Reince Priebus: I'm done talking Mitt Romney's tax returns

Reince Priebus: I'm done talking Mitt Romney's tax returns

RNC Chair Reince Priebus is so tired of talking about Mitt Romney’s tax returns, he said Friday he’s done discussing them.

“Oh boy, we’re going down this road again?” he said, when asked about the returns on CNN’s “Starting Point.”

“We’re going down this road, friend,” anchor Brooke Baldwin replied.

“Any second we spend not talking about how this president failed in his mission, the mission to fix this economy, he campaigned on this economy, he hasn’t accomplished a darn thing,” Priebus said. “We’re worse off. That’s the issue, and I’m not spending any more time talking about this issue.”

That's what he is not saying... that he and they always put party before country, but it seems most independents can see true the mountains of lies.

like the tax returns are SO last news cycle! That's not how it works, pal. you're going to be asked about them even more now. And you'll have to stonewall. And if the new strategy is stone-walling, then things are gonna get really interesting. The media is not going to just give up because you guys are tired of deflecting and lying...

Anyone want to bet when the "I'm not going to dignify that question with an answer!" is coming???

Oh how I DO hope that this is the new strategy... because it's even worse than the others.

What have the done so far with this: surprise, shock, defense, offense, anger, condescending, deflection, and now stonewalling. We're still waiting for the returns.

But everyone else isn't. Show us the tax returns, or pick someone else to run.

The tax return issue isn't going away! He will have to come up with the returns unless he thinks the American people will vote for a possible crook? Who knows what he did? How can people justify this man? He got rich by cleaning up! Everywhere he saw a loophole in the law he took advantage of it. There was nothing off limits to him. He could reach into any till without being caught. Now he is reaching into the biggest till of all.

I want Obama to release his college records, his birth certificate, his tax returns for 10 years.

I also want Mitt Romney to do the same. Let's see 'em.

Like I give a fuck what Obama's grades were.
