Prove it !

Remember how Pres. Obama was HOUNDED day and night just to make him PROVE he was born in Hawaii, even though all evidence already proved it?

Mittens supposedly gave McCain TWENTY-THREE years of tax forms when he was grovelling to be vice president. That was only 5 years ago, so those copies EXIST.

Show US those forms, Mittens.

He claims to have NOT "profited" from having all those foreign accounts, so PROVE IT.

We already know he's wildly rich..He brags about it. We won;t learn much about his wealth, but we might learn HOW he got that way.

Were there too many red-flags for McCain?

There are copies "out there" that stretch back to 1985 (ish), and those years are the very ones we deserve to know about.

1. Of course he profited! That's why he had the accounts!

He really thinks everyone is stupid. He's playing semantic games, again; he earned lots of interest income, likely at a much lower tax rate (if there was any tax at all). No, it wasn't "profit," it was "interest."

Tomato, tomahto. He made money.

2. Offshore accounts are there to hide something or he thinks the Swiss Franc is better than the dollar

Either way, he has something to lose.

He needs to show us the returns and explain the offshore accounts.

No, Limbaugh and Bill Kristol did. Limbaugh because it made him look straight, and Kristo just wanted to look up her skirt.

but then McCain also figured out that Palin chasing him from a copter with a hunting rifle was easier than the devious Mitten-man and his minions!
