Delicious war brewing here -
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002958785PJM has a point, why don't they ? If Romney has broken several laws, and "everyone knows it", then they need to address it. Some primitives agree, yet far more don't, and they have many varied reasons for not prosecuting the lawbreaker Romney..
why don't they indict Romney?
I mean, they have all the docs needed. His tax returns are held by the IRS. The FEC and SEC have the other docs needed...don't they? It would seem a sure-fire way to submarine the campaign...and it would show the American people that he IS the cheat and dodge that he seems to be...
sP
And now a few reasons not to..
1. Because it would submarine the campaign.
They can't do this in the runup to an election. There would be incredible blowback. Especially since this has been known since he filed to run in 2011.
Now, after the election..
OKay, Don't prosecute now, wait to Chimpeach later..
6. Let him twist in the wind.
Hitchcock found that one's imagination was far more powerful than anything he could show.
In Jaws, having the shark remain as an unseen terror engaged one's imagination, and fear.
Let people think about what Mitt's up to, let their imaginations conjure up what he's hiding.
Any indictment would take YEARS to complete ...
Let Mitt twist in the wind.
Don't back up any of the claims, let peoples imagination fill in the blanks. Why not? It certainly worked for 'hope & change'..
51. And Twist And Twist...Put More ? Out There...
Bain is part one. We're about to see a similar demolition about Willard's role in the Olympics...pushing his business contacts for his personal profit.
It's building a narrative that by this fall will stick like glue to most Americans of Willard being a sleezy liar and tax cheat. Richie Rich/Thurston Howell on a jet ski with a dog on the roof.
It's classic political framing that will be studied by political campaigns for generations. Firstly, for the genius of Team Obama to pile it on and, more importantly, the ineptness of Rmoney who kept sticking glass jaws out there to get knocked around.
Warning, 11th dimensional Vulcan Hyperchess master at work. Do not disturb.
8. Because you don't indict the opposition to a sitting president in an election year

... unless there is at least one dead body, half a pound of blow, and two sodomized goats involved.
Seriously, indict Romney? Good Lord. This is America, for Christ's sake; not Russia or some other shit hole that pretends to be a democracy.
This primitive almost gets it - there is no crime. Man your alert buttons !
22. have you given any thought to how this would play out in the media?
geez louise . . .
Because it looks 'icky' - that explains Holder's non-response to going after illegal aliens.
50. i don't suspect anybody here remembers Watergate....
Nixon had an enemies list that he persecuted, and prosecuted through the Justice Department. his attorney General John Mitchell, resigned in disgrace as the investigation unfolded...
one has to very careful investigating political rivals..
This primitive also seems to get it.
25. It's probably not as clear as you think
I know nothing about the law, and it appears to me that RMoney broke the law and should be frogmarched ASAP; however, people who DO know the law seem to think it may not be a crime, or even unusual in the business world. Are you aware that the Washington Post gave the whole flap 3 Pinocchios? In other words, much ado about nothing.
So, who knows??
Lots and lots of fun in this thread, and PJM keeps the primitives dancing to his tune. Excellent fun.
