I don't care unless Romney does it himself. BTW - this story stinks a mile away.

If this were serious, they wouldn't have given a copy of everything to the Dems, and they wouldn't have set a ransom date almost a month later!

It is not about the substance. It is about the ability to refute on some tangential bullshit.

But it sure sounds like something Rove and his gang of thugs would try to pull during the Dem Convention as some have claimed. What better distraction could you imagine? Get us all off message, looking the other way, not participating and enjoying the Dems' moment in the sun. If it's real, it will keep for another few days. Long enough to have the convention and do what it is intended to do. If it's not, it will sink back into that oozing cauldron of muck and eventually evaporate.

No one wants a big Republican (Romney) scandal of mega proportions to happen more than a lot of us hanging out here and on other boards. But let's not fall for the distraction until we're sure it's worthy of our attention. And for goodness sake, let's not miss the party going on in Charlotte. This is historical! And we need this celebration of who we are and why we are Democrats!

I want the facts to come out about Rmoney's taxes, but only through legitimate means. Even if there's all sorts of dirt in there, if they get leaked this way, their contents are going to be overshadowed by the illegal way they were obtained. And Republicans will be able to spin lots of faux outrage on the premise that, whatever the facts may be, this was really a Democratic/Obama campaign operation, "proving" that Obama is a dictator who thinks himself above the law, and a threat to our liberty.
