1. Sounds like he will NEVER release his taxes and it won't be much of an issue soon.

He got away with this behavior in the governor's race. Why should it be different now?

Who says we can't learn a thing from Dumbya?

We're staying on this. He may never release them, but he will NEVER live it down.

he looks evasive and it strengthens the impression that he has done something he knows is embarrassing.

we deserve more from anyone who would be president. he can't just ask for or demand our trust. he has to earn it.

everything in this NATIONAL election is about taxes--who pays them, who doesn't, who is going to raise / lower them and on whom, etc. I don't know what the situation was in MA in 2002 (?) but now, on the national stage, there is no bigger topic (I know, it should be jobs, but nobody actually wants to talk any specifics about that). Just my opinion, of course.

when Romney is lying, he gives that funny little laugh. He does it each time the topic of Tax Returns....that funny laugh.
