Re: Trusting Romney's tax and his business past, Reagan made history saying "Trust but verify"

I think we should throw the Republican demigod's words back at Romney supporters.

According to wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trust,_but_verify

Trust, but verify is a form of advice given which recommends that while a source of information might be considered reliable, one should perform additional research to verify that such information is accurate, or trustworthy. The term was a signature phrase adopted and made famous by U.S. president Ronald Reagan.

Republicans should trust Romney, their candidate, but they should verify just to make sure he's not been involved in any shady dealings, just like Reagan suggested.
