29. Dirty pool? They have to understand - they MUST be willing to play dirty.

Jul 2012

I hope our Dems are not naive anymore about how hard and ruthless and, okay, yeah, DIRTY, they're going to have to fight to prevail against these bastards. We have to meet them, dirty for dirty. Preferably MORE dirty for dirty (the MORE part being from OUR side).

We continue playing nice guy - and WE WILL GET ROLLED.

I agree. I could only have liked this any better if it had come from Biden. Robb Jul 2012 #4
Nah, it's better coming from fellow Mormon Harry Reid. SunSeeker Jul 2012 #44
Reid may lose his Mormon membership over this Sheepshank Jul 2012 #51

Yep. My speculative guess is that someone from Grampy's camp hifiguy Jul 2012 #13
What's the gamble on Harry's part? hughee99 Jul 2012 #22
I don't see how he would say this unless he has hifiguy Jul 2012 #35
He doesn't have to back it up, all he would have to to is give the name of a guy hughee99 Jul 2012 #37
That's right. He just heard it from a reliable source.A Bain investor said it. The Wielding Truth Jul 2012 #85
I'm not sure why a Bain investor would be a reliable source as to what Romney's hughee99 Jul 2012 #87

that means for a decade, he also screwed the Mormon Church out of its blood money. ChairmanAgnostic Jul 2012 #21
Did he? pscot Jul 2012 #24
I guarantee he gave the church... awoke_in_2003 Jul 2012 #42
Agreed. The Mormon church doesn't buy into that off-shore account crap. SunSeeker Jul 2012 #45
Something along that line may be what he is hiding. JDPriestly Aug 2012 #117

2010 was a very difficult election year to be Dem leader in senate scheming daemons Jul 2012 #53
The wild card is McCain - who's seen his tax returns. ehrnst Jul 2012 #55
but Macain is an honest man maindawg Jul 2012 #56
Didn't McCain already say "there's nothing in them"? NYC Liberal Jul 2012 #62
McCain seeing his taxes is a misnomer. Ruby the Liberal Jul 2012 #66
He did state that the tax returns "were not the reason he didn't pick Romney." ehrnst Aug 2012 #122
McCain has already addressed this. SlimJimmy Aug 2012 #125
Disqualifying and distasteful are two different things. Ruby the Liberal Aug 2012 #130
That's not what Sen Reid is implying though. He is saying that Romney didn't pay taxes for ten SlimJimmy Aug 2012 #132

Reid used Romney's dead father to attack him? Skip Intro Jul 2012 #90
George Romney had integrity. Mitt Romney does not. That's the point. scheming daemons Jul 2012 #91
Unbelieveably offensive to use his dead father as a means of attack. Skip Intro Jul 2012 #92
No, not really. Holding a candidate up to the ideals of his father is not callous. scheming daemons Jul 2012 #104
No. Reid isn't giving advice, he seeks political gain from this. Skip Intro Aug 2012 #110
