Why can't Romney release 2009 & 2010 instead of 2010 and WAITING FOR 2011?

IMO he should have just never released anything, this business of "OK, here's the one we just ginned up and you can wait on the NEXT one we're going to gin up then you have TWO!"

That is so lame! How obvious can it be he is hiding something in 2009?

Sick of his peeps constantly saying they released 2 years like John McCain when in fact they have NOT.

He gave McCain everything to 2008 and now he's fine with 2010 and 2011. Why doesn't he wear a T-shirt saying 'I WOULD BE SO BUSTED BY MY 2009 TAX RETURNS!'

trying to put some sort of spin to counter the missing stuff from 2010, and the disastrous missing 10 years. Frankly, I would NOt be shocked if they were trying to amend many years worth right now... he has enough cash in the Caymans to pay back taxes if they amend it now.

I'm sure you're right and there's mad revisionism and cover up going on behind the scenes but shouldn't they have "an official reason?" I can't believe the nonsense they get away with.

I believe just like corporations that paid ZERO taxes but got billions of dollars in "kickbacks" from the government, he did too.

Residency (re: Mass voting for Senator in 2010) the amnesty thing and the nature of his pay from Bain before he "retroactively retired."
