Off Topic Board

It doesn't really matter if they are wrong or not. My point is that you stated that none of the people "screaming" for Romney to release additional returns would vote for him anyway, as if this was some liberal circle-jerk, when in fact a number of prominent conservatives have called on Romney to do so. This is not the one-sided argument you make it out to be.

My reluctance to vote for Romney has nothing to do with anything that might be found in his tax returns. My interest in this story is based on my belief that he's making a campaign mistake in not releasing additional returns - not because I have any interest in what they might show.

Those on the right that are encouraging Romney to release his tax returns are doing so because they believe it will appease the left. they are wrong...like always. The left is never appeased. They lie, distort and demand more. They will continue to do whatever it takes to keep the public and their bitches in the press off the real discussions surrounding this election...the economy and job; both miserable failures under the current administration.

Every poll over the last week or so has shown the public doesn't give a shit about Bain, tax returns or anything else Obama has thrown against the wall. they care about jobs, the economy and, MOST IMPORTANTLY (according to the two polls released today), which candidate will get the fuck out of their lives and let them succeed. Both polls released today showed that a vast majority (62% and 64%) believe government does more harm than good in regards to the economy. And that is where these two candidates are showing their differences...Romney actually believes in the people of America, their spirit, fortitude and ABILITY to accomplish great things and Obama believes you can't do shit without the government providing the pot.

You are out of your goddamn mind if you think that anyone at NRO is interested in appeasing the left.

Tell me again that this isn't a political ploy...

and of course I agree that I miss a shit load of posts. Obviously I read the posts I read and I remember the ones I remember. Missing a shit load of posts does not mean I don't remember the ones I remember. I remembered the post you made about what you'd adivse a candidate to relasee perfectly and that's why I referenced it. I was wondering if you had possibly had a change of heart (I didn't declare you did....just wondered). So I asked. Nothing wrong with a change of heart. You feeling something is neccessary is a bit hard to define without clarification as many people could have different definitions of wht is necessary.

Now as to me missing a shit load of posts, like i said, of course I do. I read about 1 in 10 threads that are on the first two pages when I visit the board. I'd say of all the posts on the board I've missed more than 99% of them. And of the less than 1% I read I bet I remember the general message of 1% of those. So while I don't claim to read or remember every post I do remember the ones I remember. I remembered your comments on what you woud advise a candidate to release but obvioiusly not every post you've ever made and if you made one that contradicted that post I either missed it or don't remember it. I assume you are referening to me remembering Morethana claiming to be a con in his group of friends when talking about me swearing up and down. I saw the post and I remember it. I also know he did make contradictory posts that he was center left, center right, and plain ole center. Thats why I like to needle him when he insults all cons

it is stunning to me if he thought he'd run for POTUS and this wouldn't come up. especially with the blame the rich culture we live in.

of course it is. i don't think anyone denies that

Boehner and Republicans agreed with her. Congress, on both sides of the aisle, would be very embarrassed if their tax returns are exposed. A lot of insider trading and other dealings would be exposed.

What is the question?

It very well could be. It could also be that he has already released what every President has released, his tax returns. He has already gone beyond that to satisfy the lunative birthers, such as yourself. First he released his Certificate of Live Birth and two notices in the local papers announcing his birth. That was not enough for birthers. He then released the long form birth certificate. After that, the fringe wants something else never released, his transcripts. There is a point that one says "enough is enough." However, as the National Review stated, that is not until you produce that which is normally produced by convention, tax returns. As the National Review wrote, once you do that, you are on solid ground to refuse unreasonable requests.

By the way, what were your posts regarding ad hominem attacks again? I forgot. Can you remind me?

He seems to miss all the ones which prove him to be foolish, insincere, or devious, such as all the posts about his ridiculous claim that he intentionally refused to take certain tax deductions because he is morally superior to those of us who do take them, and he wants the federal government to get more of his money. And, I cannot go banished into that good night without mentioning, for perhaps the last time, that he seems to have missed every post which called him out about his insincere and unfulfilled promise to enlist, if and only if, his flawed and underqualified candidate got elected.
