Why does Harry Reid....

Boca said:
refuse to release his tax returns?

Accordin' to Harry himself, “Any man or woman who will not be completely candid about his or her finances does not deserve to be in public office.”

ALL of those who choose to put themselves in the public domain should be willing to open themselves to the scrutiny of their employers, us. They reap a lot of benefits from the offices they hold and we need to be a lot more strict about those we allow to hold them.
 
Boca.....why doesn't Mitt Romney release his returns and destroy Harry Reid (politically) and assure the Republicans a majority in the Senate next year???
 
Destroy Harry politically?

You gotta be kiddin' Gordy?

He was destroyed in 2010 when he trailed Sharon Angle by 4 points goin' into the election, lost 14 of 17 counties by an average of 33 points, and won the election by 5 points.

How do ya destroy a Democrat politically?

Ya can't...especially in Nevada. Not when the mob votes in Las Vegas votes are counted...it didn't hurt Harry either that the SEIU maintains the Clarke County/Las Vegas voting machines.

So then with Harry bein' a permanent criminal fixture in the Senate...lemme ask again why he refuses to release his tax returns?

I heard from a cousin out there who would know, that Harry hasn't filed tax returns for five years!
 
Boca, despite your conspiracy theory about "stolen elections" in 2010....

if Mitt Romney PROVED that Harry lying....the GOP would easily take the Senate....

why isnt he?
 
Harry "my residence is The Ritz Carlton" Reid became a multi-millionairre being a Senator... what is he hiding??? Does he still drive a stolen car?
 
Okay, I'll play your juvenile little silly ass game....if Reid can prove Romney paid no taxes for 10 years he could assure Obama's election.

Why doesn't he?

Doesn't have to...in fact, the longer Mitt HIDES his returns, it's BETTER for the President.

Because it will solidify in people's minds that (A) Mitt DID pay zero taxes for several years and (B) he's trying to HIDE it because he's embarassed or knows how it will hurt his chances in November."

Both of which also prove Reid is telling the truth.

Only ONE way to prove that Reid is lying...and Mitt won't do it.....because....Reid probably is exactly right.
 
Come on Gordon. How will that "destroy Reid".... he will just say his unnamed source must have been wrong..Ooops! Sorry about all that.

It is disappointing to me that someone like Reid can make a statement that includes something as unprovable as "information from a reliable source" and pass it off as a truth. It really is the burden of the accuser to have proof. Just like when you go to Court the burden SHOULD be on the prosecution. To promote Reids version is just quite frankly, juvenile. It is how rumors start. It is the eXACT thing we try to teach children not to do. You don't accuse someone of something without all the evidence. I would never let my kids accuse my neighbor kids of something and then get away from providing proof of it with ah... well someone I really trust told me so. The fact that Reid's lack of integrity bothers no one on the left on this board.... is disheartening to say the least. The fact that we are moving to a time and culture where it is not only accepted but applauded that you can pass off unfounded accusations on another - is indeed moving very far away from a culture that I would like to be part of.

And, please - spare me the So and So Republican did it at some other point in time. because that means shit. Two wrongs don't make a right and all that.. of course, I try to teach my kids that too. Probably fighting a loosing battle with that one, too.

How interesting. I recall you accusing me of hypocrisy. I recall you saying I was being biased. I recall you challenging my choice of words. Yet...all I did was link to an article from Forbes.

Burden of proof in court...is a more stringent concern than the "proof" in politics. For instance...Romney is stating Obama is gutting welfare to work. Is he being truthful? Or are those accusations unfounded?

So yes...spare us all the righteousness.
 
Ah.. again.. can't discuss it without saying... well the other guy did it.

As far as the exchange you are talking about, I really don't recall. Were you baised? Did you present some sort of bias in our discussion? Most people are actually Biased. Reid is biased, so is Romney as well as Obama for that matter. I didn't realize being biased was such an insult. I apologize.

I presented an article from Forbes without comment. You attacked me...not the article. The article was titled...The Cult of Chick Fil A...and you went off on me over the word cult. And on my motivation...even as my top post explained my motivation. I asked if knowledge was bad...and you never responded. Now....you take a snide approach regarding bias...which was all yours in that exchange.

You should apologize. But the one above is insincere and not accepted. You had zero proof...but that didn't stop you from leveling attacks. Now...you decry that as a bad bad bad thing. I merely found the approach interesting.
 
Craig, I am really sorry if you thought my posts to you were an attack.

I thought we were having a discussion, or that you posted the article for discussion purposes. But, I did not intend to "attack" you over it merely to discuss it. I am sorry my post came off to you like an attack.

However, discussing your motives with YOU about your reasons behind posting a certain article are not in fact anywhere near the same thing as a person making a public accusation about another person based on "information from a very reliable source" for the purpose basically of extorting information out of them. If you can't see the difference, I can't help you.

Connie...a "discussion" precludes opening with calling someone a hypocrite. You didn't even attempt to have a discussion...Your wrote...Hypocrite Much???...while not commenting one word on the article. This is completely against the rules that you are supposed to enforce. How is that a discussion? How is not an attack?

And again...you go to an insult here as a close. I can very well tell the difference...and I'm sure you can as well.
 
Then perhaps it is simply best to avoid each other in the future. I will make a concerted effort to avoid replying to you, and you can do the same.

Or...you can respond to the article instead of the poster.

I posted an article that spoke of the demands of management of Chick Fil A. About how they required participation in certain events...and how discrimination suits have been filed. The article also spoke of the good works Cathy and Chick Fil A do with foster children and those low wage, but ambitious, employees who get a very low franchise fee to open their own store.

Not one of those aspects of the article was brought up for conversation. That's the goal of the board, is it not? To actually discuss the actions and policies we encounter in the world? If we all just ignore each other...how does that get us anywhere?

No....I will not make any effort to ignore you. I will respond to the board...as the board calls me to.
