If Barrack Obama would have refused to release his tax returns for the last 12 years, how would you feel about that? Would you think he was trying to hide something? Would you think he was disrespecting the American people?
This is what, the third or fourth thread you have started on this same subject and in each and every one of these threads you ask the same question and you always get the same answer. Barack Obama didn't release his birth certificate, and it didn't bother you, did it? He has yet to release his college transcripts or release his college admission forms, and that doesn't bother you, did it? So is Barack Obama disrespecting the American people? Do you think Obama is trying to hide something even though he admitted his grades were terrible? How do you feel about that? Now here is my HONEST (I typed in all caps because you did, I hope you see how silly all of that is) answer to your dishonest question. An important part of being a manager and a leader is to have the ability to keep your mouth shut. You wouldn't want a President who brags about secret operations to make himself look tough, especially if that bragging would get secret operatives killed or jailed, would you? So you can see that sometimes a President should carefully guard information which his enemies can and will use against him. I hope that is obvious to everyone. With the media, which already has a history of manufacturing stories like Dan Rather's Texas National Guard letters, it would be tremendously unwise for Mitt Romney to release his tax returns. If the accountant for Romney incorrectly amortized schedule 'D' capital improvements, that would be something I really do not care about, but being dumb enough to release information to those who would use that information against you whether there was anything incriminating in the information, or not, would disqualify the candidate from holding the Office of President due to incompetence. Tax returns tell me nothing about the person. Tax returns will also tell you nothing about Mitt Romney. Your mind is already made up.
So you are HONESTLY saying that it would not bother you if Obama REFUSED to release 12 years of his tax returns? Yeah, right! Any other Republican want to give me an "honest" answer?!?
I honestly wouldn't have cared. Your preocupation with Romney's tax returns is killing your credibility on this forum. His supporters don't care. Obama supporters wouldn't change their vote anyway if Romney did release his tax returns. The biased liberal media would generate further lies about Romney if he did release them. It's a no-win situation for Romney. Haven't you guys lied enough about him already? Why is it you have to lie? Is that the only way your "Do nothing" president can be re-elected?
Honestly, oh wait, it's HONESTLY it wouldn't have bothered me that Obama didn't release any more of his tax returns than is required by law. It HONESTLY does bother me that Obama doesn't release his college records. He is trying to pass himself off as some super educated technocrat who is smarter than everyone else and therefore can futz with the economy. If he is as educated as he claims, then he ought to back it up. What an incredibly snotty way to put that. You doubt that I am being "honest"? How the hell would you know? And speaking of "HONESTY", did you answer any of these questions? Did you dodge them purposely because the answers are inconvenient? Barack Obama didn't release his birth certificate, and it didn't bother you, did it? He has yet to release his college transcripts or release his college admission forms, and that doesn't bother you, does it? Is Barack Obama disrespecting the American people? Do you think Obama is trying to hide something even though he admitted his grades were terrible? How do you feel about that?
To consagainromney: Oh God! Just what this board needs. Another Lib who thinks asking loaded questions makes their case. Here’s the straight of it. The tax return and Bain Capital gambits are slim pickings for the Democrat party looking for a nuclear issue. The DNC knows the presidential election is lost; so it has shifted into a “No Landslide Defeat.” mode. Facing reality allows them to be meaner and nastier than usual as well as lie with impunity because they can’t lose any more voters than Hussein’s policies already lost. The DNC will concentrate on getting out their base to fend off a landslide victory for Romney, and possibly salvage a few seats in the Senate. Media will concentrate on convincing American voters the race is neck & neck. Incidentally, no matter how the DNC slander-machine paints Romney he never failed as a president. Hussein can’t make that claim. The best Democrats can do is predict Romney will fail, while Romney has only to point to Hussein’s failed presidency. Romney could even get away with saying “Nobody else could be that bad.”
No, it wouldn't bother me. I would be willing to assume that the IRS would have acted if he broke tax laws, otherwise nevermind.
Yeah, just as I thought. I knew I would never get an honest answer. Partisan Hacks have a special blindness to the truth...
I think you insult our intelligence. Your vote against Romney (may assume?) likely isn't based on his tax returns but on his politics. You don't honestly care about his tax returns. This is just your strategy to manipulate undecided voters.
