Mitt Romney has no intention of releasing more than two years of tax returns because he doesn’t want to give Democrats more fodder for attacking him, he told NBC’s Brian Williams Wednesday. Romney repeated a point he has made several times, arguing that Democrats will twist the returns into something that can be used against him.

“And what we’ve noted is our Democrat friends, take what’s there, twist it, distort it – dishonestly use it in – in attack ads. I just don’t wanna give ‘em more material than is required,” Romney said.

OK, I'll ask, which 2 years is he going to release? And will they be redacted?

1. I think Rmoney needs an

Tax audit. Let's dig shall we. I want to see this asshole in jail by November.

2. Keeerist!

Then he should not attack President Obama, either! What a jerk! Who the hell is he that his record is not to be scrutinized? And with a fine tooth comb with an eye to finding something to attack him over? Like he's not doing it.

3. Romney should wear a paper bag over his head like The Unknown Comic

of the old Gong Show. He's the head circus clown of his party and he wants to be completely unknown. I mean his argument that releasing tax returns might give ammunition to Obama is something he could say about any information about himself at all. He's basically insisting that the American people should have no information on him about anything.

4. He ain't gonna release anymore years

The 2 years he is talking about are the 2 years he has already released, 2010 and 2011.

5. He has released 2010 and says he will release 2011.

There are some documents concerning his offshore accounts that were not released but I guess that technically they are not part of the return itself.

To my knowledge nothing is redacted.


The two problems with this IMO are:

1) Yes, McCain only released 2 years of returns but he was a Senator forever and had to release financial disclosure forms for all the time he spent in office.

2) The guy didn't have a job for those two years. What good are returns from a guy who doesn't even have a real job?

6. Damn I really hate this lying idiot. Nt

7. He has not released all of 2010. so he has not released even one year.

8. "Don't worry Roboman, it is only the people that wonder what the hell you have been doing."
