Did Santorum ever complete his taxes and make them public? Has not been vetted thoroughly.

Rick Santorum went home to do his income taxes on his home computer. Did he ever release them? Seriously, Santorum has been given passes by the media and the other candidates and the public. He seems like his accomplishments are weak and his grasp of issues are couched in 1990's rhetoric. He needs to release his taxes and he needs to communicate and explain in detail his economic plans for America. Agree?

“Agree?”

No, and why do you need to know?

Rick castigated Newt and Mittens of spending for all their time attacking each other. Then in his next breath he gave the both hell, can we say hypocrite? I can.

Santorum in debate: “I don’t want a trade war with China. I want to beat China, I want to go to war with China”.

Can someone tell me what his plan is in regards to this?

there is NO Constitutional requirement to release your tax returns

conversely... there is a CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENT to prove you’re a natural born citizen

anyone demanding tax returns that isn’t also demanding NBC eligibility documentation is just playing politics and needs to be ignored and ridiculed

Obviously, Willard’s negative research employees are on the job trying to dig up dirt on his next challenger. He learned from the way Obama won his congressional race in Chicago that you pick them off, one by one, until you are the only one left.

However, it doesn’t work so well when you are running as a “conservative”, but have an incriminating history of MA liberalism and big government policies on your record. Conservatives aren’t as stupid as Obama’s voters were.

I don’t care how much money he makes either. I do care how he made his money -— because that is a potential ad against him in the general election.

Let’s not be afraid to truly vet Mr. Santorum. It’s ultimately in our best interest.

Yep, but he doesn’t make enough $ to have people to do it for him. Maybe Romney can send some of his people to do it for him. You know, the people that aren’t busy assuring us Romney WON’T repeal RomneyCare/ObamaCare. Or the people that aren’t supporting the increase in the minimum wage. Better still, how about the people that have been so busy working on the negative ads against Newt! Oh, wait, I forgot they are no busy preparing negative ads on Santorum.

How about his advisors from when HE CALLED HIMSELF a “moderate republican with progressive views”?

Oh well, never mind.

I heard Santorum cheated on a math quiz in 5th grade so I'm voting for obama and flushing the nation down the toilet!

If Santorum does his own taxes, it must be a fairly simple return, and not likely to be the source of the sort of dirt you are hoping to find.

But you can be sure the MSM and the Slimeney campaign are working overtime.

See-BS has already “discovered” that Santorum is a racist.

I’m sure they will find some more dirt that will satisfy you.

Last time that I checked, personal income tax returns are not due until April 16th this year. If you owe tax $, why pay the bastards early? Rick will file and send his money in for the gvt. to waste on the due date.

he needs to communicate and explain in detail his economic plans for America. Agree?

I don't give a fat rat's ass about his, or anybody's income; and if you don't know his "economic plans" you have been living in a cave with no communications.

Agree?

I agree with you. This is all hit pieces against Santorum and has nothing to do with the issues. I am not sure I want Santorum, he puts far too much emphasis on social issues at a time when economic issues are paramount.

If I could hear what his economic plan is instead of this noise about these hit pieces it would be better. The talk of tax is designed to take him off his message, a message I want to hear. Santorum, unfortunately, has no choice but to respond. He would be foolish not to.

The worst part about all this is the GOP party establishment is what is behind all the hit pieces and non-substanative noise. The GOP establishment is the problem and they are going to walk the party right into a second Obama term.

Excuse me, but it was your beloved Senator Sanctimonious himself who said he'd release them and made the excuse that the only thing preventing him to that point was that he didn't have access to his home computer.

Either he's a liar and a fraud or he released them as he said he would.

Which is it? What are YOU afraid of, I thought Mr. Petulant, Pius and Pure could do no wrong?

Hate to break it to you Newt supporters... Newt is done, finished as a Presidential candidate,,, his biggest donor Sheldon Adelson has pulled the plug on Newt’s Presidential campaign, I guess Sheldon Adelson has seen the writing on the wall...
