This morning on MORNING JOE, the lead story is.....

[brooklynite]

Mitt Romney's taxes.

How many news cycles have they kept this story going? Absolutely amazing.

[goclark]

1. So what did Big Mouth Joe

have to say about his pal Rmoney

[DrDan]

2. isn't that a good thing? keep it in the public eye imo

[ailsagirl]

16. The subject of Rmoney's taxes appears to be firmly entrenched in the 2012 campaign

It's not going anywhere.

[DrDan]

17. even better when the GOP keeps talking about it

they know it is an issue

[ailsagirl]

20. You betcha'!!

[JoePhilly]

3. Its a great line of attack. Everyone understands taxes.

[emulatorloo]

4. And nobody likes a rich tax cheat.

[bobburgster]

5. It should be a lead story....

If he doesn't have anything to hide, produce the taxes. Then they could give Harry Reid a bunch of crap. Must be hiding something...

[DetlefK]

6. Apply for VP: publish 23 years. Apply for POTUS: publish 1 year.

Really weird.

[Bluenorthwest]

9. He has not 'published' 23 years, and in fact the 1 year he released was released incomplete

he has not shown the filings for his off shore accounts, and in that particular year such forms could show he took a 'tax amnesty' which I think is a disqualification for high office. He's released a heavily redacted partial filing of a single year and that's it.

19. Mitt's biggest mistake ever was giving McCain those returns....

Since he's a bad politicians he didn't realize McCain would never pick him as VP since he represented no base of the GOP and everyone hated him personally as was reported at the time. Heck the others wouldn't even talk to him after the debates on stage.

McCain wanted Lieberman and didn't have the guts to pick him but getting those tax returns from Romney was just making him jump through hoops and Mittens didn't sense it, couldn't tell or was too desperate for the post to see it.

Now his ultimate claim of "privacy" for not releasing that he used in his Gov. run is weak or moot at best.
And we get to slam him with the number 23 all summer and fall.
Sucker and fool = Mitt Romney.

7. Romney picks taxpayer for VP

Don't know where I read it but I like the joke. Romney picks taxpayer for VP slot to balance the ticket.

[MatthewStLouis]

13. Hey, that's pretty good! :)

[INdemo]

8. Is there a video link missing?

when I checked a morning Joe segment on MSNBC they were going on and on about Obama being out raised..
They kept taking about poll numbers and how Obama was ahead in all swing states but failed to give them.

10. We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes," billionaire hotelier Leona Helmsley

"You must pay a lot of taxes". She said: "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes."[14]
–Elizabeth Baum, former housekeeper to Helmsley (October 1983)
This is the 1% firm belief.

[think]

11. +1 Great quote /nt

[pscot]

12. Thank Harry Reid it's still alive

The KoolKids were getting tired of it until Harry spiked the ball.

[Major Hogwash]

14. This story has been going for about 4 weeks now.

And to think, it didn't come off of a blog!!!

15. No, The Number Of News Cycles For Crazy Birther Demands Thats Whats Amazing

This is not some silly campaign trail glitch like a staffer swearing at a reporter that needs to have
a short publicity life. The taxes of any candidate for president, Republican or Democrat, should
be transparent. This should never go away until the tax returns are made available. Remember
the conservatives who are ACTING offended about a demand they claim violates Romney's
privacy never publicy chastised the birthers for demanding Obama prove his birth, you cannot get
anymore personal or private than making a person prove their birthright to citizenship.

18. definition of win-win....

Mitt doesn't release his taxes and looks like he's hiding something.
Mitt releases taxes and we see what he's been hiding.
win-win.
