"There is no whining in politics. Stop demanding an apology, release your tax returns." - John Weaver, a veteran Republican strategist, after presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney said anew that he won't go beyond releasing his 2010 tax records and, before the election, his 2011 taxes.

1. What tax returns? I'll bet there are none before 2010. Well, no payments, for sure. nt

2. Nice!

The problem is "whining" is all Romney has. He cant release them because that would likley expose him as a liar and possibly a criminal. So his only recourse is to continue lying and whining.

3. The Fellow is Right, Sir

And that the returns are shielded still simply demonstrates there is much damaging material in them....

"Romney loves America like a tick loves a dog."

4. Interesting

This is not the typical Democrat talking. What does this mean about the fear about this issue AND the possible re-vetting of the candidacy behind the scenes?

To those worried about another Great White Dope seizing the fake road of distraction, Clown show, Ring three "Performing after the elephants". Of ccourse we know the script, the distraction, the bluster but it still means Obama wins substantially more, perhaps beyond the dreams of devastation if the outpouring of smoke means the house is almost burned down.

Money. For all the big stuff available, millions have already been wasted and distracted down to the Anointed. So too the wheels of the organization and organized fraud. All those wheels slip off the tracks
MORE if Romney is unseated now. The amount of financing IF at all possible would have to come through incredible(and for once PAINFUL) huge one percenter funds- and fast. That with the prospect of it being a sinkhole or simply staving off a degree of disaster and making oneself a total loser outsider(and less powerful in money and influence) won't make up for the redoing on more fundraisers, less time, more confusion, retreat, weighing of options, moving of more faux citizens to their offshore havens.

Campaign on the ground will be substantially hurt, a national Presidential team impossible, importing say the Bush veterans into the center of the bonfire unlikely, probably impossible.

If the DOJ simply went about stopping election fraud by the GOP ALL the resources would shift into a shell of a POTUS candidate bubble and the House races(if it hasn't already).

They should break that fraud of a party over their knee like a dry stick, IMHO and stop sustaining the fraud of bipartisanship and that fraud of a rich man's prophylactic.

5. Bravo! This needed to be said! Hope you will consider fashioning it

into an OP by elaborating on some of your thoughts more.

6. The few times I try that

I can't stay to continue it or, more typically, it vanishes just as fast and just as unread as anything else.
The likelihood and penalty for saying something really dumb increases exponentially too.

7. Perhaps, but

I agree that it would be a good read and I'd like to see it.

[coalition_unwilling]

8. I'll second that emotion - n/t

[lunatica]

14. I 3rd it

I would like to see more

9. What is Mitt hiding?

We all know what he's hiding, but that needs to be a constant refrain from now til November.

[savalez]

10. I want to see the ad that says

While running for office, Mitt's father, George Romney, released 12 years of tax returns saying "One year could be a fluke, perhaps done for show."

Mitt Romney has only released one year of tax returns.

Today, George Romney would not even trust his own son.

Should you?

[Amonester]

12. +1M

I truly Hope it's in the works.

Or a keeper for after the convention material is okay also.

11. TRANSLATION: "Stop demanding an apology, release your tax returns

...and give me a job..."

13. His accountant probably managed to get Rmoney huge Oil Co. like subsidies

and he doesn't want us to know.

Perhaps he wants to be Pres. because he lost his big govt teat at the end of the Bush years and he wants it back.

15. Somebody needs to caption that scene from "A League of Their Own" with Tom Hanks yelling

"THERE'S NO CRYING IN POLITICS!!!"

[B Calm]

16. I hardly ever agree with a republican

strategist, but this time I will!

[Quantess]

17. I think Romney should keep pushing for an apology.
