I know Ann Coulter may have gone off the rails some lately, but these points I think really hit it out of the park. Stay strong on this Mitt!!

Obama's usual campaign method, used in 100 percent of his races, has been to pry into the private records of his opponents.

Yet ALL of Obomas records are sealed.

Romney should just say "I'll show you my paperwork if you show me your paperwork." I year of tax returns in exchange for his Harvard theses.

That would be great. It would sound fair to the voters, too. They never got to read his theses, or see any of his college records.

People would become quite curious - especially if Romneys request was denied. What is Oboma hiding?.

I’ve had my own disagreements with Ann Coulter during the Primaries. Her guy won, mine didn’t, Ok, Water over the dam.

She’s made a great point this time. And because Mitt Romney is pretty much squeeky clean the Obama Re-election team and their sycophants are going to have a much tougher time in finding dirt. Now they’ll have to manufacture it.

And for anyone on the Romney team reading this. I want you to kick their teeth in, (Rhetorically), and have to gum their food for the rest of their lives. No Mr. Nice Guy, any and all slander, libel or untruth’s need to be attacked directly and the one saying them needs to pay and pay dearly.

That’s the language that those who practice the “Chicago Way” understand and respect.

Not really. Ever since Romney's old man ran for President it's been customary for candidates to release their tax records from the last 10 to 28 years.

I didn't hear where anyone was considered "too rich to show", did you?

Even though you and I and Ann know there's nothing in there that's bad, his abrupt refusal to adhere to custom raises suspicions that maybe there IS something bad in there.

If he really wants to be President and not just run a losing campaign he'll probably need to come across with 2007, 2008, 2009 fur shur ~ that'll give us an idea of how much he lost in the Great Obama Recession stock market crash, and how he minimized his losses ~ that will include any multi-million dollar refunds due him from the federal government.

Otherwise, I guess he doesn't really want to be President.

Democrats are best fought with truth and righteousness ~ quibbling over the subtle nuances of procrastination isn't one of the big weapons.

I’m sure he paid his taxes. If he did not I’d still vote for him over Obama. I know that Romney does not hate America.

Ann makes a number of good points including the sarcasm of picking the lock of the “famously guarded” IRS. The Democrats treat politics as war. Every instrumentality of government, the IRS, the DOJ, the EPA, the NLRB, etc. has been converted to brown shirt Obama shock troops who will do anything necessary to get Obama reelected. The GOP still doesn't know how to wage countervailing total war.

One of the wonderful aspects of Ann is her ability to “turn a phrase” — in fact, turn it into a hammer. It is a strength, but also has a side that can offend the middle of the road reader that is too delicate for unbridled political commentary.

This column avoids her best heavy artillary — it is reasoned, full of factual history and makes the point well without her smashing furniture.

I love her ability, shown in other other columns, for hyperbolic phrasing that cuts to the bone, but this more reasoned approach is just right here.
