What does Harry Reid know about Mitt Romney

[Dave]

I have been reading this latest skirmish over Mitt Romney's taxes.

Let me ask this question: HOW could Harry Reid, Majority LEader of the Senate know about Mitt Romney's taxes and why is he not immediately dismissed?

Think about this and don't post UFO shit, post real positive ideas about how Reid could possibly know.

I wondered the same thing and don't understand how he could rightfully obtain such information. I am certain that you have an answer as to why he is not being dismissed.

However, the issue should not be the amount of his taxes. It should be whether his reported income and deductions are accurate and legal within the tax law. You know he is a Mormon by faith and that Mormons are highly encouraged (more like directed) to donate 10% of their income to the church in addition to their other charitable deductions.

I don't have an answer. I have a speculation that's why I didn't propose the speculation to start with.
You are partway there. There are things in common between the two.
Two more things that I've heard:
a) Harry Reid doesn't care if they call him names. His aids have told reporters that when asked. And if you've watched him on the floor of the Senate, nothing seems to excite him or get him angry.
b) Is it possible that Repblicans know he is at least partly right? Or that they know the truth is so close to "paying no taxes" that it scares them that he will produce the evidence?

Don't RATIONALIZE this away...

What is the ONLY connection between Harry Reid and Mitt Romney?

...and quit playing STUPID...

...we ALL know better...

Let me put this another way.

What church is going to be hurt the most if Mitt Romney is elected paying his 15% income taxes and his 10% tithing to the church while the POOR church members are paying 38%+ income taxes PLUS their 10% tithing?

Are you purposely being obtuse, or can you NOT help it?

Furthermore, mac, I am SICK AND TIRED of hearing the IMMORALITY of Mitt Romney and the OTHER 1%ers...

MINIMIZED

...away with that STUPID crap about Tax law and legalities. Especially when they RAM-RODDED the CHEATING dividends and Capital Gains rates into law with LIES about JOBS that NEVER MATERIALIZED... and then they took their $PROFITS$ from the windfall out of the country and invested it in Swiss banks, and domiciles in the Caribbean, Asia and the far East.

The damned Conservatives, Republicans and Tea Party ASSHOLES bitch and bitch and bitch about how UNFAIR income taxes are and when it is pointed out to them how EVERYBODY is being SCREWED by the 1%ers they start this shit defending them with this "TAX LAW" HORSESHIT and fuck-off the immorality of the situation.

EVERY STINKING POSITION that they take they SCREW the shit out of the little guy and the MORONIC rank and file Conservatives, Republicans and Tea Party ASSHOLES defend their LAZY rich asses like they were getting a kick back instead of an ass-kicking, even though the vast majority of them are little guys themselves.

MITT ROMNEY is one of "THEM". He is NOT one of "US". Got it? HE has NEVER BEEN one of "US" and he will NEVER BE one of "US". Furthermore, YOU will never be one of "THEM" and neither will the rest of the 99%.

It is time to face reality. The ONLY HOPE this country has left is Barak Obama and personally, I DO NOT hold a lot of stock in him right now... because HE has turned out to be a WUSS...

That being said I have astronomical numbers of faith in him when I compare him to the WORTHLESS TEA PARTY CONGRESS. If I were leader of the revolution I WOULD BEHEAD THE LOT OF 'EM!

It probably would NOT be fatal to them, though, because their brains have been up their asses for so long...

Have not heard anything that Mitt did was illegal.
If Harry does not approve of Mitt's not right but legal activities -
What has Harry done to change the laws? Yup!
It is Merkle vs Merkle-lite. We have no Hollande. Some choice.

Maybe, Mitt as experienced as he is would be a "traitor to his class"
with changes to the system. He is a committed commander.
Whether to Bain or the nation.

Put up or shut up, Harry Reid.
And if you don't like it, and it's legal, what have Democrats done to change it?

Moi
I also got fed up with complaints of the American Gymnast "Black" hair.
She's a kid who won 3 gold medals and gets more press time over her unsatisfactory hair.

[Riverwind]

The only common ground they share is that they are both Mormons. Now Mitt the Twit as been Mormon all his life and is well connected in the church, Reid is a convert.

So what does Reid know?

Mac, even if everything is done correctly which I am going to guess that it is, we still might find things that would upset the average person like deductions and what they are for. What I am curious about is were there years where he reported a loss after all his deductions and had the government pay him money. I think that would piss lots of people off, I know it would me.

However the bottom line is this, if he has nothing to hide show the taxes and put this to bed, because he is not doing this I must draw the conclusion that he did things that would upset most voters.


Mac, when its our truth its good when its their truth its just a lie.

Propaganda: What would you rather have, A nice thick juicy steak or the rump mussel off a castrated bovine?

Neither democrats or republicans want to change it. Most of them are part of the top 1% or 2% and they write the tax laws. They just want to complain that somebody else was entitled to more breaks than them.

OH SHIT, moi!

These asses would not be happy if the kid shaved her head. They would call it cheating... more easy to slip through the water faster, you see...

I side with you when YOU ARE RIGHT, but you are as wrong about this Harry Reid thing as you can get.

When the CONSERVATIVE ASSHOLES put the gaggle of MAD DOG hydrophobic Tea Party BASTARDS into the Congress it may be likened into plugging the ass of a rhinoceros with a truck load of concrete and then BITCHING about the rhinoceros not being able to SHIT...

DO you like to see me go off like this? Are YOU doing this on PURPOSE? I WILL NOT insult you but your stinking ideas are directly from the Tea Party congress who have had their heads up their asses for so long that every time they open their NASTY MOUTHS shit comes pouring out.

