Romney, In Shift, Says Obama Has Not Raised Taxes
By Seema Mehta
September 25 VANDALIA, Ohio Mitt Romney said Tuesday that President Obama did not raise taxes during his first term, contradicting a constant attack he has leveled on Obama that his healthcare plan was a tax increase.
I admit this, he has one thing he did not do in his first four years hes said hes going to do in the next four years which is to raise taxes. And is there anyone who thinks raising taxes will help grow the economy? No! Romney told thousands gathered at a chilly tarmac rally. His plan is to continue what hes done before. The status quo has not worked. We cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama. Were not going to have four more years of Barack Obama.

WTF? So now he says obama has not raised taxes, and we don’t need for more years.........so the masses take that as: I’ll raise taxes.
WTH? Is wrong with Romney?
Since the ObamaCare taxes haven't hit yet, and hit in the 2nd term if Obama gets one, isn't it arguable the taxes haven't been raised in the first four years?
Romney doesn't have to have changed positions or even be inconsistent to say both things.
My God! Did you read the statement quoted? Not even the Obama campaign can parse that as Romney pledging to raise taxes!
But we see how the MSM spins this.
But we see how the MSM spins this.
He is technically correct...the taxes won’t be in affect until January, ‘13.
No people, the polls are NOT skewed ... we just have a blithering idiot for a nominee.
I don’t trust the slimes to report anything accurately.
I believe your are 100% correct made worse by a pathetic campaign strategy.
I hope this is not true
I give up. Which way to the nearest re-education camp?
We’re less than a hundred days from massive scheduled tax hikes.
It is not rational.
I said how the masses will receive it.
If Romney is saying obama did not raise taxes, then it will appear that Romney is saying he is going to. obama has said over and over that Romney doesn’t care about the middle class.
There is nothing rational about the people who are supporting obama.

Willard isnt using it...
Does he even really want to win? I’m getting to where I doubt it.
epic fail?
Obama was barely in office 2 weeks before he signed the SCHIP bill into law and raised taxes on tobacco.
Romney needs to stop being such a PUSSY!
Why is everyone having a fit, Obama is going to raise taxes, Romney won't.
