Regarding Republicans calling for Romney to release his tax returns

I think it is a stretch to give any conservative in this era the benefit of the doubt that they want him to release his tax returns because it is the right thing to do.

They overestimated him as a candidate running against a slate of nincompoops, fanatics and nutcases in GOP primaries that favored the richest sociopath.

Now they underestimate just what a Costco-size box of "Pandora Helper" these returns are.

They think it would just show income from Bain and some years of little or no income tax. The Republicans that want him to release the returns think they can spin those things enough to minimize the damage.

If it was just those problems, we would see the returns by now.

I'm pretty sure that the returns would shock even his most loyal supporters. Indeed they may reveal things like huge betrayals of partners, investors, Olympic supporters and political allies. If was just stuff that would outrage liberals, they would consider it a point of pride.
