Romney is stuck at dead center in the Opinion Polls. In order to move the Romney poll needle in a positive direction, why not encourage timid Mitty Romney to SEAL his Federal and State Tax Records when he announces who his Veep will be?
In this way Romney would be calling Obama's Bluff, something that Obama has warned others not to do.
The Veep announcement and the Sealing of Romney's tax records would give The Media a double surprise at a time of maximum Media audience.
Sunday talk shows would then be forced to talk about Obama's sealed School and other records.
BTW, the newly chosen Veep should seal ALL of his Tax AND School records.
Dems already know all about Romney’s taxes ,thanks to their friends at the IRS ,if there is anything they can use ,they are just waiting for the right time to leak leak oops
How could he seal them. The treasury has them. The head of the treasury is a corrupt tax cheat, and his boss is Romney’s opponent. Odds are, Geithner and Obama have already fingered through Mitt’s tax returns.
This tax business is damaging the democrats. Romney should just doing what he’s doing, because once his VP is announced, we’ll hear more of the same, just on a different subject.
Nope. Would make him look guilty as sin. The dim bastiches would love it if he did that.
I didn't create any jobs either!!
Nope. Would make him look guilty as sin. The dim bastiches would love it if he did that.
************************************************
Guilty of what???
The mainsream media while glreefully reporting the sealing of Romney’s records would finally have to report the reason why...the sealing of Obama’s records. Obama’s sins are greater than any Romney could dream up.
yes.
Dems would just seal them and never look back.
He absolutely should seal them if for no other reason than to show that he is willing to have as open and transparent an administration as 0bama has kept his promise to have.
Yes, seal the tax records.
However, unless Romney himself releases them, the Obama team could be committing a felony by making them public.
They’ve seem them, I’m sure, and picked them to pieces, but the cant use them.
It’s a distraction...which is what Obama is all about...lies and distractions.
Yes, Romney needs to seal the up tight. Stick to the issues, Obama has enough skeletons in his closet to provide a near infinite amount of ammunition for Romney to use...he needs to go on the offensive, stay consistent, and stop reacting to minutia.
Dems already know all about Romney’s taxes ,thanks to their friends at the IRS ,if there is anything they can use ,they are just waiting for the right time to leak leak oops
Romney should step up to the microphone and say,
“Mr. President, If I have committed any crimes with regarding to paying taxes, then arrest me, right here, right now.
“If you do not charge me with a crime, then every day that goes by you are bigger liar than the day before”.
“And the day I take office in January 2013, I will have arrested anyone of you who have illegally looked up my tax records”.
First of all they didn’t have or NEED a reason to accuse him in the first place. If he attempted to seal them, which he actually cannot do anyway, what would stop them from pointing their filthy fingers and claiming he MUST be hiding something? It would be a 24/7 “I told you so.” And the msm would go nuts with it.
Play hardball and do it during the Democrat convention.
Reminds me of that children’s game. “You show me yours and I’ll show you mine.”
” - - - Nope. Would make him look guilty as sin.”
That is the point: “guilty as sin” just like Obama who is protected by the Liberal Agenda Media, who refuse to talk about Obama’s Sealed School and other records.
Shine the light of truth on the grimy hands of Obama, and THEN Romney will think about releasing maybe just one more year of tax records, maybe.
“- - - Of course, all of this could be cleared up right away if - - - “ Obama would unseal all of his School and other records, to use Dirty Harry Reid’s partial statement.
No, he should hold them as bait in a trade off for O’Bummers college records and birth certificate!
Play the Man. I bet Obama blinks and won't release them starting a cottage industry in why he won't.
If I was romney, and thank G-d I’m not, I would print out ten years worth of tax returns, stack them in front of me, and say flat out, “Here they are. You want them? I’ll trade them to any reporter who can produce obama’s sealed transcripts.”
Personally Romney is not my first (R) choice, but I will support his right to privacy. He has produced the tax returns required to meet Federal election requirements.
NO Pundit has any right to keep spewing the BS that he needs to produce any additional tax returns.
Correct. Obama has a big enough propaganda advantage as it it.
Instead, Romney should say this, at every opportunity: I believe in transparency, and I believe in fair play. I will release all my records - school, draft, and tax - they same day Obama releases all of his.