It is like a transverse colon bowel obstruction. They are PUKING PURE SHIT out of their mouths...

You know damned good and well that the Tea Party Congress has BLOCKED EVERY piece of progressive forward-looking legislation for the last almost two years. There is no way Harry Reid could do anything about the tax rates. Hell, they could not even call the penalty for not getting health insurance a tax for fear of what the LYING, TWISTED FOX NEWS would do to it when they "REPORTED" it to their shit-for-brains viewership.

SO get off of it, moi. Wise up! Quit EXPECTING people to be STUPID and quit expecting people to agree with your STUPID statements.

LET me say that I don't care how much Mitt gives to his church. That stuff is personal and should remain so.
But I need to ask if any of you participated in a church fundraising campaign. If you have hten you know how to pressure someone into giving MORE than they admit. It's an arm-twisting ugly affair.

This doesn't happen so much in Catholic Churches because they manage their monies through the Diocese and let's not dig into that can of worms. Go start another thread for those sins and bad practices. I"ve seen that in my parish. It ain't pretty.
However, lots of other churches demand tithing and have to pay building and construction, maintenance, overhead, etc... costs for their church. And they aren't big but those committees dig deep into the members finances. The copper pipe for One water line for my church cost $45,000, without labor or excavation.

Now think, Harry Reid is the most powerful politician in any government who is also Mormon. The Mormon Chrch is rich and we are not going to discuss that. It's another topic.
Harry Reid must, and I say this pointing out that it is an educated gess, know the highest ranks of the Mormon Church.
So does Mitt Romney.
Someone, most likely a committee, knows who gives what to the Mormon Church and if it truly is a tithe.

And in all fundraising, you never send a lesser to solicit a greater person.
You can't send an unknown factory worker to solicit a millionaire.
My Mother word for a huge international charity many years ago. The biggest and richest contributors were approached to solicit contributions from those richer, or to increase their donations from year to year.
If you didn't have a man with money, you used a politician or a celebrity (I'll name one we all know - Netanyahu after his brother was declared hero used to travel the USA fundraising for Israel).

Now do you see what SCARES the crapola out of Republicans when Harry Reid says "I have a source" ...
He may indeed have a source and he may indeed know the truth.

According to Harry Reid, A person who knew Romney from Bain Capitol said that Romney had bragged that he hadn't paid any taxes in ten years.

Harry Reid not backing down from Romney tax claim


By Catalina Camia, USA TODAY
Updated 9h 28m ago

CAPTION
By J. Scott Applewhite, AP
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reportedly is not backing down from his assertion that Mitt Romney hasn't paid taxes in 10 years.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Reid said the controversy could end if Romney revealed more of his tax information.

Asked again whether he'd reveal the source of his information, the Nevada Democrat said "I've answered your question," according to the Las Vegas newspaper.

Romney has repeatedly said Reid's claim, based on a "credible source" who is an investor in Bain Capital, is untrue and that he has paid his taxes. The flap escalated this weekend with a round of name calling on the Sunday morning talk shows.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus called Reid a "dirty liar" on Sunday, and Reid aide David Krone told Politico that such Romney supporters are "henchmen" and "cowards" for their attacks on the Senate majority leader.

The Wall Street Journal's editorial page, which sometimes has been critical of Romney, slams Reid in a column today urging the majority leader to "stay classy." Although the editorial says Romney could resolve the issue by releasing more tax documents, it chastises Reid's tactics.

"But without any proof, Mr. Reid's accusations are a smear from the fever swamps that say more about Mr. Reid's ethics than they do about Mr. Romney's taxes," the WSJ editorial says.

President Obama and his Democratic allies have frequently criticized Romney's wealth and his refusal to release more tax information. Romney has posted on his website his 2010 tax return and an estimate of what he paid in 2011, and says he'll release the return for the last tax year when it is ready.

With a net worth of $190 million to $250 million, Romney is one of the wealthiest men running for president in a couple of decades. Sometimes, his own comments -- such as those about his wife owning two Cadillacs or his friendship with NFL and NASCAR team owners -- have left Romney open to criticism that he's out of touch with the average American.

Still, it's unclear whether Reid's charges will hurt the Democrat back home. He survived a stiff re-election challenge and defeated Republican Sharron Angle, a Tea Party favorite, by 6 percentage points in 2010. Reid, an amateur boxer in his youth, isn't up for re-election again until 2016.



It's my opinion that Harry Reid has no dog in the fight, so any criticism he takes for saying these things won't really hurt him, even if he is wrong. The upside of course his huge because it's keeping Romney on the defensive. Everyone knows that the only reason to not show it, is if it's something you don't want people to see. Reminding people of that can't hurt the President.

Rinse Prepuce?

GAWD! How his parents must have hated him to have given him that name...


(...although I cannot think of a better, more descriptive name for a little prick...)



...and Sharron (d)Angle?

...are these sexy people?

thanks, Elizabeth...

Explain why Harry Reid is bad, then. IF he were IN FAVOR of the 1% then why would he have made an issue of it? Not all are bad, just as not all Republicans are bad. Richard Lugar was not bad. They targeted him and Reid. They just did not get Reid...

You see, you drag All the DEMOCRATS into it and make them co-conspirators is a script straight form the BASTARDS who are running this circus. You, my friend, are quickly turning into one of their PET MONKEYS...

You should really get over it. The Affordable Healthcare Act is now a LAW and it is here to stay.
