What is Mitt hiding? Really?

The latest question of this heir presumptive is why Mitt has so much of your wealth offshore and why offshore? Mother Jones has some interesting insights.
Doesn't this show a lack of confidence in American banks or perhaps something even more nefarious. His father advocated that a candidate should release perhaps a dozen years of financial info publically. To me this is pertinent to any
decision a voter makes in the upcoming election. There should be no secrets in a candidates life, that's how we can be assured of a public official's honesty and integrity. What say you? Isn't a full disclosure the least we should expect from a presidential candidate?

Mitt Romney is as phoney as they come. That guy doesn't give a shit about any of us or this country. Mitt is all about Mitt and nothing else. He's a salesman with a yard full of worthless junk to sell, a vampire in search of an open window.

How many of this guys collegues have to say it before it finally sticks? Oh, that's right, they think he's wonderful, now. Just don't look at their comments from the past, recent or otherwise.

I can remember thinking "W" was such a Goober and no one in their "Right" mind would vote for him. They did twice......

So Mr Mitt could be a shoe in.

Halfway up the large intestine, I imagine, should he be elected.

Asked about his taxes on CNN, Romney said that more information would be released.

“We’ll put out the next year of tax returns as soon as the accountants have that ready. And that’s what we’re going to put out. I know there will always be calls for more,” Romney said in an interview on CNN. “People always want to get more. And, you know, we’re putting out what is required plus more that is not required. And those are the two years that people are going to have. And that’s — that’s all that’s necessary for people to understand something about my finances.”

Hmmm, only two years? Why does it take weeks and a battery of accountants to see a copy of an already filed income tax form?

I smell something, I can't tell whether it's smoke or his shredder has caught fire.

Geez, I just watched the Mother Jones writer on CurrentTV. Two points: (1) Adam Serwer ought stick to writing and stay off TV and (2) I think my ten minute viewing significantly increased CurrentTVs viewership.

And I'm sure they appreciate your giving them a look-see as well as your insightful analysis of their programming.

Mitt Romney is what the rest of the Republican Party claims it's not; Secretive, Plutocratic, Oligarchical and Elitist. He is the very emblem of the modern day GOP, sans the thin, (And ever thinning.), veil they struggle to maintain and it embarrasses them. He, and they, don't give a rats ass about anyone or anything but transferring more of this countries wealth up the scale and into their own pockets and those of their masters.

It becomes more and more obvious every day.

Be careful Bhunter that is a gateway drug....next thing you know you will be subscribing to the Nation and listening to NPR on the radio
