Will It Matter ...

[1StrongBlackMan]

to romney leaning supporters and "undecideds" (if there really is such a creature) if:

1) romney's tax returns show undeniable evidence that he evaded taxes?

2) romney's tax returns show undeniable evidence that he committed voter fraud in 2010 when he claimed residence and voted from his son's unfinished basement?

3) Would any of the damage (assuming one or the either would cause damage with the electorate) be mitigated by the method of disclosure, i.e., whether romney releases the documents vs. President Obama's campaign's (or some other party) release of the documents.

1. Not to the R base, especially tea baggers...

Let's no longer let them get away with "tea party", they are "tea baggers", plain and simple.

[malaise]

2. Not if he plans to steal the election

with the new poll tax

[lunatica]

3. Not if they're voting against President Obama

Even Boehner says that there will only be 2 kinds of voters in the Presidential elections this year. Those who vote for Obama and those who vote against him.

4. #1 yes

#2 no
#3 yes, although I figure there must be some reason he is unwilling to do so.

5. These are voters who BELIEVE in base-less exceptions to the rules. It's part of their

mindset that there are those who DESERVE, for non-rational reasons, to break the rules.

There are two things I think might affect that attitude:
- If the bank connections can be traced to their own personal losses, i.e. a job, a failed 401K, a bankrupt pension, that's stuff that harms these voters directly, so Rmoney will be BLAMED big time if those connections can at least be outlined with high-order connections.
- If there is War Profiteering funds flowing at least in the direction of Rmoney FOREIGN accounts, especially the Swiss bank account. Everyone knows now what a crime the war on Iraq was. Many Americans suffered and died and that matters to Rmoney supporters.

I don't think the method of disclosure will matter to his voters, but to the rest of us, if Rmoney discloses himself, I wouldn't trust that information one god-damned bit.

6. Those things would only matter if

the president woke up tomorrow morning and discovered that he had turned caucasian overnight.

Extremely wealthy Americans have a good reason to support Romney. Poor and middle class Americans have only racism.

7. To be fine ...

Poor and middle class Americans have only racism.

... Racism or ignorance.

[spanone]

8. character matters to most americans. integrity too.

9. Would evidence ...

of romney having committed voter fraud, a felony and, arguably, included as a "High Crimes and Misdemeanor" that is left undefined, but an impeachable offenses, since the franchise is foundational to a functioning democracy, make him ineligible for the presidency?

10. No and No. The Tee Vee Nooze Will Bury the Story

[rufus dog]

11. Yes

It will keep some of them from voting and that is the objective.

59 million people (plus) voted for McCain/Palin in '08. The objective is to keep the number at a like level for the Serial Liar.

12. Are you shitting me?

Corporate owned scumbags !!!
