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."
Reid doesn’t know who his father is.
At least Romney knows who his “real” father was. Barack’s could be a toss-up between whomever his skank of a mother decided to bed down with for the night.
Why waste my time. If you are really open minded about this you'll do your own research, like I did.
LOL, you just admitted that you don’t know.
Which tells me you haven't checked and have no desire to know.
It isn’t our job at freerepublic to do your research, if you can’t back up your claims, then you can’t.
You don’t know what inheritance he got, what portion, nor how it was dispersed or used.
You would have then been able to come back to FR and rightly criticise WIllard for giving all of it to a school of business management that instructed students in running various government agencies.
Most seriously conservative candidates might find some other place to donate their money.
Just because you don't think there is a hell does not mean there isn't.
As you can see in post 25, we already know that at least some of his inheritance went “directly or indirectly to Mormonism”, but what are your details? How much did he inherit, was it after his mother died? How was the split with his siblings, how much did he give away, of what total received, did any of it go to any charity that isn’t related to his cult of Mormonism?
To: skeeter
“”and donated his inheritance to charity.””
Not exactly, Bishop George Romney used to tithe as required to the Mormons, we don’t know how much Bishop [Mitt]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.

Other than to suggest a remedial reading at your local JC, I can’t help you.
To quote my post to you. ""Not exactly, Bishop George Romney used to tithe as required to the Mormons, we dont know how much Bishop [Mitt]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.

I don't feel like it. Peace out.
No you didn’t, you said Bishop Romney gave his (entire) inheritance to “charity” and so far you have only claimed without a source that he gave a million dollars to Mormonism, his cult, I don’t consider Cruise giving to Scientology merely giving to “charity”.
I was much more accurate in post 25, a post that you ignore.
We don’t even know what his inheritance was yet.
Gee Harry what is your opinion of John Kerry who only released 2 years of his tax forms. Reid is a worthless little man.
Reid is nothing but a demon of the lord of the lie... obama’s daddy.
