O'Malley: McCain Saw Romney's Tax Returns And He Chose Palin

[msanthrope]

WILLIAMSBURG, Virginia — Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley introduced a new line of attack on Gov. Mitt Romney today, saying the public should be suspicious of him because in 2008 Sen. John McCain considered the now-presumptive Republican nominee to be his running mate...but picked Sarah Palin instead.

"What about running for the office of the presidency this year makes it less important than the job that he didn't get over Palin the last time around?" O'Malley asked BuzzFeed, referencing the 23 years of returns Romney allowed McCain to examine while he was being vetted but hasn't released to the public.

"But why would you pick somebody — why would you pick Palin over Romney?" he asked.

"When Mitt Romney had the opportunity to avoid paying taxes, he took full advantage of it," O'Malley said. "It didn't result in job creation here at home, it resulted in Swiss bank accounts, it resulted in shell corporations in the Bahamas, it resulted in Cayman Island accounts."

The Obama campaign is going to make that bastard limp into the convention....good.

And what the heck did John McCain see that made him choose Sarah Palin????

1. Wow. There must be some bad stuff in those returns.

For McCain to pick Palin, who he clearly wasn't thrilled about, speaks volumes about why he didn't pick Rmoney. And the plot thickens.....

11. he has a way with words indeed

no mindless talking points, always original in the way he talks about
things (at least as far as I've seen him) -- refreshing.

4. Romney showed more respect to McCain than he's shown to the American people

I'm surprised no one is framing the question in this way. Don't the people deserve the same opportunity to evaluate him as the professional politicians?

9. Maybe it was the tax returns that gave him the cerebral hemohrage that resulted in Palin.

10. I dont mean to piss on anyone's parade but if you look at the picture in your post, look at

McLecher's face and hands, and if you cant figure out why he would pick Palin, then I give up.
