Romney in 2002: Opponent can’t claim disclosure until she discloses husband's tax returns

[font size = 5]Romney campaign in 2002: Opponent “can’t claim to be disclosing anything until she discloses the returns of her husband.”[/font]

How many times a day do we ask Willard Romney to release his tax returns?

And how many times a day do we catch Willard Romney being a liar and/or a hypocrite? The quote by Eric “Etch A Sketch” Ferhnstrom in the blog headline is from an April 2002 piece at Highbeam Business. Our buddy Andrew Kaczynski at Buzzfeed found it:

But in 2002, during his first run for Governor Romney attacked his opponent Shannon O’Brien for not releasing her husband’s tax returns. [...]

The Romney campaign accused O’Brien, who released her tax returns every year since 1998, of being disingenuous by releasing her but not her husband’s returns, a former lobbyist who had worked with Enron.
