        We don't know what year was audited. Maybe his shenanigans were in an unaudited year. His tax returns will be better scrutinized by the public than it would ever be by the IRS. 250 million eyeballs, he can't hide shenanigans. He doesn't want to publicize 2008 and 2009 because those are still within the statute of limitations. make no mistake he has something(s) to hide. But if the IRS goes after him now it will look political.

          Tell anybody that has been audited that the IRS is not good at scrutinizing someone. If there is anytime that he would have been audited, I would figure it would have been post 2008 when the election process was over, and we had a full democratic Congress and White House. Do you really believe that someone with aspirations to run for president, a second time, would fudge his taxes knowing that it would cause those dreams of going up in smoke?

          Romney is a careful politician. He knows the reason the Democrats want these tax returns is not because of illegal activities, but to further the class warfare angle. He's not giving them that ammunition, just like Reagan didn't in 1980. He's not giving them that ammunition just like this president and his "most transparent" regime, with his college transcripts.

          The fact is that all of this is being done to take people off the issues on hand. Abortion? Give me a break. Everybody knows that women's rights are not going to be infringed upon, and if you don't, you need to take a harder look. After 40 years of Roe vs. Wade, it would be political suicide to try and reverse it. Tax returns? I already said my two cents on that. This should stay on important issues that affect us NOW. Economy, jobs, Medicare, Obamacare, etc. If Obama has a record proving he's the man, then come forward and sell it to us. If not, get out of the way Mr. President, and let someone else give it a stab.

            Dude the general public won't even understand his tax returns yet alone be able to "scrutinize" them.

              The general public includes millions of CPA's and tax accountants, plenty of whom would revel in finding impropriety. It's called strength in numbers. Go read around, they've already found issues and questions in the little one incomplete year that has been released.

                I doubt he was audited post-2008. We don't even know for a fact that he has been audited, but if so it could easily have been decades ago. He's been a taxpayer for over 30 years.

                All I know is if he is clean then he's an idiot for not releasing returns and allowing this to fester. I was kinda giving his campaign the benefit of the doubt in figuring that he's got something to hide. If prior returns as basically just like 2010 then why the hell not release them. Everyone knows he's rich and made a lot of money. A few extra tax returns isn't going to change that.

                His silence speaks volumes. Think about it.

                I realize he had every incentive to taxes correctly, but it's not like he'd be the first politician to inexplicable have indiscretions take them down. One man's blow job is another man's tax return.

                        Sorry, Mr KLC. Give it a stab with what? What does Mitt have? The only thing I heard out of his flip floppin' mouth is,
                        I'll do it different than Obama. OOOOOO, can't wait.

                          When you have an incumbent running for reelection, its up to them to prove why they deserve a second shot. Obama's asking the country to believe in the direction he has lead us in over the last 4 years. If he can't make that point, Romney benefits.

                            The ant-Obama film that opened yesterday has already done 8.6 million in two days at the box office.
                            That can't be good for O-bay-me.

                              It'll be interesting to see if it can do the $50 million at the box office like Al Gore's film did.

                                Should do at least 40 million, 50 might be a stretch.

                                  No, sorta like his birth certificate, which has been released. Nobody gives a shit about college grades. Romney hasn't released his college transcripts either.

                                    The prevailing theory is that he was one of about 4000 people with money in undisclosed overseas bank accounts, who were given amnesty from criminal prosecution in 2009.

                                        If nobody gives a shit about his college grades, then why did Obama go through all of the trouble of SEALING them.

                                        WHY DID OBAMA SEAL THEM? This is a question that no liberal will ever answer as the ONLY REASON anyone has for ever SEALING documents is when they don't want anyone else to see them.

                                            "Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low
                                            as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays
                                            the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes.
                                            Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister
                                            in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone
                                            does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any
                                            public duty to pay more than the law demands."


                                            Romney's taxes are validated and true by the OBAMA staffed IRS. As a high income tax payer you best believe his taxes have been given a personal look over to decide whether or not to audit them. The only issue is whether or not he has lawfully complied with the tax code and the fact that he hasn't been hauled into court by the IRS proves that he has.

                                            It used to be understood that this is OUR MONEY and the gov't needs to justify taking it. Now we are called upon to justifty not handing it over the gov't. Deplorable.

                                                WHY DID OBAMA SEAL THEM?
                                                College grades, transcripts, etc, are all automatically protected (or "sealed") by law - he did not have to do anything. You and I have the same protections.

                                                Any of the other "protections" through Executive Order are common, and apply only to his presidential record, not school or other personal records. The EO that is commonly cited as him "sealing" his past, undoes an order by GWB that allows president's (or their family) to claim Executive Privilege for virtually any reason, long after they have served as president.

                                                But nice try.

                                                  Holy Mother of God, the traders over at Intrade are dumping Obama shares like crazy.

                                                    Sam everyone knows that Romney was just joking and it isn't an issue with me at all this year. The ones that are upset are just going way off the deep end. I think there is far more important issues this election to worry about. I call this no biggie.
