By Colby King

Mitt Romney is not obligated to respond to Democratic demands that he release more than two years of his tax returns. He does, however, owe assurances to the delegates who will gather at the GOP convention in Tampa next month that their party nominee’s taxpaying history will not pull down Republicans in the fall.

True, there may nothing to hide in Romney’s tax returns, no questionable activities in the Swiss bank account he once held, no examples of gaming of the U.S. tax code, no politically embarrassing offshore investments.

But as Newt Gingrich said when asked during the debate in the South Carolina Republican presidential primary if Romney should release his tax returns, “Look, he’s got to decide and the people of South Carolina have to decide. But if there’s anything in there that is going to help us lose the election, we should know it before the nomination. And if there’s nothing in there — if there’s nothing in there, why not release it?”

1. Regrets, he'll have a few...

But there's nothing honorable
that Willard will do

Yet he can say,
and make it pay,
'I cheated money from you sucker taxpayers
MY WAY'

2. I hope the costs are steeper than Everest.

3. he's only released one

and it was not complete.

4. It's the old "If you've nothing to hide, then you've nothing to fear" mantra of the GOP...

But if there’s anything in there that is going to help us lose the election, we should know it before the nomination. And if there’s nothing in there — if there’s nothing in there, why not release it?
