"The October Surprise".... my speculation, for what it's worth....


I believe that Harry Reid would not say that about Mitt's taxes without knowing something.

Stephanie Cutter has said she knows something about Mitt's taxes.

I think in October we will find out.

Thoughts???

And Reid and the Dems end up looking like a bunch of giant a-holes. Even so I think the thing has already settled into people's minds.

than not paying taxes if their are felonies than I have a feeling it is going to come out before the convention.


With creative accounting someone like Mitt can get away without paying taxes legally--Morally it will piss everyone off. BUT I think there is something illegal in those pages that is going to be a massive bomb shell.

8. I have to agree. I really hate to speculate at all, ever, but in this case it reeks of illegality.

My guess is residency is part of the issue, I bet he ran for office in MA while declaring as a resident of UT.
