Mitt Romney is still Mitt Romney...

If I take my old junk car into Earl Scheib to get a paint job, it is still just an old junk car. The last debate performance was no more than a paint job.

He still has not released even one complete tax return. We still do not know everywhere that he has his money invested? He could be invested in Syria or Iran as far as we know? We do know that he was, at one time, invested in a Chinese energy firm that was connected to Iran.

From the information we can glean from the small bit of information he has released, we know that he is invested in the Cayman Islands and Switzerland and other places. This is simply unacceptable for anyone running for President of the United States.

Also, from his own estimate, he only paid 14.1% tax rate last year on the tax return that he made public. We do not yet know the revisions that he will make on that return. Most likely, the tax rate will be much lower when he makes that revision.

And nobody knows how he could legally have a $100 million dollar IRA account in overseas account. Just like his proposed tax cuts, it doesn't add up.

Furthermore, no-one knows what role the Mormon Church plays in his political beliefs or his policy statements? Does he write that off as a charitable deduction or does he still have access to that money as a leader in that church?

Everything shiny always gets our attention momentarily. Mitt Romney got a new paint job. However, when we look under the hood, it's the same old piece of junk.

"Can we assume that the positions you took at the last debate are your present positions?"
