Mitt Romney was born in the Chinese year of the Pig. Pigs are genuinely generous to their own family members, but for others..there is a strong desire to question the motives of….well…..everybody else. Pigs are controlling, they manipulate things to suit their own purposes. Pigs are also rather secretive. It’s that old story of mom telling you not to mention how stinky Aunt Fanny is……when she hugs you …..when you were 5. Pigs get upset about any supposed slights on their character. Pigs want people to do things “their way – no matter what”.
As we watch the Sunday Morning talk shows, in between various Olympic events, we are glad that the Olympics are on during this news cycle. Mitt Romney was on doing an interview with Candy Crowley on “State of the Union”. Candy seemed amazingly accommodating to the Republican Presidential Candidate. When Obama spokesman Robert Gibb came on…..Crowley hammered him about Senator Reid challenging Mitt Romney on the fact that he hadn’t paid taxes for ten years and that was the reason he didn’t want to release his records. Candy spoke over Gibb when she asked something like: “Well, he didn’t do anything illegal……..” and Gibb responded that no one was going to know until the records are released. Candy hammered Gibb about the economy and the whole program looked like a campaign seminar for Romney.
As lifelong, on and off, Republicans until Obama-Biden ran against John McCain and Sarah Palin….we can surely say: Mitt, every candidate for President that has won – has released ten years of their tax records. Your tax records are particularly interesting. We don’t know anyone that submits a 500 page one year tax return to the IRS. As the saying goes: If you can’t blind them with brilliance…..baffle them with bullshit!” The other saying that comes to mind is one from Ronald Reagan that says: “If you can’t make them see the light……..at least you can make them feel the heat!”
The average citizen in the United States does not have a Swiss Bank Account, a holding company in Bermuda or Special Accounts in the Cayman Islands. Bernie Madoff also had those accounts. Ken Lay and Jeff Skillings had those accounts, Bernie Ebbers had those accounts, a long list of white collar criminals, International drug cartels and Russian White Traders Slavers all have these types of accounts. Why can’t Mitt understand that when you surround yourself with a bunch of bad guys……questions are going to come up.
At this point it is very obvious that Mitt Romney and absolutely everyone else that has these accounts will never be considered “financially clean” until all of investigative reporters have been put on these odd ball bank accounts. Is Mitt suggesting that everyone should have these International Banking Accounts that allow folks “to legally” avoid any or all of their taxes? Come on Mitt, help us out here – tell us how to do this. We would love to find all those legal beagel ways of avoiding taxes without the help of a score of Tax Attorneys and International CPA’s.
Mitt…get out the barbeque sauce……you can now be known as “Mitt on a Spit……suey……turn that hog!” We just love the smell of sizzling bacon in the morning!
Finally, to be fair Candy Crowley asked Mitt what he would do with the economy. Mitt answered 12 Million jobs in 4 years. 12 million jobs Mitt?……are those all the jobs without Pensions, without Retirement, without paid Healthcare, without making a living wage? “Here comes that great sucking sound …again!”
I could go for a good BLT with extra bacon.
BLT? Where is your great newfound loyalty to chick fellatio? You people are so fickle!
Very crass Vern – very crass of you. What do you expect to accomplish with such “fowl” language?
*What did Tom Cruise say: “Show me the money!” or was that Leigh Steinberg?
Chairman Vern: by the way…….pray for those two chickens trying to pass themselves
off as Foster Farms chickens. We love those guys!
*Pretty interesting that this story is not going away. This morning they opened the
C-Span Journal with the Reid comments about the missing tax records of the proverbial “Too Mitt to Quit”. It was the typical partisan responses: Republicans: “He doesn’t have too!”, “Make Harry show his!”, “Harry is just front man for the Obama Administration – and it doesn’t matter at all.” Then the Democrats and Independents:
“I ran for city council in Lancaster, CA – they required that I disclose my tax records for the last five years!”. “Everyone knows that the 1% never pay taxes!” ..and so it goes.
The reality is: Mitt is stuck for an answer. “Say who…Harry?” says Mitt. “I challenge you…. to say a name Harry!”
The truth seems to be that some old disgruntled Bain Capital employees ratted
Mitt out…..should be like going to clown camp when the full truth comes out.
Pretty pathetic….attempt to deflect back to the President……Sort of “Whinecki Commanche”…as John Wayne said in the Searchers. Whinecki meaning: says they are going one place and wound up going another. “Seven Fingers of the Brazos – Marty!” says old Mose. “Just want a rockin chair Marty!”
Mitt is going to find those Tax Records after John Waynes finds “Scar and his niece Debby!”
The funniest concept would be that John McCain releases what Mitt gave him in 2008! Wouldn’t that be wonderful….if you happen to be talking about leaks.?
*Wonder whether the Von Ryan Express will release any of their tax records for the last 10 years?
Probably not!
Well here’s the interesting thing; Romney has released 2010 and an estimate for 2011. When asked how many years Romney required during the vetting of Ryan, Romney’s staff said “several,” which suggest more than 2. Is Romney holding his VP candidate to a standard he’s not even willing to apply to himself?
“Is Romney holding [others] to a standard he’s not even willing to apply to himself?”
Well, it has gotten him this far — and it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks….
