Sue him for libel and make him produce his “source”.
He made up the claim and since he repeated it on the Senate Floor he should be expelled from the Senate for attempting to influence the election with lies in the People’s Chamber.

WOW! Never thought of that. Has Rush or Sean or anyone mentioned this? What has to be done to make this happen?
........................And the scary thing about this is apparently it is having an effect. Rasmussen - the ONLY reliable poll - had Romney up over Obama for weeks - now Obama is up over Romney by 2% points two days in a row................
And the real scary thing is that US voters can be so totally ignorant - no, stupid - to be swayed by these horseshit attacks!
But then, probably 50% of the population can’t tell you that “plugs” is the VP.
What has to happen for Reid to be expelled from the Senate?
He has to be investigated, judged and expelled by his fellow senators.
That will never happen. Only the people of Nevada, or an act of nature or nature’s God, can get Reid out of the Senate.
Now this: what would happen if EVERY senator who tried to influence an election by lying on the Senate floor were expelled??
In theory, there would almost be nobody left.
But, a quorum of senators has to be present for business to even be conducted. Very quickly, so many would be expelled there wouldn’t be enough left to expel any more, if you want to be realistic about it.
Reid made a legal accusation and the House has every legal right to investigate the allegation.
More and more people are seeing past the veneer of Democratic politics, and how utterly slimy these people are behaving. It will only hurt them in the general election.
I doubt you know much about the IRS if you can make that statement with a straight face. The IRS doesn't have the human attention to detail to be able to deem a large percentage of returns "spotless." Their computers are best at identifying returns that likely have opportunities to recoup significant further revenue. Those are the ones they go after.
Your statement wouldn't be true for the average Joe, except that Mitt Romney surely has had that kind of unique screening of his tax information because he's a top Republican candidate on whom the Left has its sights. Lest Obozo troops get taken down on felony information disclosures that are logged as anyone accesses people's tax returns, those thugs need Mitt's voluntary disclosure so they can safely come out with portrayals they may have already identified as usable for their propaganda.
Let 'em all rot. Don't show any returns.
If anything comes out without Mitt's disclosure, check the records, bring out the lie detector tests and send people to jail, including Reid.

oh certainly.
Joseph Smith wept. WTF kind of namby-pamby comeback is that!??!
Try, "Reid, you're a liar!"
Then when Reid inevitably says, "Did you call me a liar?"
The proper response is,
"I did not! I am calling you a goddam liar, and a senile drooling old fool to boot!"
"By the way, I am also calling you and your son crooks."
“Reid is not saying he illegally paid no taxes but that he used legal loopholes to avoid paying them.”

Why are you trying to advance this falsehood? The only effluvia I’ve heard vomiting forth from Reid’s mouth was this Huffington Post Headline:
“Harry Reid: Bain Investor Told Me That Mitt Romney ‘Didn’t Pay Any Taxes For 10 Years’”
Why try to advance your reasoning why “it could be true”? The fact is that Reid made the whole thing up out of whole cloth! Don’t be gullible and accept as a premise that he actually heard this. If you do, you’ve fallen into their trap.
No seriously... Do you have proof or are you Bearing False Witness???
What Romney did with his personal money as a private citizen is none of Dirty Harry’s business. Let’s look at what BO is doing with our money instead. I could care less about Romney’s taxes as most, I would imagine, feel the same.
Reid’s accusation makes no sense at all, simply because Romney has no reason to discuss his personal tax returns with a Bain investor and a Bain investor would have no reason to ask about Romney’s personal tax returns. Romney’s tax returns are entirely his personal business, and his personal business would never be a subject for discussion with Bain investors. That kind of detailed personal business just isn’t discussed ever in the corporate world. In all the years I’ve worked in the corporate world, I’ve never heard anyone ever talk about how much income tax they paid. Bain Capital’s corporate income statements and tax payments, on the other hand, would be a valid subject of discussion with investors. But Reid’s accusation simply make no sense and I don’t believe a world of it.
There’s no attention to detail required. All they need to do is determine if Mitt had actually filed his taxes over that period to know if Reed is lying or not.
And if you don’t think this White House has given orders for the IRS to give special scrutiny to political opponents over the past four years, it’s you who dosn’t understand what he’s talking about.

Maybe it it time for the IRS to review Reid’s taxes!!
