am i the only one hearing what ann rmoney said?

she said "the more we release the more we get attacked". what 'more'? they've only released one year. she's not only projecting but inadvertently acknowledging that there is something in those returns that we won't like. i wish someone on the tv would note this when confronted with the talking points.

something like, "What is in there that would provoke an attack?" However, there are few good journalists today.

to attack when he released 9 years of tax returns prior to the 2008 election. Why can't your husband, Mrs. Romney?

What is it about Romney's returns that's so horribly different?

get a honest follow up question from MSM. They are either in part by Bain,Anshutz,Disney or Bonneville. Doesn't leave many real outlets,does it.

So much for liberal media,huh. It's all about the money and wealth redistribution upward. The gilded age has r eturned.

9. Ann considers anything that isn't fawning, an attack

No such thing as constructive criticism in her world. And since she and Mitt are perfect, anything negative is an attack. I put her in the borderline traits category, in her mind, she is doing everything right, it is jealous and stupid people that are causing the problem. People are envious of Mitt's success and her perfect life, that is the reason they want to see the tax returns. Plus, Democrats are evil, socialist, baby killers and don't deserve to breathe.

The media is just playing a game for money and viewers.

that finger pointing! I think that pissed me off the most.
She really thinks she goddamned special. I'd break her stinking finger off if she pointed at me like that!

Mormons are taught from an early age that they are persecuted for their beliefs. It's one justification for Lying for the Lord.
