Harry Reid Insists Dude Who Told Him Romney Didn’t Pay Taxes Isn’t Imaginary

You are getting quite niggardly in your accusations ~ used to be you were much more voluble.

[Kickass Conservative]

If the person is real, Harry Reid is aiding and abetting a Felon. Nothing unusual for Harry, just pointing it out.

If the person isn't real, Harry Reid is a Liar and is guilty of Slander. I know, Harry has been a Liar for decades.

Eric Holder, are you out there?

[1035rep]

That 35% only think it’s “somewhat” important. I posted the party break down and Republicans and Independents don’t think it’s important at all. There you have it. I wouldn’t give the libtards anything!

[sportutegrl]

This thing looks to me like a set up. Hairy Reams is the idiot to fall for it. How easy would it be for a Romney operative to 'say' he is a Bain employee, (hey, Romney could use a real Bain employee here) and then drop the hint.

Of course, any real reporter or politician should have enough sense to either check this out before saying or not report it. The trap snaps shut when Romney releases his taxes showing he DID pay a significant tax rate. Reed looks like a liar or an idiot, or both, and the MSM looks even more stupidly partisan than usual.

Take it and share it Ann. The libs have always been obsessed with other peoples money. I think a lot of it's just envy. I'm only concerned with what the Kenyan is doing with my money.

but Dingy won't release his returns... hypocrisy is thy name

[tanknetter]

Thats what they really need to do ... Have a guy in a rabbit suit start shadowing Reid at the public events he has booked during the current recess.

It would annoy the heck out of him, maybe even elicit an outburst. At the very least he needs to know that he can’t spew unverifiable accusations without repercussions.

[JAKraig]

Then he announced he could fly and jumped out his senate office window... . . . .

I would certainly be willing to help Harry out the window with a little push.

I truly wish H Reid was "Imaginary".

A real threat to this Republic....as is Pelosi.

he camel Romney is on is still working on the first hump and there are three more of them to go ~ he’s never going to make it. . . .

I’m not sure what you base that on, the press hates Romney, the American people realize that means he is a good guy. I think Romney will win by the largest margin since Reagan. I sure wish it was Michelle Bachman.

I don’t think it matters who is running against Obama, I think 60% of the people will vote for anybody but Obama. I realize that there are polls that show Obama ahead, if the poll is anywhere but Washington, DC then they are wrong.

[Iron Munro]

The source is real alright.

Harry knows him like he knows the back of his own hand.

[Iron Munro]

[muawiyah]

Let's say we get 10% more votes this time than last and Obama suffers a 10% loss. That means we get 64.9 million, and Obama gets 62.1 million ~

Or, let's say we get 5% more votes and Obama gets 5% less. That would mean we get 62 million and he gets 66 million.

Last time that happened was...... well, when Roosevelt shellacked Hoover, he got 52% more votes than had Smith in the last election, and Hoover got 26% fewer votes than in his last election.

I think that's the record for the last couple of centuries ~ and there's nothing near it!

In that 1932 race you actually had 5.5 million voters switch from Hoover to Roosevelt, and an additional 2.2 million show up for the first time as Democrat voters.

That shift entailed wholesale abandonment of the Republican standard by a huge number of people.

Tell me what groups of Democrat voters are going to give up Obama (or just not vote at all) and jump for the otherwise bland and far from charismatic Romney?

I don't see the numbers there, nor the rationale, for a Roosevelt type realignment of the two major coalition parties.

[RightWingConspirator]

Harry Reid, the Jerry Sandusky of the US Senate.

[muawiyah]

I'd give you an accounting down to the lost pennies in my return plenum system if I were running for President.

Least I could do for a country where I'm asking for a job in charge of the nuclear arsenal (their lives in my hands) and a right to dig through their income tax returns if i want.

I think you don't prize this office near enough.

[1035rep]

“I think you don’t prize this office near enough.”

He is giving what is required. I hope Romney doesn’t respond to this silliness and if he does at least wait until October. Better to let them chase their tails and look the fool, then make liars out of them. I’m sure if he really didn’t pay taxes the IRS would be after him.

I think Dingy Harry really stepped in it again.

[Mike Darancette]

Romney already released his records in 2008. All he has to do is what Clinton used to do; get an affidavit which says he paid taxes.

Or he could release heavily redacted page 2 of his 1040s showing that money was paid.
