Tax Return Hypocrisy

Democrats shouting the loudest about Mitt Romney’s reluctance to release his tax returns do not apply the same standards to themselves, according to a McClatchy News Service report.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California and Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the two Democratic leaders of the Senate and the House of Representatives, are among hundreds of elected officials from both parties who refused to release their tax records, McClatchy reported.

Pelosi said Romney was unfit to serve as President or even in the Cabinet because of his refusal so far to release all of his returns and Reid said Romney wasn’t even fit to be dogcatcher.

But just 17 out of the 535 members of Congress released their most recent tax forms or provided some similar documentation of their tax liabilities in response to requests from McClatchy over the last three months, the news service reported, indicating a double standard.

Another 19 members flat out refused and the rest didn’t even bother to respond to McClatchy’s request.

Pelosi aides flat out said no, saying she’s disclosed all that Congress requires.

Isn't it amasing how forth coming and transparent the left is?

Actually, ORR...I call it the Tax Return STUPIDITY....on Mitt's part.


See noted "leftist" NEWT GINGRICH made an issue of Mitt failing to disclose his full measure of tax returns back in January of this year...hinting that Romney was "hiding something".

Rather than take the use of that seriously....and expect it would be used by OTHERS ...AFTER he had bought the GOP Nomination and used his deep pockets to destroy Gingrich.....Romney apparently thought it had "gone away" never to return.

Either that....or Newt was RIGHT and Mitt is/was hiding something and still can't release his tax returns.

So either stupidity....or guilt.....has created this issue for Mitt....by Mitt.
 
What about the two-year debacle regarding Obama's birth certificate? Where's his college works, application etc? What about his passport? What about the goddamn Fast and Furious memos requested...wherein describes the workings of a program where a U.S law enforcement agent lost his life?

The left are nothing if not a herd of hypocrites.

RMoney should tout all those issues, see how it works for him, he can hire NCMusicman to do the ads.
 
Blue, apparently Newt Gingrich is a "lefty".


"Don't you sort of admire the arrogance and dishonesty of the Romney campaign?" Gingrich said. "They can't release their tax records. They're hiding. He can't even answer coherently (at) a debate. ... Until he files his tax returns, I'm not going to take anything he says seriously about being open."

There is nothing to my knowledge that states a candidate for President has to release their tax returns. This is just another ploy of the left to paint Romney as something he is not. Agian, the left will not relaese theirs and Obama will not release his college records, so why should Romney release personal data that is not required by law.

ORR....I agree totally with Saladin. I hope Romney KEEPS refusing to release his tax returns, in the HOPE that it'll "go away"....but in the REALITY that it will do exactly what it is doing....make people start thinking he's hiding something.

just as NEWT that Commie pinko said six months ago...and Mitt ignored. :)
 
Are you Repblicans serious???? Quote: "But just 17 out of the 535 members of Congress released their most recent tax forms or provided some similar documentation of their tax liabilities in response to requests from McClatchy over the last three months, the news service reported, indicating a double standard."

....ummmm, I hate to inform you Republicans BUT most of those NOT releasing their TAX info would be REPUBLICANS since the House is Dominated by Republicans...

Are you Republicans all taking pills that make you type stupid and senseless things, or just most of you???

You say this NOT reporting is a double standard... how so? Most of the Republicans are NOT releasing their Tax info. Romney is not releasing his tax info. I see this as Republicans are consistent in NOT being transparent.

WOW!!!!!!!

Your own post and links and media BURY yourselves.
 
Still most Americans expect a Presidential candidate to do so.....Makes Mutt Romney look bad......looks like a sleazy wealthy corporate executive trying to hide the fact he paid no taxes because of sleazy loop holes most Americans have no access to....I hope Romney continues to not release them...Each day it is dragging him down...Great to see
 
Yes those seeking the highest office in the US have historically released multiple years of tax returns...

It is again a double standard how the Republicans constantly site HISTORICAL practice when it is something they want, yet they totally ignore HISTORICAL practice when it is their slippery candidate who is ignoring Historical practice.

Mitt's FATHER...George Romney did.

Of course George probably didn't have anything he needed to hide.
 
There is no doubt the issue....Will not go away.....Even know the cronies in Romney's camp are trying to figure out to contain the damage....Justify the lack of transparency....Millions of voters are not going to be swayed by Fox News Bull shit or Right Wing Blogs.....Will Mutt Romney kowtow?...or will he hope it all goes away....President Obama must surely be smiling watching these Republican fools stumble and fumble over this issue

I understand that, but releasing tax records should not be based on whether a person is running for the White House. Either it is wrong or it isn't.

Blue, it's been historical policy for some time. Gingrich smelled something....and Romney failing to "clear the air"...showed that what Newt smelled...existed and is being hidden.

Again, you have to accept that either Romney was TOO STUPID to see that his returns would be an issue.....or there's something in them that is EMBARASSING to him.

Marv, you support a candidate whose state plan was the basis for "Obamacare" and who was pro-choice upto 2002. :)

I don't support Romney, I support anyone but Obama. So are you a "Peace Prize" Obamabot, or a "Kill List" Obamabot? Or do you espouse the "peace through superior firepower" philosophy of the hawks?
