What Message Do You Want To Hear At The Democratic National Convention?

If that were the case then why did the birthers drag this out (and continue to do so since 2008).  The brain wiring must be defective.

The point was that harping on Romney's tax returns is akin to harping on the birth certificates. They are both crazy and it is highly unlikely that anything would come of either of them.

There are a few words that just send Obamanauts crazy.

Apple, meet orange.

One has been proven (birth certificate).

The other hasn't been released, i.e., not proven.

Be patient, Romney has 3 years to release his tax returns by your standards.

If its not an issue though then why does the media still talk about it?  Oh, double standard.  That's right.

Who outside of Tingles still talks about the birth certificate in the media?

I'm talking about the tax returns.

But while we're on it, anytime the Hairpiece speaks, it's usually about this.  Because he can't stand to be out of the spotlight.

Do you know who started the tradition of presidential candidates releasing tax returns? He thought it important for candidates to be open with the American people.

George Romney

When a candidate builds his campaign on taxes, his personal taxes are relevant.

If Obama builds a campaign on birthing children, his birth certificate would become relevant.

Or Adlai Stevenson 15 years earlier, but who's counting. Ironically it was the crook Nixon who cajoled them into it.

How so? If he pays the legal amount required by law. How does his tax return have anything to do with what he thinks taxes should or shouldn't be?

Do you not believe people have not seen his tax returns? Thousands of IRS employees have access to his returns.

There must be something really damaging for him to refuse to release them.

If he releases them, it becomes more fodder to try and distract people's attention from:

-23 million unemployed or under-employed
-A shrinking middle class
-$6 Trillion in new debt
-$4.00 gasoline

etc. ad nauseum.

We already know the wealthy have many ways to shelter income and I suspect Romney has exploited every legal means possible to do so as is his legal right.

Exactly, thousands of IRS employees have seen them and have nothing to report.

The only thing likely in those returns is that Romney is handsomely wealthy, which to date is still perfectly legal.

IRS employees can't leak them without being fired.
