it's harry's fault: 'Reid refuses to back up claim that Romney paid no taxes for a decade'

the smell of desperation.....

------------------------


Mitt Romney told Harry Reid to “put up or shut up” Thursday in an attempt to silence the Nevada senator’s recent, rabid spate of accusations that Romney isn’t releasing his tax returns because there are years he paid no taxes at all.

Reid did neither. Instead, he issued a statement quadrupling down on his allegations.

“As I said before, I was told by an extremely credible source that Romney has not paid taxes for 10 years,” Reid said. “People who make as much money as Mitt Romney have many tricks at their disposal to avoid paying taxes ... It’s clear Romney is hiding something, and the American people deserve to know what it is.”

The chorus of prominent politicians calling on Romney to release his tax returns includes Democrats and Republicans, but none so determined — or making such damning charges — as Reid.

If the shoe were on the other foot the Right would be calling for blood - not tax returns.


Harry Reid knows something.

Mitt won the governorship by using these same tactics he is using today. The campaign will keep using these tactics, with the logic it worked before it can work again. Plus they have bought in the alternative Obama that the right has conjured up, not the real man. But that is how you wind up losing the war as a nation.
