According to robmoney NO ONE is entitled to know anything about him except what he wants you to know. And then only after you are brain-damaged enough to vote him into office.
.
His wife, Ann, is quoted as saying they don’t have to release anymore information because all it would do is serve as ammunition for their opponents. Really? What’s in this information that you are so opposed to us wanting to know? By her admission, there is damning info they don’t want anyone to find out.

Oh please, WHY do you need any more information then what is required by law? What kind of fishing are you doing? Why don’t you go over to a better stocked pond called Obama’s past? This fishing hole is about dry and fished out. The lame stream media has Mitt has gone back to high school and back up to oh no his wife like to ride horses. To doctoring tapes of Mitts speeches.

Hmmm, the last time Willard showed his tax returns, it didn’t work out so well for him. He was bounced out of the VP slot in favor of Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin!

Can’t blame him for being skittish about exposing them to actual voters.

Bain was created for Mitt by rich friends, just like "W"’s “business ventures”. The real history of the company sucks, and he was sole stockholder, president, and CEO, what more do we really need?? Oh, right, “evidence” and “proof” don’t count with republicons.

How about the “truth” that has been verified. that Mitt did leave to run the Olympics. Obama is on a fishing witch hunt when it comes to Bain. Obama is coming up dry.

No wonder Lord Ears selected Biden as a seat-filler. After Bi-dunce asked the same questions posed in this toon, Ears probably handed him a coloring book to keep him busy. Four years later, the book is almost done, while Lord Ears is past being done.

Even those closest to romney say his tax returns will hurt him. There may not be anything illegal, but if you show a tax return that says he paid 9, 6, or evern 0%, How would he be able to go to a middle class worker and try to say taxes are to high. The majority of people in the U.S. want to see taxes RAISED on people like romney.

There are a bunch of people commenting here that need to get off the political sites and read more than their political affiliation’s version of Romney and Bain Capital. He both outsourced and created jobs. Or at least Bain Capital and its subsidiaries did.

Mitt would be a sad excuse for a GOPer if he wasn’t able to convince the IRS to give him money, weeping for the terrible hardships he had to endure. I guess that’s the big secret: Mitt claims to be a corn-farmer from Iowa and collects ethanol-benefits, Yeeeh-Haw! Fits perfect with the setting of his “Corporations are people, my friend” speech (remember the hay-bails?)…

Exactly. There’s probably nothing necessarily illegal, but if he made a killing from ‘02-’07 (the bad stock market years) and finagled his returns enough to pay close to 0% in taxes, the only people who’ll vote for him are the die-hard Republicans, as he’ll alienate any voter concerned about their own paycheck.
His only real choice is to actually release them to show he has nothing to hide.

I heard on the radio today that Bain capital was in business in the 1980’s, during the reagan misadministration, with fascist dictators in Latin America who were torturing their people. Mittens met with those dictators in their countries. He has a lot to hide.

Yes he is and we have the right as Americans to know what he is hiding. I bet it’s something that would make even republicans sit out the election out of shame.
