Not a one trick pony Murrey, but you can't argue 3 topics at a time. The idea here - now a strategy it seems - is to no longer discuss the original subject but to switch topics in an attempt to ignore the original one. Fast a ferocious has nothing to do with Romney's releasing of his tax returns. What continues to baffle me is why conservatives want to ignore the tax release issue. This one should be a no brainer!

If it's that Romney didn't pay much taxes - then good for him! I always feel better in years I pay fewer taxes. ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with that. But why hide them then?


In the year that Occupy Wall Street was big news and 99% and 1% are actually a part of our vocabulary, it is not a surprise that Romney wouldn't want a bunch of imbeciles going over his tax returns when they have no understanding of what they really say. They are going to see that he paid Warren Buffet style taxes. In other words, he will have paid a smaller percentage on his overall wealth because it is investment income versus wage income. As wharfie said, it's an optics thing. they'll see that he has only paid 15% (or whatever the rate is) and completely ignore that the taxes that he has paid in the past 10 years is probably 100 times what Obama paid.

and he isn't hiding them. The IRS has them. He is being vetted by the IRS. And the fact that you can't see the parallel to Obama hiding his records and sealing the fast n furious records, shows your bias.

If you want any credibility, you should be as passionate about Obama's records and the fast n furious records as you are about Romney's records. But you don't seem to care about the things that might reflect badly on Obama.
