I did not see the debate, but regarding the release of income tax returns issue, someone told me there was a question, something about George Romney (mitt’s Dad) having released, or stating 12 years of income tax returns should be released, because anyone planning to run a couple of years in advance could manipulate a year or two’s returns, release them, and still not give a clear picture of their real business dealings. And the evasive answer Mitt Romney gave was devastating to him. Was that account about correct?
“And the evasive answer Mitt Romney gave (on taxes) was devastating to him.”
Yea, I called that one when it happened. Either Romney has to say it’s “none of your damn business” and stick with it, or he has to release them immediately, not after he locks up the nomination (just so Obama can use it against him).
The idea of say “wait until April” was the first major mistake of his campaign and he plummeted almost immediately, and he will have a tough time coming back, particularly if Newt has finally figured out what Rush has been screaming for the past two decades, which is that the worst enemy of conservatives is not Obama, nor Romney, nor Paul, nor Stalin (for that matter), no - it’s the media. And once you make it clear that you are the anti-media candidate (i.e., attacking the media, not just complaining about them, or being disappointed in them [as McCain was in 2008 when they went after his personal life in the general election]), then you win.
