Rick Santorum went home to do his income taxes on his home computer. Did he ever release them? Seriously, Santorum has been given passes by the media and the other candidates and the public. He seems like his accomplishments are weak and his grasp of issues are couched in 1990's rhetoric. He needs to release his taxes and he needs to communicate and explain in detail his economic plans for America. Agree?
I do not care how much money he makes, or how much his taxes are.
It is a stupid issue.
I really don’t give a spit about the candidates taxes.
LOL
That’s funny
Did Obumbo ever prove that he is a US citizen?
Oh, and he picks his nose and scratches his butt... shocking...
I don’t get this whole fascination with candidates releasing their tax returns. We currently have a President who apparently won’t release ANYTHING. Who has the free time to care how much Santorum made last year?
He promised to release them. Promises are important.
If we abolished the income tax we wouldn’t have this nonsense about tax returns.
He is basically a cheerleader like Romney. He has not verbally explained his plans for legislation policies and goals. Feel good Conservative lingo only goes so far.

Nope, not sure exactly what you are driving at...
Taxes are only an issue if it is Romney, Rick should get a pass.
Well, then, I’m sure he will. Are you anxiously waiting by the teevee for the Big Event?
Just wait. When the media has decided the he may be a threat to Obama's reelection you will know if his family pets are neutered or not. The they will seek out anyone that has ever worked for him. If anyone close to him has for some reason has become "unhappy", the world will hear all about it.

you mean like
http://www.ricksantorum.com/defender-taxpayer
and
http://www.ricksantorum.com/spending-cuts-and-entitlements-reform
listing some very specific changes to government programs:
Implement Medicare Reforms and Innovation proposed by Congressman Paul Ryan and speed up their implementation to control healthcare costs and improve quality.
Reform Social Security and place on a sustainable path by a combination of reforms such as addressing adjusting CPI, dependent benefits and disability income benefits reforms, moving back the retirement age for younger workers, means testing benefits, annual adjustments as needed, and dedicating Social Security payroll taxes to Social Security.
Implement reforms and cost savings of up to $100 billion in March 2011 GAO report requested by Senator Coburn listing 34 areas of duplication and waste.
In FL debate he said he was going home to do them. He made it home but had his plans changed when his daughter suddenly was hospitalized. Once she was better he was back on the road. Now he’s home for a few days, and CPAC, he has a chance to get them done.
Better a cheerleader for America than the apologizer it now has. It’s a necessary part of the skill set, but, as you point out, not sufficient.
Newt's marriage vows are promises.
There's a lot of slime that Santorum supporters and Gingrich supporters can throw back and forth at each other.
Your posts are predominantly anti-Santorum and only occasionally anti-Romney.
Why don't the conservatives on Freerepublic first focus our efforts on defeating Romney? Then we can pick the best conservative.
2)Did Ralph Mitchell ever say a kind word about Santorum on FreeRepublic?
3) Does anyone give a damn about 1) or 2) above?
Nope.
Nice text but he never attempts to explain in a speech.
If everyone is for newt, Romney can’t win. If everyone is for Rick, Romney can’t win.
But if some people are for rick and some are for newt then romney can win with his rino base. The rino base won’t listen to us but other conservatives will and that’s why rick and newt fans like to attack each other to be the one that beats Romney.
Maybe you don't get the paper or shelter yourself from the news, but the period of time that Rick went home to do his taxes his daughter became deathly ill and almost lost her life. I imagine he was spending a lot of time in the hospital instead of catering to worthless inquiries into his taxes. Considering he had to borrow a truck to get around IA when he started this campaign, I doubt the high finance dirt you are looking for is forthcoming.
Who was the one who really hit Romney hard on Romneycare during the Florida debates? It was Santorum.
You have got to be kidding me...
He doesn’t have to reveal them to the IRS for over 2 mos. What makes you so special that he should hurry to get them done to satisfy you?
Well, he did say Mitt and Newt should release theirs.
Why does he get a pass?
So what. This nitpicky stuff is pure unadulterated BS. How the hell do YOU know that he isn’t going to release them?
Newt wanted Romney to release his so that we could all find out about his Cayman Island accounts and blind trusts.
This same pattern of nonsense has occurred against every candidate who has challenged Romney’s position. First it was Bachmann after her good showing in the Iowa straw poll - post after post attacking her as pro-establishment, in it to help Romney as an agent of the establishment, etc. Then it was Cain - same thing. Then it was Perry - same thing. Then it was Gingrich when he had his first surge. Now it’s Santorum. Same recycled style of attacks each and every time.
What are you even talking about? How do you know he’s even filed them yet?
Do you not understand how ridiculous you sound?
Usually pushed by the same group of characters here.
Awww, hit a nerve.
Maybe he needs a pass.
How do you think we can defeat Romney if we don’t unite behind a candidate? It merely splits the vote and Romney waltzs through to be the nominee.
It is a legitimate question the poster ask.
If he does his taxes with Turbo tax how much can there be to discover??? I mean REALLY move on!!!!!
The poster just ask the question-that’s all- Chill out people. Man, you guys are rude.
“Agree?”
No, and why do you need to know?
JC
Really? His taxes are what you worry about?
Can someone tell me what his plan is in regards to this?
there is NO Constitutional requirement to release your tax returns
conversely... there is a CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENT to prove you’re a natural born citizen
anyone demanding tax returns that isn’t also demanding NBC eligibility documentation is just playing politics and needs to be ignored and ridiculed
Obviously, Willard’s negative research employees are on the job trying to dig up dirt on his next challenger. He learned from the way Obama won his congressional race in Chicago that you pick them off, one by one, until you are the only one left.
However, it doesn’t work so well when you are running as a “conservative”, but have an incriminating history of MA liberalism and big government policies on your record. Conservatives aren’t as stupid as Obama’s voters were.
I don’t care how much money he makes either. I do care how he made his money -— because that is a potential ad against him in the general election.
Let’s not be afraid to truly vet Mr. Santorum. It’s ultimately in our best interest.
Yep, but he doesn’t make enough $ to have people to do it for him. Maybe Romney can send some of his people to do it for him. You know, the people that aren’t busy assuring us Romney WON’T repeal RomneyCare/ObamaCare. Or the people that aren’t supporting the increase in the minimum wage. Better still, how about the people that have been so busy working on the negative ads against Newt! Oh, wait, I forgot they are no busy preparing negative ads on Santorum.
How about his advisors from when HE CALLED HIMSELF a “moderate republican with progressive views”?
Oh well, never mind.

I wont vote for Romney
