“Mitt Romney said he will not release his tax returns if he wins the Republican nomination for president, a rare move for a candidate.
When asked if he would, Romney, in an unaired segment of an interview with MSNBCs Chuck Todd, said that he doesnt intend to release the returns.
I doubt it. I will provide all the financial info, which is an extraordinary pile of documents which show investments and so forth, he said, according to video provided by NBC.
When Todd pointed out that Romney had asked Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) to release his returns during their 1994 race, Romney reiterated his remarks.
Never say never but I dont intend to do so, he said.

If Romney is smart, he will counter soetoro/obama/soebarkah with this:
‘I learn from obama, the master at playing by a different set of rules, especially anti-constitution rules. I learn from obama, the master at hinding from the American people his identity and birth status which he doesn’t want known.’
If Romney is brave enough to challenge the usurper this way, he has my vote!