My dislike and distrust of Romney has NOTHING to do with his wealth. IT is his liberal methodology for explaining and defending the idea that wealth accumulation is what creates jobs NOT government.
The whole creation of OccupyWallStreet was set in motion to necklace around Romney from the beginning.... AND Romney says he ran his company just like Obama bailed out the auto industry. Well, duh on him, his hole he dug all by himself trying to seduce those coveted swaying in the wind, independents.
Liberals have a long documented history of data mining to be used at the most opportune time. October surprises a week before the election. Somebody already has Romney's tax returns, it is all about goading Romney over what they consider to be his weak link to those so called Independents.
We are just going to have to ride this circus out and watch these spoiled brats fling baby food at each other. Remember, regardless of what it literally means to be conservative and principled, (some need to slur US for being what they consider dirty, PURISTS) we morals voters are expected to shut up and support whatever the immoral GOP-e serves up and bend our knees to their golden bull.
” - - - Play the Man. I bet Obama blinks and won’t release them starting a cottage industry in why he won’t. “
“Cottage Industry,” mind if I borrow that phrase? You may have defined a whole new wing of “The Media!”
The way to beat a Bully is to call his bluff early.
Time is moving fast, Romney: Tick-Tock.
If I was romney, and thank G-d I’m not, I would print out ten years worth of tax returns, stack them in front of me, and say flat out, “Here they are. You want them? I’ll trade them to any reporter who can produce obama’s sealed transcripts.”
Only implying the topic of “sealing” would be the buzz word which finally would bring up obama’s sealing of his past.
At this point, as many have suggested, Romney should only release his taxes when obama releases his SEALED records.
Tit for tat.
” - - - We are just going to have to ride this circus out and watch these spoiled brats fling baby food at each other.”
Axelrod loves it when we think like that - - - - .
I just don’t see Romney and his ‘spokespersons’ have that fight in them.
Also I am with Romney camp on this, let others ‘debate’. Focus on how miserable a job Obama has done.
That is a GREAT strategy.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Howard Dean had all of his records as Gov. of VT sealed and he almost won the Dem nomination. The left never squeaked a word about that. Those would be slightly more relevant than tax records wouldn’t they?
There really isn't enough bandwidth to cover it.
Oh good grief, why would he bother?
He needs to do exactly what he's doing....ignoring them.
Continually spending time and effort to satisfy their unsubstantiated accusations just lends credence to their cries.
and as soon as you give them what they ask for, they come up with yet another 'reason' to spin you through the liberal washing machine.
STOP playing their game and either laugh at them because they're ridiculous or ignore them for the children they are.

Ignore the left's rants...and hope they will go away. Don't counter attack....God forbid!!
When the Romney camp....replied to an ad claiming Romney is a murderer...with "well if she lived in MA...RomneyCare would have taken care of her"......
WHAT!~?!?!?!?!!?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!!?!!?!?
What are the specific actions needed? How many billable hours is typical? What would a firm like Perkins Coie charge?
IANAL. Anybody here know?
No, Dole McCain and Bush didn't ignore them, they engaged in bipartisan butt-kissing.

Ignore the left's rants...and hope they will go away. Don't counter attack....God forbid!!
If they're ranting yes. Why? Because they will NEVER BE SATISFIED! Why waste resources on something like that?
Don't confuse it with an actual issue either. What someone pays in taxes is no ones bloody business. It's one of those 'private' things between the person and the IRS...or at least it's SUPPOSED TO BE.
-----
When the Romney camp....replied to an ad claiming Romney is a murderer...with "well if she lived in MA...RomneyCare would have taken care of her"......
And I NEVER said that the Grand Republican Old Party Establishment (or 'GROPE') as I like to call it) isn't dumber than a box of hair.
Sorry you took it that way.
I'm just pissed...at the GOP, Romney, etc....
Well, you posted it to me, so yeah, I took it that way.
We're all po'd at our idiot 'leaders', and I think the blatant LACK of leadership is one of the things that upsets us most of all.
Who knows? Maybe all this energy will finally snowball into the enema our government so desperately needs!
So stay pissed, my FRiend!
:-)
Stay safe!
FRegards,
” - - - Oh good grief, why would he bother? He needs to do exactly what he’s doing....ignoring them.”
Axelrod loves it when we think when we think like that - - - .
