'NATIONAL REVIEW'? Really? And WHY would I credit them for a fucking thing? Are you MAD? Yes you are. National Review is a MEDIA OUTLET.Release the Returns - The Editors - National Review Online
C'mon, you guys cant demonize the left, the media, the right and the heavens and earth all for Romney. Eventually (done it already) you'll begin to look foolish.
"Everyone doesnt like me" may have worked when you explained to your momma why you have bad grades but it doesnt work in the real world
Your are truly fucking STUPID.
Until such time that the media, the morons on this forum, and the rest of the fucking country demands the Obama release the exact same amount of tax returns, it is a dead issue.
Romeny is NOT losing any ground to the issue, and he is in fact, gaining more and more dollars from it.
Romney has demonstrated that he in fact has a backbone. This is upsetting to the mindless and spineless.
Too fucking bad
eh. it's just a sideline issue for the Obama captured media to whine and distract about instead of doing their real job..
Hell, their certainly not going talk about the Obama pathetic and consistent failures, that would be counter productive and honest reporting after all...
I see a lot of "My side vs. your side" here. So let me offer the observations of an Independent. Like I said before, Reid is probably lying his ass off. Normally the burden of proof lies on the accuser. But Romney is not being tried in a court of law, he's running for president. Thus, he is being tried in the Court of Public Opinion. So while I doubt Romney has committed any crimes, only the most faithful of ConservaRepubs feel it's appropriate for Romney to continue withholding his returns. LibDems, Moderates and Indie opinions of him declines as a result.
Obama has come out ahead in every poll since July 11. That includes FOX, Rasmussen and Gallup. Only denial would lead someone to think this isn't an issue.
When the Conservative editors of the National Review says he should release his returns, you know this isn't "just another unfair Liberal attack". It's a legitimate concern for his campaign.

There's NOTHING independent about YOU or your source.
Stow it.
1. Yes
2. No, he was told by a Bain investor that Romney didn't pay taxes for 10 years.
3. No, it was the Bain investor that lied to Reid.
4. No, Romney lied to the investor, and bragged how he didn't pay taxes for 10 years.
5. No, Romney used gimmicks and loopholes to avoid paying taxes for 10 years.
It's still in Mittens court, and don't expect it to go away. Considering the items found in the only complete return he did release, i.e. taking a $77,000 write off on a limited partnership that only produced $211 in revenue, that he calls his wife's hobby, I think that Romney wants to avoid his other schemes and embarrassments.

Obama will have blown his wad by the middle of September, while Romney will begin his spending in September.
So, no.
Call it for what it is. A witch hunt. I'm tired of the Dems whining, kicking their heals on the floor and holding their breath until they turn blue in some kind of temper tantrum.
Like all good parents, they need to learn that having a temper tantrum will get them no where.
Sure they will especially from the Leftist media already IN the tank for Obama.
Objectivity they forgot about decades ago.
They're a bunch of liars/manipulators.
Um yes. Nice little tantrum there. The rather obvious difference between us being that I am not fed my opinions and thus was able to start the OP with "Reid is probably lying".

Have you called for Obama to release his? not the current ones, but the ones 10 years prior to his being elected President.I'm not sure why anyone would think he should not release his tax returns.
This should be a normal part of the vetting process.

I don't see the upside to him releasing anymore than he has nor any further downside to not.
They want to make polical hey about tax issues that the people don't understand such as capital gains tax being the second tax on income.
I sincerely HOPE that Romeny does not release those tax returns.
Why?
Well the unknown is probably much worse than the known, in this case.
Romney probably did NOT pay any taxes during that period, and he probably did nothing wrong by not paying them.
But either way, the issue will continue to embarrass him.
If he never releases the records people will imagine that he's illegally avoiding paying taxes.
If he does release them people will KNOW that he's legally avoided paying taxes.
Either way, I suspect many Americans arent going to be happy about that reality..whatever it is.

Your analysis is off. The only mistake at this point would be allowing the democrats to continue to set the conversation by making this a point of focus. The only people who will get really incensed over this are the far left who would never vote for Romney anyway. Independents are fleeing from obama as it is, and won't focus on this unless the Romney campaign lets it get legs it doesn't deserve.

"The call for more information about Romneys financial past, however, is bipartisan. A poll released today found fifty six percent of all voters, including sixty one percent of independents, think that Romney should release twelve years of returns."
OOps.
The Conservative editors of the National Review think he should release his returns.
Are *they* the far left?
Release the Returns - The Editors - National Review Online
These republicans think he should release his returns:
George Will.
Bill Kristol.

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley.

Rep. Walter Jones. (R-NC)
Rep. Pete Sessions. Sessions (R-TX)
Gov. Haley Barbour
Matthew Dowd. (Conservative commentator)
Rick Tyler. (Republican strategist)
John Weaver. (Republican strategist)
Brit Hume (You know who he is...)
David Frum. (conservative journalist)
John Feehery. (republican strategist)
Texas Gov. Rick Perry
Sen. Chuck Grassley
Sen. Dick Lugar
Wayne MacDonald (Chair of the New Hampshire GOP)
Mike Murphy (veteran GOP consultant who has worked for Romney in the past)
LINK
Ed Rollins (Top GOP strategist)

Lugar is no longer a Senator...but spot on post!
Again, until Romney comes correct this will dog him and prevent any progress toward beating President Obama in the fall.
We don't know of course but it could be argued that whatever he's apprehensive about releasing wouldn't do as much harm as he is doing by not releasing it.
Great list. It also, I feel, underscores a point I made that his own campaign seems ill prepared for the national contest. They were able to mow down his opponents by simply spending more, destroying the other guy, and moving on. That isn't working against President Obama.
Yet.
I saw where the Governor got another $100 million in donations last month. He should start spending some of that. He's running out of undecideds to go after and has virtually no hope of winning over any of the President's supporters at this point. He should have started this back in May.
.
There has to be something he doesn't want people to see. It may be something substantive, or it may be something that just "looks" bad given the current economic climate.
Either way, why in the world would he even run with this kind of potential handicap? It's weird enough that the Tea Party-controlled GOP nominated him, but did he really think he could just say no and escape unscathed?
Politicians, ugh.

Maybe it's not the voters seeing them that he's worried about. Maybe he doesn't want the LDS church to know...they are very strict about their tithing after all...

The other thing is Carney said Reid is on his own. I do believe Reid does have Obama's blessing, but it's not as effective if Obama's spokesman wont touch it......so they know in the end it'll probably end up a loser.
