Still Waiting for Harry Reid to Come Out

with the proof of Romney not paying any income taxes for 10 years. I was hoping it might happen before the R Convention but looks like not. I just find it hard to believe, Harry would of put it out there if he didn't have some kind of proof. Who believes it will still happen and if so when??

1. If ever, probably not the week of Labor Day.

Anyway, Harry doesn't have to provide proof. It's not on him.

With their convention and a hurricane to cover. Better to let the air out of their tires after the get home and take the sheets off their heads.

3. Mitt could prove Harry wrong, but is TERRIFED to do so because he can't explain how offshore ...

investments turn into American jobs.

After all, that is Mitt's plan. Give huge tax cuts to the super rich (like him). They invest those in off-shore accounts and shell corporations in the Caymans, and that magically creates jobs right here in the United States.

Mitt can't show us his taxes, because then he'd have to explain how the "magic" works.

with proof that he paid income taxes for at least the past 10 years. I was hoping he may have done so before the R convention, but it looks like not. I just find it hard to believe that if Romney has nothing to hide he wouldn't show his cards and prove it.
Anyone believe Romney is hiding something so damaging he would rather ruin his party than prove Reid wrong?

6. I believe the ball is in Mitt's court. He could follow 45 years of tradition

or ruin his party. His choice, I would say.

7. I think it is wiser to expose the final evidence after the RNC.

That way the republican party has already committed to Romney and when the levy breaks they will have little recourse.

8. I suspect the evidence will be "leaked" after Labor Day

No way Harry will hand over the stuff himself but if it falls into the MSM's hands after labor day that would pretty much kill any bump Mittens gets from the convention.

9. I do not expect nor want Harry Reid to reveal anything.

The burden of disproof of Harry Reid's charges lies solely and completely with Mitt Rmoney. Rmoney is the one that has all the documents in his possession and he has to disprove the charge. If Harry Reid's should reveal his source, then that person will be laid open to law suits, harassment and possibly investigations. I will not want that at all!

12. We all know, Mitt is not about to show his tax returns,

for plenty reasons. I don't think Harry Reid would of brought the subject up unless he has some kind of proof. Let Mitt keep denying and dig a deeper hole and at the end, a leak of Mitt's tax returns showing $0 income tax paid.
