Does anyone but me see the resemblance between the returns and the birth certificate?

The similarities:

Neither will/did likely produce anything the opposition didn't already know (or want to admit).
They were both WAY over hyped with all reason thrown out the window.
Both released something that still didn't make the other side happy.
And the opposition still won't vote for the other candidate.

I think this firmly puts to bed the fact the Republican's do not have exclusivity on lunatics.

This is so freaking hilarious.

Apples and oranges.

No one here is questioning Romney's origin or whether or not he's a citizen.  Simply questioning the veracity of his claim to be for the 'middle class' by doing what other candidates have done in the past and release several years of their tax returns.  Especially if he's claiming to be a better leader because of his business practices.  Why is he hiding it?

That birther crap should have never seen the light of day.  The original birth certificate was good enough for other entities, yet not good enough for the Tea Party...oh, wait..what?

...facing the truth about the shrinking middle class, $4.00 gas, alarming increases in health insurance rates the last four years, 23 million who are still unemployed and underemployed, and the Middle East heating up. 

Those issues have been around a long time...but go ahead and blame Obama for the Middle East heating up (been fighting since 1350 AD), the shrinking middle class (read Time magazine story about this from 2001), increases in health insurance (this was a major issue in the 1920s and led to the creation of Blue Cross Blue Shield and again in the 1950s that led to the creation of Medicare),  There was higher gas prices under Bush during the summer of 2008.

But you must think Obama invented all of these issues.

You are the one who keeps changing the topic away from Romney. Yet you claim we are the ones who are changing the topic.  
Power is nothing till you use it.

How can you fail to see the similarity between the birth certificate being good enough for "other entities" and Romney's tax returns being good enough for the election commission?  His personal tax returns  are not as relevant to his business success as the profit/tax returns of the businesses he ran.

You claim to be neither pro-Obama or anti-Obama but your posts sure don't indicate that supposed position.

No, he just keeps blaming them on Bush.  "We" elected Obama to fix the problems.  He has had some minor successes but largely he has not done what he was elected to do.  I equate Obama to the brakes on my mid 60s car.... good for 1/2 of a panic stop from 70 mph.  If there is no wall in front of you, you are OK.

You discount my claim and then support my claim all in one post.

Whatever dude.

You're right. You'd fit right in within the Beltway. You've truly missed your calling.

Wow. Maybe you should be a politician AND a comedian. Funniest thing I've heard all day.   Thanks for the laugh.

Last retort for Hoss, and I'm done for the day.

Just come out of the closet already and admit you are an Obama homer. Because there is no way you couldn't be when nothing Obama does is wrong and everything Romney does is wrong.

Hoss, I thought the birtherism crap was started by Hillary, not the tea party....

QuoteThe answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008. At the time, the Democratic presidential primary was slipping away from Hillary Clinton and some of her most passionate supporters grasped for something, anything that would deal a final reversal to Barack Obama.

And RM, this is a thread about Romney and his tax returns. He apparently produced last year's return which shows, wait for it, NOTHING.  Except of course that he gave millions to charity and paid more than a mil in taxes.
Someone get Hoss a pacifier.

You and Gas must have started a clairvoyancy business together.

Last I checked, this thread was about Romney and his train wreck of a campaign. I'm not voting for either guy as of this moment. But thanks for reading my mind and telling me what you think is in there.

I will say this. Mittens knows how to stick to his guns. Even when he's being cannibalized by some in his own party. Don't see that yet from the other side. And watching Willard's wife lash out at those in the GOP must be painful for the Romney faithful to hear.

Hope the business works out for ya, sonny.

Only the people who wouldn't vote for anyone other than Obama in the first place are having trouble with this.  
I have never seen someone so vigorously claim credit for other's successes and blame others for his failures as this president.

Thanks for parroting the Fox News viewpoint again... disgusting.

Yeah, that's a whopping 14 or 15 percent. I paid more than that in taxes this year and I filed HoH and 2!

What a woose.  You cannot even make a choice between the lesser of two not so good candidates.  By not making a choice, you will relinquish your right to complain for four years.
