I have to admit. That is a unique excuse. I can't let the people see my tax returns because Obama might pick through them and distort and lie about 'em... Sorry, not good enough Mitt. We still want to see the tax returns if you insist on still running for President of this country. You are not running to be President of the CEOs or even President of the right-wing conservatives, you are running to be President of all the people and we have something to say about it also. Release the returns!

Yet another conservative voice -- or in this case, publication -- has joined the chorus calling for Mitt Romney to release his tax returns.
The right-leaning National Review Online released an editorial Tuesday arguing that Romney may not be required legally to release his tax returns, but that at this point, he needs to do so anyway.
"It is to President Obama's advantage to fight the election out over tactics and minutiae," the editors wrote. "By drawing out the argument over the returns, Romney is playing into the president's hands. He should release them, respond to any attacks they bring, and move on."

Romney said in an interview published Tuesday by National Review Online that he is "simply not enthusiastic about giving [the Obama campaign] hundreds or thousands of more pages to pick through, distort, and lie about."
