Romney left the MA Governor's office and took every computer and documentation leaving no trace he was ever there first Gov in history to pull such a stunt. He said, "I didn't want them to use anything against me in my political career. Ann Romney said they are not releasing Tax Returns because it will give us more Amunition. Secrect Candidate. Media do you plan to cover the Secret Candidate? We are waiting for coverage on this and other issues vs the Media continuing to accept just running on hating the President. Facts and a Candidate's history does matter.

Sandielove, You are chip off the old block and a liar just like your LIAR in CHIEF is, Romney has paid all his taxes and this is just a ruse to keep AMERICANS off the real truth and the failed policies of Obama, Obama can NOT run on his awful record so he will attack and LIE about Romney to win, Americans have seen through this socialist and he will be voted out in a very FAST & FURIOUS WAY.

sandielove - you are correct, mittens is shady at best and if truth be know probably quite dirty in his own financial world. st claire - how do you know he paid all his taxes? We are not asking for all his taxes my dear, only asking for state and federal income taxes. It is important because most of the good folks we met in MA this summer don't think he legally lived and voted here when he ran for governor and that is what he is really trying to hide. Plus, he wrecked their state and they can't figure out how the health plan he heaved upon them is either too good for the rest of us or not good enough for the rest of us. The best thing he did for them was to be awol for the last two years of his term. He is not gonna carry MA and I doubt paulie girl will help him carry WI.

        It is amazing all you democrat morons could talk about is what Romney is going to do to the rich with tax breaks,and completely ignore what has happened in the last four years. obama has pissed away money and worsened our economy besides bailing out banks who did not deserve anything. With all the talk and lack of fact on this administration there is no doubt that this NON-PATRIOTIC PERSON(I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PRESIDENT NOT SALUTE THE AMERICAN FLAG WHEN OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM IS PLAYING EXCEPT FOR OBAMA) will get elected again! By the way I am not a republican,I do embrace the semi conservative values but I'm an independant,it's not the party-it's the person!!! Just wait and see what happens in the next 4 years,when the middle class will get it further up it's __s. When we pay for obama health care. I am not better off than I was 4 years ago. Believe me Romney is not the answer,but he is the lesser of two evils-NOBAMA 2012!

        jeemdj - so where was mitt's patriotism last week? Not in Tampa that's for sure! You really are just too silly for words, but you probably know that already. You can pump up the trickle down rich get richer thing all you want, but I'm sure not buying what you are selling. My working/middle class family and I are much, much better off than we were under jr and we already know what it smells like when the rich trickle down on us, thanks, but no thanks.

          GWB almost NEVER saluted the flag. You just weren't watching, or didn't care before Obama became President.

                The only speech I want to hear from the LIAR in CHIEF is his farewell speech he gives to Americans when he gets voted out of office, AMERICANS will down grade Obama the very same way he earned AMERICA her first down grade in her history when we vote him out of office in a very very FAST & FURIOUS WAY.

                        Sandie love, never heard that story about stripping the offices, maybe you have Romney mixed up with the CLINTON'S when they left office. That is true look it up.

                          chschilton- perhaps if you spent some time in MA you'd hear it, that is where I heard it, the good folks in MA believe it and are only too happy to talk with you about it along with their severe dislike for anything mitt.

                                YOU HAD TO ASK.....AS IF WE DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW?Subject: Where are the
                                GM sales coming from? ~Isn't he just too clever, and again, JUST HOW STUPID ARE THE
                                AMERICAN VOTERS????

                                Where are the GM sales coming from?

                                79% of GM’s sales last month was government purchased vehicles. Remember how Obama keeps telling
                                us how he saved GM, and how our economy is getting better, it seems the
                                car company he bought is being saved by Govt employees using our tax
                                money to buy new cars. 79% of
                                GM’s sales last month was government purchased.GM’s sales figures
                                for last month were the best since 2008 , up 16% for the month of June.
                                YIPPEE! Well, wait just a minute. It seems that those rosy sales
                                figures are due primarily to a 79% increase in fleet sales to the U.S.
                                government in June. That’s right. Our tax dollars are being used to
                                pump up GM’s sales figures ahead of next month’s quarterly report so
                                that Dear Leader can point to Government Motors as a huge success. The
                                incestuous relationship between GM, the UAW and the Regime has never been
                                more glaringly apparent. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. GM
                                is unsustainable without government subsidies and will ultimately go
                                bust again, taking billions of taxpayer dollars down with it. We bailed out
                                General Motors to the tune of $50 billion. $30 billion of this is
                                effectively a loss, mostly sunk into fattening the United Auto Workers
                                union—fierce Obama supporters—while the actual bondholders were shown
                                the elevator shaft. Meanwhile, as NewsBusters reports, “We the Taxpayers are still stuck
                                holding 500+ million shares of GM stock. Which we need to sell at $53
                                per. Which debuted post-bankruptcy at $33 per. And which is currently
                                trading at just over $20 per. Meaning we’ll lose about $15 billion.”

                                But it gets better.
                                Despite the overwhelming negatives, the tiny bright spot of positive
                                June sales numbers is being heralded by Obama and the leftist press as
                                proof the auto bailout was a “success.”

                                Obama is now
                                campaigning on the “success” of – the government buying cars from…the
                                government’s car company. With our money.

                                Americanvision says
                                That’s like you setting up a lemonade stand for your kids. You buy them
                                the lemons, sugar, cups and pitchers – and then buy most of the
                                lemonade yourself.

                                The pressure is on
                                Government Motors to appear financially strong as this may be the last
                                earnings report before November elections and sets the stage for how
                                “successful” GM is. One of GM’s past tricks to help fudge earnings
                                numbers has been to stuff truck inventory channels. Old habits die hard
                                at GM. According to a Bloomberg report, “GM said inventory of its
                                full-size pickups, which will be refreshed next year, climbed to
                                238,194 at the end of June, a 135 days’ supply, up from 116 days at the
                                end of May.” 135 days’ supply is huge, the accepted norm is a 60 day
                                supply. The trick here is that GM
                                records revenue when vehicles go into dealership.
