Democrats: “Damn that Romney for paying more than his fair share.”

“Democrats accuse Romney of applying a political strategy in filing his 2011 tax returns”

Uh, he’s running for political office, in this case, the most important and powerful political office in the world. By definition, his acts should be applying a political strategy. If Romney had said 2+2=4, the Dems would say 2+2=5.

WHO THE HELL CARES!! The mediaPIGS are HATED and DESPISED by more than half of Americans...what was it 60% who probably would eliminated that establishment if possible. IGNORE the a**holes! Just a side note, why didn’t Romney demand Obozo release his college transcripts before he released his tax forms?! Yet we complain about appeasing the ME muslims, yet we always seem to cave and appease the evil RATS every demand....stupid gutless party!

[Hoodat]

Agreed. I don’t think this election is going to be a close as people are making it out to be.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Like the lamenews media and the ‘infamous secret’ tape.

LOL

Apparently I’m supposed to be more angry about what Governor Romney does with his money than what Mr. Obama does with mine.

I wonder if the MSM or his fellow democrats ever accused Plugs Biden of applying a political strategy when filing his returns, especially as it related to charitable contributions?!

In the 10 years prior to the '08 election, Biden never once claimed a charitable deduction of more than $380 in any one year, except for '07 ($995), which is when he was one of the candidates for President. Excluding '07, this is an average of about $300 per year. On incomes well over $200k, this is embarrassing. Even the $995 is a joke when you consider an AGI of almost $320k! But in Biden's feeble mind, that was probably enough to "look good" since he was a presidential candidate.

This is so weak and ridiculous. What I want is for him to claim he is planning on suing Harry Reid for slander as soon as the election is over.

"You can't give away your money. We want to do that."

Excellent reply.

It always makes my blood boil when Obama, other democrats, the MSM, or even those "Occupy" morons (being awfully redundant here) speak about taxes in percentages, trying to highlight how the wealthy don't pay their fair share. They never want to talk about actual dollars!

Romney paid almost $2M in taxes last year, and I think it was something like $6M combined in the 2 years prior to that. How is he NOT paying his fair share, when there are others out there paying nothing?!

Being 'principled' and going AWOL on election day when the fate of our Nation hangs in the balance is the refuge of a coward and a scoundrel.

Bravo! Attacking a man of the cloth for standing on his principles. BRAVO.

You bet! But not a peep about how Holder conducted an investigation that cleared himself.
This is our daily cross to bear and it will not get any better, any time soon.

[keats5]

This article and the comments that follow are unbelievable. They are now claiming he overpaid his taxes for political purposes, and the commentators are complaining that he gave to his church.

If Mitt did apply a political strategy ... wasn't that smart of him?

Dems need to shut their pieholes! They're always *b*tchen and moanin* about something

He's hiding behind the pulpit to help and enable 0bama to achieve four more years of the destruction of this Nation, and you're obviously up behind him in the 'amen choir'. You're no better, so p*ss off you.

[QualityMan]

that is exactly the point. they want to NOT talk about what is important, and instead, try to frame the conversation away from those things.....romney is the logical target.

[bmwcyle]

A recent poll taken by the DEMS showed that people react to personal views of the person and not their policies. All you will see in their reactions will be personal attacks that will usually a fantasy.

well said, and succinct
