3. Thanks, now how about releasing the returns we want to see

Release the tax returns that we *really* want to see, 2005-2009, Mr. Romney.

If you are looking for a way to reboot your campaign, this would be it.

Show everyone that, indeed, there is nothing to hide.

Now THAT would really change the momentum of the campaign to your advantage.

This is the single issue for which you have never once flip-flopped. Why? It makes voters wonder.

Mr. Romney, you are running for President of the United States.
This is a position of Trust.
Ronald Reagan said, "Trust but Verify."
Mr. Romney has said, "Trust me," re his tax returns.
It is not unreasonable for voters to want to "Verify.

The longer you delay, Mr. Romney, the more suspicious it appears.

Obama released 8 years of tax returns
GW Bush 10 years
Clinton 12 years
GHW Bush 14 years
George Romney 12 years.

What is the problem, Mr. Romney? Release your tax returns.

6. "You Democrats are never satified with the paperwork"

BTW: Where's the birth certificate and the college records?

8. Actually saw Dubya's undergraduate records just before they

disappeared into the nether. Not impressive, to be charitable. With Obama, the birth certificate has been out there for some time, so catch up, "Spitfire..." As to college transcripts, I don't know, but I'm sure they're no worse than Bush's, without a doubt. Those of us in education, have our transcripts in demand to even work at all. We may have earned a PhD, but still have that terrible C (same as an F in grad school) if we ever did that "poorly" in a single course.

10. Are you kidding? It's never done for them,...it's like the guys who go on about lizard people.

7. Tears for their loss

Didn't Ron Christie look like he was going to actually cry?? Faced with actually how unpopular the beliefs of Romney and his donors are Ron is almost in tears. This is the best. However the pundits need to get to the message that this is what Mitts donors must believe to sanctify their greedy search for more riches and power as they destroy the lives of good people. I almost feel sorry for Ron. Not!

9. I'm amazed at how many people don't understand that the

high tax rate only applies after a certain level of income. You can be allowed a quarter of a million, for instance, at a very reasonable tax rate. After that the much huger percentages (at least used to) kick in.
