Reince Priebus: I'm done talking Mitt Romney's tax returns
Source: Politico
RNC Chair Reince Priebus is so tired of talking about Mitt Romneys tax returns, he said Friday hes done discussing them.
Oh boy, were going down this road again? he said, when asked about the returns on CNNs Starting Point.
Were going down this road, friend, anchor Brooke Baldwin replied.
Cmon, Reince, its a perfectly valid question, Baldwin said, after playing part of a new Obama campaign ad that raises the possibility of Romney not paying any taxes some years. We deserve to see them.

Fine Reince, put your head in the sand. We'll keep talking about it for you.

But wait, if you've done nothing wrong, then there's nothing to hide. Right?
The Wielding Truth
(11,415 posts)lies of the RW and be a real and honest person and drop the Paul Ryan SS destroying plan and buy Bain Capital again and sell it off bit by bit and spend his time helping in a poor community and stop associating with gangsters like Adleson and Koch Brothers who give to his campaign to extract favors and change laws to benefit them and he must know the workings of foreign relations and realize that people are not corporations and enjoy the achievements of academics and successfulness of work without monetary profit, and the rights of US citizenship do not hinge on being Christian or white or Mormon and that siding with principle is only as good as that principle and Animals deserve to me treated better than luggage and support global warming and respect women by adjusting the restrictive legislature passed and purposed by the RW.
Gee, I better just say he is not the right person for the job. We already have the best person in our current president. Barack Obama.

(602 posts)he would take a few cues from the right-wing whacko Yahoo gang. Whenever someone brings up Mitt's hidden tax returns, simply counter-punch with little gems like "Yeah, what about Obama's college records", or the classic "When Obama shows his real birth certificate, Romney will show his taxes". Fortunately for Reince, he's actually a little bit smarter than he looks, so he won't do that.

(111,270 posts)Reince, honey, the man is applying for the government's plum job. He has to go through a background check to get hired and showing us what he's done with himself via those tax returns are part of it.
We're not humiliating the man by telling him to piss in a cup in front of strangers. We're telling him to show us a bunch of paperwork. We're not going to go away.
So Reince, honey, the only way to stop talking about his tax returns is to get him to release them. He's a ridiculously rich man and the returns are complicated enough that the IRS didn't want to audit them (it's how they get off the hook). It will likely take until next August to figure out just what the man has stashed overseas and what he's lied about and how many rich man's hobbies he's gotten deductions for. They need to be shown now, however, or he's just going to look more and more like he's got something big to hide.
Which he does. We all know that already.

(2,529 posts)Let's see. When he came into office, we had 10% unemployment; the stock market was at 6000; 45,000 people a year were dying from lack of health insurance and he had just replace a president that had turned a surplus into a deficit, started two unfunded wars and began borrowing money from China in 2005. Oh, yeah. Sounds like we were really worse off.
Thomas3d
(11 posts)And now we are at just above 8% unemployment, Health Care for all has just begun and oh yeah he got Osama Binlardass with the help of our totally awesome Seal Team 6! We are definitely better off now than when Bush was in office. We could be and still can be even better when we get those Republican RETARDS out of the House and Senate!
Rozlee
(2,529 posts)we can break up the Southern bloc of the segregationist, pre-civil rights era of voters and their immediate following generation. Until they go tits up, they'll spread their poison and their right-wing governmental politics and cripple any progressive movement in the country. We've got a younger generation coming up the pipeline that's more liberal, has more tolerance for personal freedom and believes in gay marriage and women's rights; who are weary of foreign entanglements and are more secular and believe more in income equality and who incidentally, will be more diverse. Until then, we're stuck with these old, racist, Christofascist Confederates who will keep electing anyone on a banner of guns, gays, abortion, contraceptives, race and income inequality.
