Senior Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod slammed Mitt Romney over the GOP challenger’s recently released 2011 tax return.

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING will satisfy these assholes. They just want to see how far Romney will cow tow to their demands.

Romney is a fool if he continues to fall for it.

Then he succeeded. Half of his gross income was paid in taxes or contributed to charity. Pretty darned impressive.

If Romney took all the deductions he was entitled to Axelrod would be attacking him for that.

You see how it works: d*mn*d if he does, d*mn*d if he doesn't.

It does bring to mind anthropology, though. A good chief isn't going to keep everything he has. He wins followers and solidifies his position by not withholding. Mitt's doing that with his own money, not with public funds, and that irritates the Democrats.

Romney had this issue behind him and then he accused the poor of not paying taxes and voting invariably for Obama ~ so now everybody wants to see his income tax filings ~ jus’ trying to find out if Romney is going to vote for Obama himself! (Bwahahahahahahahha ~ why you don’t talk about the tax paying habits of other people ~ they might well want to know about your own)>

What I still want to know is why Axelrod found it so easy to round up prostitutes ~ is he in that business or what?

Mitt was right to do it this way and axelrods stupidity proves it.
Many of the bedwetters who cried about this on the GOP side have been proven wrong also

Romney need to brush this stuff off and stay on message. It is nothing more that a distraction to get him off message.

So, even in the wholly unlikely event that Axelrod said something that is actually true, manipulating a single tax return so it looks good is way better than manipulating an entire nations economy so it looks better. Sorry Dave, epic fail.
