ORIGINAL: subrob1967 Honestly, do you expect the heavily favored heavy weight Boxer to drop his guard and let his challenger attack him? Why the fuck should Romney give ammunition to Obama? He's already sunk so low as to call Romney a felon and killer. Are you really this naive? Romney complied with the election ballot rules, so I hope he continues to give Obama and all you Bainers the finger... Actually President Obama gave his tax return records for a ten year period before becoming President of the USA. His competitor at the time, Sen. John McCain did the same thing. So did former presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush (Sr.), Clinton, and Bush (Jr.). In fact their direct competition did that as well. So it seems to be a custom in America of those running for the White House to be 'up front' with the American people. In fact, if they are not corrupted or crimminal, it usually serves to show how honest they are (or as honest as any of us would believe the canidate we are NOT voting into office). President Obama has given his last three tax returns while he's been in office. That would mean that President Obama has given six times the tax returns that Mr. Romney has shown. The problem is a 'gaff' Mr. Romney made in one interview in which it was asked if he actually paid taxes in every year since 'retro-actively' retiring from Bain. To which he could not recall. Most people that make money in a ten year period....PAY TAXES....to the IRS. We all bitch about it collectively. If this guy is not sure if he paid taxes, that is the creation of doubt. Recall President Obama has NEVER questioned where he was born, yet, the birthers attack him. Has that stopped conservatives (in the nation or on this forum) from attacking him? So when I see conservatives bitching about others attacking Mr. Romney for not showing his IRS forms, I get a smile.
