Come on guys! To me, it is important to find out facts. As I said before, I am not a fan of Obama's policies but I do try to sort "fact from fiction." One of the best sites to do that is Factcheck.org.

Take a look at this link:

Much to do about nothing- Romney's income and tax situation- what should concern us more is Obama's refusal to date to allow his school records and travel documents prior to becoming a politician to be unsealed, why he and his wife were forced to surrender their law license, and why he is using a deceased Conn. man's Social Security number. Answering these issues are more important to me than whether or not the last two years of Romney's tax records are available.

Perhaps Romney will show his tax returns when obama shows his school records (which he spent ~one million to keep hidden). What is good for the goose is good for the gander.


lets see.......i wonder how many people one would have to bribe to hide 20 some years of school records? I mean would 1 million be enough?

I wonder how much someone would have to pay to keep their income and taxes hidden? I think 1 million would be enough.


I see the way your mind works but it's malfunctioning as regards to the school records. It is prohibited by federal statute for any school to release the records of any student without their written authorization. Simply, it doesn't cost a thing. If you recall George Bush's records weren't released, they were leaked by an unauthorized source as neither he nor any President I can recall has released their school records.
This is just another half truth spread by the far right in a moment of desperation.

I agree with Amy. But I don't think that it is possible for ONE person who can speak for ALL of the people.

Isn't it interesting that no matter the candidate, if we endorse him, every negative thing written about him/her has to be false, but if we dislike/despise the candidate, every negative rings true. We believe what we want to, whether true or false. We would be better off to understand that most politicians want to rule because they love power. Some use that power for the good of all, some only for those they are aligned with. Our job is to try to choose that one which has the welfare of All the people of the country in mind, not just a small portion of it.

As I mentioned previously, I submitted a request to FactCheck.org about Romney's taxes. They actually just replied. What do you think?

Romney was never a member of a "choom" gang, and there is a good chance his days in high school weren't passed in a daze.
This is what our "self esteamed" Pres said in his own book about himself.

Neither the president or his wife were ever forced to surrender their law licenses. They inactivated them voluntarily as keeping them active meant that they had to earn continuing education credits through seminars and classes. Can you imagine a President of the United States appearing at a class?
In any case they can reactivate their license any time they choose so this allegation is just false.
As to the SS#, this was something started by a 70 year old woman who attempted to file suit against the president but has never been proven. Aside from that, I wouldn't give anyone my SS# either, would you?
Just more lies being spread by a desperate far right.

So Harry Reid, the Majority leader in the Senate, the second most powerful man in the country and one of probably the 10 most powerful men in the world casts aspersions that are not worthy of a third grader in a sandbox and you don't think he is an idiot... He is supposed to be a serious man leading this country out of what has shaped up to be one of the biggest crises of my lifetime, and he will get up and make outrageous and serious allegations with no evidence whatsoever and use an anonymous phone call as his source.... An you think that I have no answer and am just resorting to name calling? Are you serious? I repeat, he is an idiot and shows no respect for himself or his office.

Or maybe a desperate far left trying to paint the right as being wacko...
Or maybe a real wacko not part of either the left or the right...

Being an Independent Thinker - I'm just sickened to all the "party" stuff. But, I'm a realist ~ and the economy is the MAIN LIFE BLOOD of the country. Without a stable and healthy economy, all of the other issues don't matter... Everything will fail, and our liberties will be trashed with "trying to fix the problem".

With the Senate, House, and the Presidency all being controlled by the Democrats ~ (prior to the last election cycle, it was) and there was NO real progress made in fixing the economy, I'll go back to the Presidents own words: “A year from now I think people are going to see that we’re starting to make some progress,” said Obama. ”But there’s still going to be some pain out there. If I don’t have this done in three years, then there’s going to be a one-term proposition.”

What an interesting hypothesis! The left is spreading lies about themselves, in order to blame those lies on the right and then disprove them, thus showing the right to be extremists, willing to lie to achieve their goals.
Have you ever written a novel?

Maybe that explains why we'll never see his tax returns.
Either way Governor - This issue ain't going away.

Can what be true? That Harry Reid is a idiot? Yes that is certainly true..

That Romney paid no taxes? Highly unlikely!


Your response of "highly unlikely" leaves open the possibility of it being true. I am sure he spread the money around to all his kids and grandchildren to avoid taxes. That is a common practice. Therefore, it is quite possible that he paid no taxes under his SS number.

Harry Reid lowers the 2nd highest office in the land to baseless innuendo so that folks like you will pick up on and help him spread his lies... and that is all they are, mentiras! I wonder what his "Cowboy Poets" think of Harry's deceitful use of the stature of his office to play childish games with the future of this country... and I would ask of the so accomplished Harry, why does he not stop playing games and pass a budget?
