It's a good thing there's nothing more important to worry about for our country than unproven and unsupported claims by an anonymous party about a candidate. Reid should be above this kind of bullshit, but he's learned over the years that this kind of crap can pay off handsomely (Swift boat anyone?)

So is this all the dirt they could dig up on Romney? i mean i don't keep up much with this stuff, but really its kinda retarded. Its like the media spends so much research to dig up any slightest piece of dirt on someones carpet, then shove it in the public's face like it really pertains specifically to his job requirements.
If i were hiring someone for a job, i don't think i'd care about their income taxes or some Czechoslovakian whore from 8 years prior

"Apparently, if I understand the Obama Campaign
strategy correctly,

I'm supposed to be more angry about what
Mitt Romney does with his money

than what Barack Obama does with mine."

I suspect this is what could be happening. He legally exploited every loop hole in the tax code to reduce his tax to almost nothing. The ultra-rich don't want this coming out as general knowledge to the public that the ultra-rich can use there expensive CPA's to wiggle out of paying taxes on their investment income.

all the while complaining that they pay so much taxes and the middle class should pay so much more, get their loopholes cut, and end ss and Medicare.

when the rich say broaden the base, they don't mean them.
