So he kind of sort of maybe might release his tax returns ... if Republicans nominate him first.

Mitt Romney offers crash course in the Mittenese weasel hedging
byJed Lewison

Debate transcripts don't usually make for fun reading, but this is special:

EVANS: Governor Romney, Speaker Gingrich, Senator Santorum and now vocally tonight Senator Perry — Governor Perry — are calling for you to release your tax records. The Obama campaign is asking for the same thing. Governor, will you release your income tax records?

ROMNEY: You know, I looked at what has been done in campaigns in the past with Senator McCain and President George W. Bush and others. They have tended to release tax records in April or tax season. I hadn’t planned on releasing tax records because the law requires us to release all of our assets, all the things we own. That I have already released. It’s a pretty full disclosure. But, you know, if that’s been the tradition and I’m not opposed to doing that, time will tell. But I anticipate that most likely I am going to get asked to do that around the April time period and I’ll keep that open.

EVANS: Governor, you will plan then to release your income tax records around April?

ROMNEY: I think I’ve heard enough from folks saying, look, let’s see your tax records. I have nothing in them that suggests there’s any problem and I’m happy to do so. I sort of feel like we are showing a lot of exposure at this point. And if I become our nominee, and what’s happened in history is people have released them in about April of the coming year and that’s probably what I would do.

Judging from her thread title I'm left with the impression that Romney ought to provide his tax returns simply because he entered the bpolitical fray.

If that is the standard to be set willthe rich bitch livin' on the hill (but says she ain't) pony-up her tax returns so as to lay to rest any doubts in the minds of her fellow DU'ers that people aren't starving or being ruthlessly gunned-down in Zucotti park because of her.

1. He's basically saying he's so frikkin' rich, he's SCARED to release his tax records, lest he not be

nominated.

These people make me sick. 

Irony can be so ironic.

In 1981, Occidental’s literary magazine published two of Obama’s poems—“Pop” and “Underground.” These poems are only a little sillier than the average undergraduate’s, but they show not a glint of promise. From “Underground”:

Quote
Under water grottos, caverns

Filled with apes

That eat figs.

Stepping on the figs

That the apes

Eat, they crunch.

The apes howl, bare

Their fangs, dance . . .

Los Angeles media critic Kevin Roderick rightly described the exposure of Obama’s two published poems as a “semi-cruel exercise."

The editor of the Harvard Law Review that never wrote an article did write one letter to defend affirmative action and it read like a third grader or your typical DUmp post. The man has at best a mediocre intelligence in the 90-95 IQ point range at best. However, he can read a teleprompter like a super star. 

Here's a jewel:

"Since the merits of the Law Review's selection policy has been the subject of commentary for the last three issues," wrote Obama, "I'd like to take the time to clarify exactly how our selection process works."

Another:

"Approximately half of this first batch is chosen ... the other half are selected ... "

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Never mind all that copy pasting, Kpete, you have more important things to tend to.  Did you make sure Jeeves put the Champagne on to chill?  Is Bridget finished clearing the soot out of the fireplaces?  Have the boys mucked out the stables yet?  How is LeRoy coming with polishing all the vehicles, in case you should care to need one this evening?  What of the cabana boy?  What shall we do with him this afternoon?

I'll worry about Romney's tax records when John F'n Kerry releases his records from Vietnam.

I'm still waiting to see where it's 1--a legal requirement, 2--relevant.

Although hearing the Clinton's bitch about people paying their fair share while they take charitable deductions for donated UNDERWEAR still gets a chuckle from me.
