Harry Reid: 'Romney's Poor Father Must Be So Embarrassed About His Son' Michael Warren July 31, 2012 4:19 PM
Harry Reid unloads on Mitt Romney to the Huffington Post:
"His poor father must be so embarrassed about his son," Reid said, in reference to George Romney's standard-setting decision to turn over 12 years of tax returns when he ran for president in the late 1960s.
Saying he had "no problem with somebody being really, really wealthy," Reid sat up in his chair a bit before stirring the pot further. A month or so ago, he said, a person who had invested with Bain Capital called his office.
Romney's father, former Michigan governor and 1968 presidential candidate George Romney, died in 1995.
Reid, the Senate majority leader, also told HuffPo that he had heard Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney didn't pay taxes for 10 years. Reid said a former Bain Capital investor, whom Reid didn't name, was the source of this information, although the Nevada Democrat added he wasn't "certain" that charge was true.
"Harry, he didn't pay any taxes for 10 years," Reid recounted the person as saying.
"He didn't pay taxes for 10 years! Now, do I know that that's true? Well, I'm not certain," said Reid. "But obviously he can't release those tax returns. How would it look?
"You guys have said his wealth is $250 million," Reid went on. "Not a chance in the world. It's a lot more than that. I mean, you do pretty well if you don't pay taxes for 10 years when you're making millions and millions of dollars."
Not paying taxes for 10 years . . . that qualifies Mittens to be a Democrat in good standing!!!
These Dems, they’re so damned good at knowing what other people think, aren’t they?
Here’s Harry Reid, he thinks he knows what Mitt Romney’s dead father is thinking about him. Nancy Pelosi thinks that Jews only support Mitt Romney because they’re good in business and they’re just looking for a tax break. And Republicans in general, hate women because they’re less than eager to pay for contraceptive services. They really, really want to see women bleed to death after having been forced to undergo back alley abortions. And then there’s the poor they wish would go away and die any time they want to restrict welfare benefits. And Mexicans, just looking for a better life, why, those dirty Republicans just want to inflict pain upon them by making them stay where they were born instead of letting them come here and enjoy the blessings of a runaway welfare state. Not only would Republicans deny these immigrants health care and education, they even refuse to let them vote.
It’s actually mutual; dementia is suffering from Harry Reid.
Wouldn’t we love to see an audit of Harry Reid’s lobbyist sons’ tax returns? I bet their Dad would be so proud
Rory the candidate with many magic PACs

Not exactly, Bishop George Romney used to tithe as required to the Mormons, we don't know how much Bishop Romney gave of his inheritance to the Mormons, but everything that he gives goes directly or indirectly to Mormonism, Tom Cruise is probably in the same situation with his cult.
If you know the details of how Bishop Romney dealt with his inheritance then share them with us.
I'll wager that if Harry's father could see his son now he would wish that he had remained celibate.
Reid just isn’t qualified to personally attack anyone....
Mitt has been working to become president for the last 10 years, except for the part when he was governing Massachusetts as a pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-homosexual agenda, Obamacare democrat.
I can picture, in my mind’s eye, God doing a double face-palm over having created Harry.
If George Romney was a self-made man, just who did he inherit money from?
George Romney would approve of Mitt Romney.
Mitt was with his father when he stormed out of the 1964 GOP convention in protest of Goldwater and conservative republicans winning the nomination.
Mitt was evading the draft while George ran as the anti-war presidential candidate against Reagan in 1968.
Mitt left the GOP when Reagan won the nomination in 1979, George Romney was a Rockefeller gop-e republican who would be very pleased with his son and his politics and his efforts and successes against the Reagan/Palin wing of the GOP.
If he succeeds in keeping Palin and the tea party out of the 2012 GOP convention, it will be the perfect image of the Romney family of George, Lenore, and Mitt, prevailing and winning payback for the 1964 Goldwater/Reagan convention and their generations of suffering humiliation and defeat at the hands of conservatives.
It was Bishop Mitt who inherited from his father Bishop George.
The Romneys have always been powerful and wealthy, they are royalty within Mormonism and it’s inner circle of wealth and power.
The Romneys became Mormons in England and came here to personally serve the Holy Prophet Joseph Smith with his dozens of wives, in 1842.
What worries me a lot more is that Obama’s father would be proud of his son.
Too bad dueling is illegal.
wretched little hemorrhoid... feh
Harry Reid’s momma brought him up wrong.
Barry Obama’s momma didn’t even bring him up at all.
That’s OK Harry. Every single dead relative of mine going back 6000 years hates the guts of your political party destroying the best country God ever allowed to exist. And Harry since you are currently the Senate leader that hate is boiling right up under your smelly socks.
I’m amazed they’re feeling that fearful of losing they’ve proceeded on to open, blatant character assassination. Must be some seriously frightening internal poll numbers out there.
Oh, by the way, Harry... why are you keeping so quiet about your penchant for little boys? Why not make pedophilia a plank in your party’s platform this year?
