Romney's Tax Returns

Though tax returns are regularly released in Presidential campaigns, and birth certificates are not, there are certain parallels between Romney's tax returns and Obama's various records. Thus, Freepers' insistence that Romney not release his tax records makes for especially amusing hypocrisy, when it's not birther madness:

rbmillerjr makes some totally reasonable requests:
Tell you what, you get Obama to release his birth certificate, baptismal records, college transcripts, college dissertations/papers...

We’ll release more tax returns.
jz638 wins the prize for least self-conscious post I've seen in a long time.
Personally, I don’t think it matters how much information the Romney campaign provides, the Obama campaign and his willing accomplices in the media will never say it is enough. They don’t want the truth, they don’t want transparency, they want Romney destroyed.
Rapscallion is trying on a new outrage for size:
Obama has a felony for soliciting in China The Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) prohibits any foreign national from contributing, donating or spending funds in connection with any federal, state, or local election in the United States, either directly or indirectly. It is also unlawful to help foreign nationals violate that ban or to solicit, receive or accept contributions or donations from them. Persons who knowingly and willfully engage in these activities may be subject to fines and/or imprisonment.
Even assuming Obama did findraise in China, there are American citizens in China.

amishman is despondent because not all Americans hate Obama like Freepers do.
Nobody cares about anything. That’s why his approval stays in the mid-40s despite being the worst ever. The worst imaginable news against him would not cause his support to drop below 40%. There is never any outcry from the sheep over anything anymore. There’s more outcry over DirecTV customers losing their Viacom channels than over the Obamacare ruling, Fast & Furious, or any of his many power grabs this summer. I’m pretty sure we’re finished as a productive nation/society.
SeminoleCounty knows anyone who advises Romney to release is tax records is totally liberal!
If GOP or conservatives are not making the Obama Birth Cert?Eligibility a major issue, by now, they are actively helping to re-elect Obama

Pushing Romney to release records, and giving Obama a pass...is just being a Liberal Democrat
WOSG assumes tax shenanigans are part of being rich:
Romney made a lot of money.

If you think making a lot of money is a crime, then you’ll be outraged by a multi-millionaire’s returns / life etc. no matter what’s in the tax returns. If you believe in the American dream and free markets, its BFD.

  1. Maybe Sarah Palin didn't run because she didn't want people to know how many millions she raked in over the past few years. Those who wholeheartedly supported Ms. Palin might look at her tax returns for the past few years and wonder if they had not been scammed.

  2. Re: "Tell you what, you get Obama to release his birth certificate, baptismal records, college transcripts, college dissertations/papers... "

    Answer: You get Romney to release his long-form birth certificate (he has shown only the short-form, which does not even identify the hospital), his birth certificate, baptismal records, college transcripts, college dissertations/papers... (which Romney has not shown either)" And we will believe that Romney was born in the USA, went to college, was baptized, Etc.
