Do Romney's 2010 tax returns reveal voter fraud?

http://www.bradblog.com/?p=9083


The conventional wisdom is that Mitt Romney has been attempting to withhold his tax returns from public scrutiny so that we'll not learn just how small the percentage is that he pays on his enormous income (which is said to be largely reported as capital gains, and thus taxed at just 15%.)

But there's another interesting issue that could be revealed when he releases his 2010 tax returns on Tuesday, as promised.

Remember last June when little-known Republican candidate Fred Karger filed a complaint with the state of Massachusetts charging that Romney committed voter fraud by using the unfinished basement of his son's house in Belmont, MA as his address for voting purposes after he'd sold his own him there in 2008, rather than registering to vote at his $12.5 million ocean front home in La Jolla, California or at his $10 million compound in New Hampshire?

...

"I haven’t seen Mrs. Romney in over two years, and she used to come in here all the time," Karger says a local merchant told him. A member of the nearby Mormon Temple and Meetinghouse in Belmont, where Mitt and his wife Ann had attended weekly church services when they lived there, said she "hadn’t seen the Romneys since 2008."

I remember this story on the voting issue (via Maddow). I'd bet that Romney has lots of contradictions in his tax returns. Lets hope anonymous has magically acquired the hidden Romney tax records, though I doubt it. I'd bet those tax records are in a walk in vault that is 20 floors beneath the ground, alarmed in some mission impossible infrared bunker! lol

C+L had a short clip of a 1902 film "Journey to the Moon" or something where they essentially fired an infantry shell at the moon and it stuck in the side of the animated face on the moon. Stewart used the same image on his show that night. This was only a week ago (maybe less).

I think they get a lot of their material from sites like this. Oh, and Hi Jon. Hi Stephen.
