Why won't Mitt Romney make his tax returns public?

Letting my mind wander a little ...

• We know that Willard Windsock is an LDS Bishop and Stake President. These positions require a Temple Recommend.

• We know that one of the primary worthiness requirements for receiving a Temple Recommend is payment of a full tithe ... 10 percent of all income.

• We know that disclosure of Willard Windsock's tax returns would enable Saints to instantly determine how much the RINO pitches in each year.

• We know that there have long been rumors of dual standards concerning compliance with the Word of Wisdom, the Witness, and the Law of Tithing for prominent LDS members ... one set of rules for the Chiefs and another for the Indians if you will.

Might it be possible that the RINO's release would indicate a glaring exemption from the rules for earning godhead and thus cause dissension within the ranks of the faithful?

Many of you know far more about this problem than I ... what say you?

“What say you?”

I say that’s one I hadn’t even thought of!

All I know is any gazillionaire lawyer-politician pushing 70 has a lot to hide, and there’s no way he can win the general election in this political an economic climate.

It is possible that you are on to something here. If Mitt Romney is given a temple recommend despite not being qualified for failing to fully tithe, it will be embarassing to someone.

I'm not Mormon so I don't know how the temple recommend process works precisely. Is the candidate just asked if he is a full tither or does he have to provide documentation? If the candidate is just asked and Romney isn't qualified for the privileges he received, then two possibilities jump to the forefront. One, Mitt was not truthful in his response. Two, Mitt was truthful and the LDS "Church" or its representative bent the rules for Mitt. Either way it is embarassing for Mitt. In the former case, it just another example of his problem with the truth. In the latter case, Mitt is going to have a hard time convincing people that he didn't know that he was receiving favored treatment.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the legalism of the LDS "Church" undermined the candidancy of its first serious Presidential candidate?
