It doesn't matter if Mitt Romney wins the Iowa caucuses tonight. He is about to experience a severe political hemorrhage over his refusal to disclose his tax returns...

While Lanny Davis is pro-Obama, and while I don't support Lanny's political positions, now is not the time to attack the messenger (Lanny Davis) which pro-Romney forces undoubtedly will try. The message is what matters, not ad hominem attacks against Lanny, as that won't change anything.

In the end, Romney can release his tax records while Obama releases his college grades, thesis paper, etc. And those have nothing to do with birtherism. To say that calling for the release of those records is birtherism is using a sweeping generalization, as they have nothing to do with birth records, though Romney is too weak of a candidate to say this or fight for this.

I must have missed something in your post. Who in the MSM or which Democrats are calling for Obama to release his college grades and thesis paper?

Romulus needs to release his tax records. And Freddie Newt needs to release his detailed records of his work with Freddie Mac. Both need to release the details.

This isn’t even relevant. Candidates generally release such records when they win the nomination, not after they win Iowa. In 2008, Obama didn’t release his until late March.

Whoever the nominee is will almost certainly release their tax records in a few months. Absolutely nothing of any consequence will happen tomorrow regarding tax returns.

Lanny Davis is also a complete moron.

Like I said, now is not the time for ad hominem attacks, though I certainly don’t care for or support Lanny’s political positions. Ad homs don’t change anything. Romney can do his part while Obama releases his college grades, thesis paper, etc.

I agree on both counts. And Obama needs to release his college grades, thesis paper, etc, too.

The rats have their moles working inside the IRS. It is only a matter of time before the GOP candidate’s confidential income tax records are released. Ask Bill Simon. He was the GOP gubenatorial candidate in California a few years ago. Parts of his audit file mysteriously appeared in the press a few days before the election. Ask Joe the Plumber.

Baloney. We can do better but this won’t send Romney under.

Not just Obama’s college grades - We want to know about his grants and other aid, his status as a student (foreign student), where he lived, etc. We want this information all the way back to high school, but especially for Occidental and Columbia. We also want to know exactly how Obama managed to gae accepted at Harvard Law School with NO obvious qualifications. Was he a “guided” acceptance, and if so by who? There are stories, Harvard can and ought to release the truth for all to know.

Whole we’re at it, how about a genuine, non-Photoshoped long form Birth Certificate? Is that too much to ask?

Until Obama comes clean, there is no way that the Dems have any credibility to ask for anything of the Republicans.

I am saying that if and when the MSM comes after Romney on this, Romney needs to ask for Obama to release his college grades, thesis paper, etc. But Romney never would, regardless of the circumstances. He is too weak of a candidate to muster the courage to even call Obama a socialist when talking to O’reilly.

Romney’s IRS file WILL be leaked. It’s the Axelrod M.O. Romney should get out in front of this, and say “I’ll release my IRS returns and college transcripts if Obama will release his transcripts and student aid forms. If Obama is SOOOO smart, this shouldn’t be a problem right?”

WHEN his IRS forms are leaked, he should then call out Obama as a coward, and hand over his transcripts and say, “THIS is how a MAN acts instead of a worthless coward that hides behind lawyers and a sycophantic media.”

He won’t do it though, he’ll play the Dubya type go along to get along punching bag. It’s why they’re called the stupid party.

As much as I despise the anti-RKBA, socialist leaning, big-brother loving liberal Rotney, and that ‘s quite a bit, I still respect the American right to privacy.

So I have no need to see any candidates tax returns in order to decide who I support.

Many corporate records are publicly available via stock holder reports, SEC filings, etc., if anyone really thinks a candidates business dealings are any of their business.

Yes the whole situation regarding Columbia is interesting. He did not graduate with honors, we know that. Yet, he was accepted at Harvard. Why?

Didn’t Clinton “choose” not to release his taxes during the election because it showed Hillary’s fraudulent commodity trading gains?

I'm not even excited in the least about someone's tax filings. That's just more B.S.

The candidates didn't do them ~ their tax accountants did.
