2. Have we seen his Fox News blonde wife's tax returns? How about Seamus' tax returns? nt

3. Dear Mr. Rmoney: I haven't released mine, either. Your point would be WHAT, exactly?

4. Mr. Romney

John McCain is a war hero , who was not outsourcing jobs and NEVER would even think of a swiss
bank account....your father, you and your five sons never fought for this great country...you are hiding behind a religion (or cult) that allows you to do that...

don't worry about Mrs. kerry or Mr. McCain...ITS ABOUT YOU AND YOUR TAXES...We will find out what
you are hiding weather you like it or not

8. John McCain had served in the Senate for years and made public his Senate disclosures.

John Kerry's wife was somehow limited as to how much information she should get -- something about the fact that her wealth was inherited from her deceased first husband, was in a trust and that she was not the only heir.

Here is an explanation.

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/16/politics/campaign/16teresa.html

She handled money for a charitable trust. Her money may actually have been in a blind trust set up by her deceased husband.

That was a totally different situation. She was not running for office and Kerry certainly was not running based on claims of great business acumen and success.

Romney's problem is that he is claiming that he is the answer to the country's problems because he can bring business expertise and successful experience to the presidency. He says he wants to run the country like he ran his companies. Thus he has placed his financial dealings at issue.

Personally, I don't want someone who made his money buying companies, placing a crushing debt load on them, squeezing not only employees but possibly the former owner of agreed compensation by taking the company into bankruptcy. Bush and Cheney already did that job on the US when they went to war and hired their friends like Halliburton to carry out government contracts in the war so that they could transfer taxpayer money into the bottomless pit of privatized contract compensation.

We need to know Romney's whole story. We need to see his tax returns. We did not need to see John McCain's tax returns or Teresa Heinz-Kerry's.

5. Maybe we should have a look at Ann's returns, too

God knows what assets he turned over to her name.

6. WTF??!!!

Mrs Kerry didn't release HER taxes, so Willard shouldn't have to??

When the hell did Teresa Kerry announce her candidacy for President of the United States??

By the way, doesn't that mean that Ann Romney should have to release her taxes too?

What a buffoon...

7. keep reminding us

let me see as I remember it, a big part of Bush's strategy was to paint Kerry as an elite rich snob who could not connect with regular people and himself as a folksy average guy who cared about religion, guns, etc.
So Romney is going to remind us he is like the stereotype Kerry by pointing out another rich person did it before.
So say Romney is working to lose this election because he too believes Obama is the best for the country. I do not subscribe to that belief but then again , how can Romney be so stupid as to further distance himself from the voters. but I applaud this effort of his and hope he keeps it up. Obama is probably rolling on the floor laughing at Mitt cutting his own throat. More seriously though after this campaign is over and romney recognizes his total ineptness, we should put him on suicide watch. I do not know hoe he could bear such a burden as the biggest loser.
