make it my goal to destroy all video tape of my positions in 1952, 1980, 1994, etc.

Mitt is incongruous. His greed/corporate-raider/outsourcer/taxevader does not jive with Mormonism/charity/civicresponsibility/PublicGood does not jive with Ryan/TeaParty/MilitaryGrowth/SocialDarwinism/Survival-of-the-Fittest/AynRand/You'reOnYourOwn.
He would have been better off to release those tax returns and explain from the standpoint of his charitable gifts which I'm sure are substantial. He could even have made the case that tax cheating is GOOD when the money is then used philanthropically. I think it's a Thomas More angle, but I'm no religious philosopher.
Too late now.