Axel could care less what we think..... he programs BamBamKennedy's teleprompter. He is in the same leaky boat as the immoral GOP-e... this is their food fight for those lusted and coveted Independents.
Now how many 'Independents' know the difference in tax rates, that most likely will be demonstrated by Romney's tax returns.... Not exactly something Romney can explain in 30 second sound bites. BUT the GOP-e are going to spend their wad of campaign dollars trying to seduce that bunch of moderate voters Frank Luntz always parades out for the sheep to watch.
what Mitsy ought to do is this:
Tell Odumbo to pick any three years and he'll release his tax returns:
Year 1 -- in return for release of all Harvard Law transcripts and documentation
Year 2 -- in return for release of all Columbia transcripts and documentation
Year 3 -- in return for release of all Occiodental transcripts and documentation
Then kick back and watch the worm turn.
WRONG!
Commie Planner Axelrod is counting on the overpowering lazy McCain-Mind-Meld to make it easy once again for his creepy, commie Kenyan to beat the always timid and aloof RINO de jour, like a drum.
Rule Number One: Never make deals with commie dictators.
Rule Number Two: Always follow rule Number One.
” - - - Anybody here know?”
The clue is in the TigersEye.
The Number 31 is the reply.
The pattern of deceit is in.
If Romney calls their bluff
He just might, could win - - - .
YOU ping me to this thread only to repeat the same idiotic statement you made the first time without even bothering to acknowledge anything else that was said?
Axelrod loves it when we think when we think like that
Tell me, O Kreskin, who made you privy to what Axelrod thinks....more importantly, why should we care what your interpretation of his thoughts are?
Unless........Valerie? Is that you?
---------
Do us both a favor and don't ping me in the future.
Thank you.
I voluntarily and initially made a comment to the thread. My only excuse is I've been on so many types of these threads today.
You forgiveness is appreciated, but not expected.

That said, it is still my humble opinion that issues like this are the distraction. Romney not sealing OR step-fetching his tax records fast enough to suit the Dems is immaterial. NO ONE should be forced to do such a thing, either by law or political pressure.
No problem, I have a REALLY thick hide.
What I suggested was a chance for timid, spineless, RINO Romney to call Obama’s bluff, shame The Media into having to admit that Obama is doing the same evil SEALING that Romney would be doing.
In short, Romney would force the issue of Obama’s sealing his secrets into the 24/7 spotlight of The Media.
Romney is to dumb to be a successful politician against the street-wise commies of Chicago. Romney plays not to win, but to “fight the good fight.”
Here it is August, 90 days or so left before election, and Romney is still trailing in most polls of most States.
If Romney loses, it will be his own damn fault.
The above is your vanity.
WRONG! Commie Planner Axelrod is counting on the overpowering lazy McCain-Mind-Meld to make it easy once again for his creepy, commie Kenyan to beat the always timid and aloof RINO de jour, like a drum.
Why did some of our relatives have that first TeaParty? It sure was not over the release of some politician's tax records. It was about taxation without 'representation'. Now whether that be redistribution of a nation's wealth, or the enslavement of our children not yet born, any action legislated by Congress, ordered by the executive branch or judged by some supreme judge, that requires we the people to pay from the fruits of our labor is a tax.
Our cunning public servants sometimes call these taxes a mandate. And you can even hear some so called conservatives swoon over the 'compassion' to be sprinkled out like stardust over the less fortunate.
Mitt Romney's political troubles with the base are NOT his tax returns. It is his apparent born and bred liberalism that permeates the GOP establishment. Romney's tax records food fight is NOT about conservatives, it is about class warfare to get out the lazy liberals that believe that redistribution of wealth is their government enforced right. The Obama campaign of organizing OccupyWallStreet is about as twisted as these liberals can get, considering it was WallStreet bundles and many like minded liberals that bought and paid for the 2008 election of Obama.
Romeny during this primary season demonstrated he campaigns like a liberal so I am going to observe him and his GOP-establishment team take on these 'fiery darts'. Romney and his GOP-establishment have already told me they do not need my vote, and they could care less what it literally means for this nation's prosperity and blessing to be reclaimed.
This is a liberal food fight and has NOT one thing to do with picking a God-fearing leader. The best we can do is to make sure we vote for God-fearing leaders to reign in the darkness and insanity permeating out of Congress, that up to date has danced Obama's/Axelrod's dirty dance.
