Default Romney says no tax returns

Democratic presidential strategist Bob Shrum agreed, saying Romney's failure to release his tax returns makes him a "punching bag."

"It does make him a hidden figure and a punching bag," Shrum said. "…I tell you on this tax issue, Steve [Schmidt] and I have both been there. You sit down with the candidate and you say, 'Look, we should release these tax returns.' And either Romney or people in his campaign who have seen it said we'll take worse damage if we release these returns than if we hold on to them. So I think he's going to live with this issue all the way through."

If Romney released all the tax returns, Obama's people would pretend to find all sorts of cheating. Obama is already lying about Romney's activites at Bain Capital, according to the Washington Post and FactCheck.org.

Tax law is extremely complex, particularly for someone with substantial wealth and investments. There's always a way to find something that could be characterized as cheating; it's a matter of interpretation.

There's no way Obama's people would review the returns and announce that Romney was clean as a whistle, even if he was.

It's ridiculous for Obama to demand that Romney go the extra mile in disclosure, when he himself, has done everything to obscure and lie about his own past.

Good for him, if the opposition wanted me to do something the first thing I would do is tell them to fuck off as well. I doubt I will vote for him, but I do admire his uncompromising spirit.

I think its a fundamental mistake to let your opponent put you on the defensive. Romney needs to force Obama into defending his miserable failure of an administration. Obama can't run a positive campaign. All he can do is attack.

The best defense is a strong offense. Romney needs to hit Obama hard and not let up.

I'll bet if a team of CPA's reviewed ten years of your tax returns, or anyone else's, with the intention of trying to make you look bad, they could easily make you look like a crook.

I don't think Romney fears a fair review of his tax returns. I think he understands that there's no way Obama's people could resist lying about his returns with the enthusiastic support of 95% of the media.

how much are you willing to lose?


everything you think romney fears or doesnt fear is irrelevent

team romney is on record saying releasing the returns will do more harm than good for WHATEVER reason/s they have.

make any and all the excuses for Romney you want, speculate all you want, nothing changes the facts

You're argument is even weaker than usual. Why not just admit that I'm right and move on. It would be less embarrassing for you.

Aren't there more important issues than this? I mean, really? If he'd done anything illegal, the IRS would be all over it.

Why aren't you as upset at Obama's failure to disclose items from his past? Kind of selective indignation, isn't it?
