not have to answer the questions that are asked of them, but only the "questions" they want to answer with their canned talking points.

[catbyte]

34. Awwh, is widdle Rinse Pubis stamping his widdle feet?

Deal with it, douche bag.



What a weenie. Where do they get these clowns?

[DFW]

35. Oh, that's OK Reince

We'll be talking about it enough so that we won't even notice your absence.

[railsback]

36. He must have found out who Reid's source is.

Quadrupling down on the Reid attacks, only to get humiliated on the national stage if the source goes public (and its a Republican), would probably ruin Priebus' life.

[Daemonaquila]

37. Cool.

Hey, Riencey-baby, that's fine with us. We'll just keep it going without 'ya!

[mrkk]

38. limbaugh says he wants to see obama's transcripts

obama showed his tax returns, where is romneys?

when romney shows his college transcripts, obama will show his

keep it simple stupid? tit for tat?

[Herlong]

55. That's great except no one is asking for Willard Rmoney's

College transcripts. We already see him as a dunce with no ability to hold high office.

[Evasporque]

40. Rinse Penis

lol

[Warpy]

41. The country, "Oh, no, you're not."

Reince, honey, the man is applying for the government's plum job. He has to go through a background check to get hired and showing us what he's done with himself via those tax returns are part of it.

We're not humiliating the man by telling him to piss in a cup in front of strangers. We're telling him to show us a bunch of paperwork. We're not going to go away.

So Reince, honey, the only way to stop talking about his tax returns is to get him to release them. He's a ridiculously rich man and the returns are complicated enough that the IRS didn't want to audit them (it's how they get off the hook). It will likely take until next August to figure out just what the man has stashed overseas and what he's lied about and how many rich man's hobbies he's gotten deductions for. They need to be shown now, however, or he's just going to look more and more like he's got something big to hide.

Which he does. We all know that already.

[zellie]

42. He's covering his ass

before the truth comes out.

" I don't know anything about this"

45. Sgt. Schultz

"I know noth-ing... I know NOTHHHHHHHHH-innnnnnnnng..."

[bemildred]

43. Ha ha ha. No you're not. nt

[TeamPooka]

44. pick a little, talk a little

Keep picking,

[tavalon]

46. Who?

I kid. I know who that punk is and he can do whatever he wants because most of us, other than wonks, haven't even heard of him or know that he's the head of the RNC. Babble on, little boy, no one is listening to you.

[Rozlee]

48. Hmm. Our economy is worse off since Obama came into office.

Let's see. When he came into office, we had 10% unemployment; the stock market was at 6000; 45,000 people a year were dying from lack of health insurance and he had just replace a president that had turned a surplus into a deficit, started two unfunded wars and began borrowing money from China in 2005. Oh, yeah. Sounds like we were really worse off.

[Thomas3d]

58. Our economy is better than it was since Obama came into office

And now we are at just above 8% unemployment, Health Care for all has just begun and oh yeah he got Osama Binlardass with the help of our totally awesome Seal Team 6! We are definitely better off now than when Bush was in office. We could be and still can be even better when we get those Republican RETARDS out of the House and Senate!

[Rozlee]

62. Don't except any real change until

we can break up the Southern bloc of the segregationist, pre-civil rights era of voters and their immediate following generation. Until they go tits up, they'll spread their poison and their right-wing governmental politics and cripple any progressive movement in the country. We've got a younger generation coming up the pipeline that's more liberal, has more tolerance for personal freedom and believes in gay marriage and women's rights; who are weary of foreign entanglements and are more secular and believe more in income equality and who incidentally, will be more diverse. Until then, we're stuck with these old, racist, Christofascist Confederates who will keep electing anyone on a banner of guns, gays, abortion, contraceptives, race and income inequality.

[Bossy Monkey]

49. Wasn't this a Dylan number?

"Not Talkin' Mitt Romney's Tax Returns Blues"

[bayareaboy]

50. No one said being the head of the GOP ...

would be so much penis rinsing. Well at least his dancing horse doesn't pay taxes.

[Lint Head]

51. Wash with soap Reince Priebus and repeat.

[sad sally]

54. Guess he won't show 'em to you either, huh?

[bayareaboy]

59. I guess he got by ...

without apologizing to Mr Reid.

Oh I almost forgot he don't have to, he is a RePUG.

[agentS]

60. Too bad Mr. Priebus- you idiots spent months harping over the Birth Certificate

NOW YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE!!!

And the President released his B.C. What's your candidates problem with taxes? Got something to hide????

[bluestateboomer]

61. Reince Priebus

ReiNCe PRieBuS

[Monk06]

64. I'm sure as RNC chair Reince is sick of hearing about it because it won't go away. Be nice

so that Ryan can gut the economy with his cut everything, scorched earth budget.

These guys should be in jail for racketeering.

[goclark]

67. Would Ryan then become the nominee for President?

Isn't the process that they would select a nominee for President at the convention- no?

When I learned that it was Ryan, my first thought was Rmoney was going into Rehab and he would be stepping down today/tomorrow?

[cstanleytech]

68. Thats a lie and you know it OP!!!

Reince does not bury his head in the sand, he keeps it where all good lil republicans keep theirs....................shoved deep inside his own butt.

[and-justice-for-all]

70. To bad asshole...SHOW US THE RETURNS!! nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

71. I guess the IRS isn't done investigating it?

[LuckyLib]

72. Rinsey Prince: The man is worth north of $250 million and that's what we

know about. Millions more is stashed overseas and "unavailable for viewing" -- we deserve to know how much and how much tax he has avoided as he proposes to slash and burn government spending.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

73. For his predictably short tenure

we can sure as hell have lots of fun with his name.

[wordpix]

81. Reenz Peenus, reeleese the reeturns! We're not done yet, even if you are.

[sendero]

74. Hey funny named dude...

... if you are done then good, SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[Thinkingabout]

76. If Romney did not appear beatable I would suggest he drop out of the race

There has been too much work and effort put into showing who mitt is to throw it away.

[kestrel91316]

79. Oh you silly child of sadistic parents, We the People are NOT

done talking about it. Perhaps the day after the election we'll stop. But perhaps not.

[aquart]

80. Reince, Reince. You haven't discussed them yet.

Lying is stressful. Try the truth.
