I really don’t get this. Romney was governor from 2003 to 2007. He ran for president in 2008. Aside from the fact that he’s not a criminal, he’s a very smart man. You don’t have to be intelligent to realize that you really can’t hide anything in your tax returns when you’re a public figure.
I mean, he basically went from governor of Massachusetts to running for president in 2008 to running for president in 2012. Surely his tax returns from 2006 and 2007 would be “clean” because he would understand they would need to be released. To believe there’s anything damning in them you need to believe that he felt like he could go back to some nefarious dealings in 2008 and 2009 before going “clean” again in 2010.
It makes no sense. It’s just a “Please, God, let something, ANYTHING, take the focus of our miserable failures” from the Obama campaign.
I think they can’t find anything dirty on Romney. The man’s a boy scout. He has in fact released all he’s required to release, and there was nothing juicy there. So they demanded more tax returns from earlier years, to make it look like maybe, possibly he could be hiding something.
I think it would be a hoot if, at the last minute, Romney released the earlier returns and explained he resisted because it’s not seemly to make public all the money he gave to charity.
But I also like that Romney is just refusing. Enough is enough.
didn’t McCain say that his group saw 10 years of taxes when Mitt was being looked at for VP??
Wish he’d say it a little louder on the Sunday talk shows...