We all did answer it truthfully. Just because you do not like the answer doesn't mean all of us weren't straight with you. How many of my questions did you answer?
I care that he refuses to release his tax returns because that shows ROmney is insulting OUR intelligence. He does not trust us. He is not being honest with us. He is not giving us the information we need to fully vet him and his credentials as "a business man" let alone his credentials to be POTUS. I will not vote for a candidate who disrespects the American people like that.
It wouldnt bother me.......but considering Obama is the most corrupt and non-transparent President in History and has released next to nothing in terms of his history..... 1) The original, long-form 1961 Hawaiian birth certificate. 2) Marriage license between Obamas father (Barak Sr.) and mother (Stanley Ann Dunham) not found, not released 3) Obamas baptism records sealed 4) Obamas adoption records sealed 5) Records of Obamas and his mothers reptriation as US citizens on return from Indonesia not found, not released 6) Name change (Barry Sotero to Barack Hussein Obama) records not found, not released 7) Noelani Elementary School (Hawaii) not released Punahou School financial aid or school records not released 9) Occidental College financial aid records not released.(These records were, however, subpoenaed but Obama lawyers succeeded in quashing the subpoena in court. No other Occi records have been released.) 10) Columbia College records not released 11) Columbia senior thesis not released 12) Harvard Law School records (not mentioned below, but not released) 13) Obamas law client list sealed 14) Obamas files from career as an Illinois State Senator sealed 15) Obamas record with Illinois State Bar Association sealed 16) Obamas medical records not released 17) Obamas passport records not released ......its become obvious that anything and everything not realeased by Obama.....is being hidden for a reason. . .
I see, so when Obama doesnt release something he is hiding something from us, but when ROmney does it, its none of our business and no one cares. Okay, glad there arent any Partisan Hipacrits who are blind to the truth here!
Prove it. Obama is more secretive about his past (not that I care) but you made a thread about Romney instead. The word disingenuous comes to mind. Who is "we"? You don't speak for everyone. Then don't vote because Obama respects us even less.
Romney is running on his record as a businessman, yet he REFUSES to show us (We the people) his full record as a businessman. If he says he can run AMerica better, then we the people need more than lip service. We want to see proof. We want to be treated with respect and truthfulness.
You have got to be kidding me, really, I haven't been on here in quite a while and I had no idea the birther movement still had holdouts. Let me explain something, every Government official in the State of Hawaii that would know has confirmed Obama's birth was in fact in Hawaii. My daughter was born at Tripler Army Medical Center (I was active duty), guess what, her birth certificate (or more correctly, CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH) looks exactly like the Presidents. It is good enough for her, and it is good enough for him. Look, don't get me wrong, I don't like him either, in fact I don't like either one of the political cesspools being pushed on us by the democrats and republicans, but at least get smart enough to research the facts man. Barack Obama was born in Hawaii, if he was good enough to fake an official state document, well guess what, any of us can and this argument is just as useless in any case. What we really need to notice as citizens, our "choice" of candidates are chosen for us. The people who choose to join the democratic party support their candidate, and the people who choose to join the republican party support their candidate. Meanwhile, the independents don't get a candidate, WTF??? In stead we are left with a choice between two political cesspools, and we have to pick which one stinks the least at the time; and the reason the US "looks" so polarized is because the only thing the two parties do agree on is that they both want to ensure they are the only two choices available. Wake up America, a far left and far right party is never going to represent the majority, they are going to leave the middle out in the cold, EVERY STINKING TIME!!!!!
It isnt so much about Barry Soetoro hiding something......its about Barack Obama hiding EVERYTHING. Its about a corrupt deceitful Shetcago scumbag who claimed to be The Most Transparent President in history......who instead has been The Most Non-Transparent. If I knew as little about Romney's history as I do Obama.......then perhaps I would agree with you......but 4 years later Im still with Brokaw and Rose......we have no idea who this Kenyan Tyrant is...... [video=youtube;hzMas1bVidw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzMas1bVidw[/video] 50 million (D)upes elected him.......because of his speaking ability.....and nothing else..... . .
So when Obama isnt transparent it disturbs you, but when Romney isnt transparent, it doesnt? How is that NOT being a hypacrit???
