Romney challenged Edward Kennedy, his opponent, to release his income taxes in 1994

http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/politics/jan-june12/romneytaxes_01-18.html

<snip>You know, really, if you look back in the clippings, for 18 years, when Romney first ran for the U.S. Senate in 1994, he challenged Edward Kennedy, his opponent, to release his income taxes, and questioned whether Kennedy had something to hide. Sounds very familiar.

Kennedy did not release his taxes, but Romney said, if Kennedy would, he would do so himself the same day. It just never happened, so he didn't release his tax returns back in 1994. And then again when Romney ran for governor in 2002, he was asked about his income taxes and he said he was not going to release them for -- quote -- "privacy reasons."

This just keeps getting better and better doesn't it?

Just show a clip of Romney accusing Kennedy of hiding something. Yet another flip flop on Romney's part!
