It looks like Romney did not pay realistic or any taxes for years. Did he take a tax exemption for Olympic work and out sourced the uniforms too?

Democrats seem to be so very concerned about what other people do with their own money (including Mitt Romney) but they are never concerned about what Obama is doing with our (including our grandchildren’s) money! As a conservative, I do not care what Romney or anyone else does with their own money, but I am deeply concerned what Obama is doing with OUR money!

We just paid Russia millions of dollars to take astronauts to the space station, and provided GE billions to build plants in forty three different countries.

Why is Obama outsourcing our tax money and jobs?

@ Mr. One Vote, and where did you track down this information. It is funny how the IRS seems to think he paid his necessary taxes. I have never heard of the IRS going after him, and you know that if he was crooked and in the public eye like he is the IRS would take aim and criminal action. Your argument and that of your democratic peers holds zero water.

Ditto to many of the above. You Democrats have absolutely zero credibility in questioning any individules financial status when your guy and party are the biggest spenders of other peoples money in history. The Democrats under Obama have run the national debt up by 5 trillion dollars in under 4 years. Where the breaking point is, no one knows, but with 4 more years of Obama we may well find out. The nation can't survive with the re-elected leadership of Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. If this were Republicans doing this, I'd be voting Democrat this election. I only hope that many Democrats this election will put their country over their party. And don't bother telling me about the Republicans holding the House. That only started 16 months ago, long after much of this budget busting was done.

MG Scott, I like how you make things up, it's funny. We all know that 4 trillion of the 5 trillion of additional debt came from previous congress and president's policies (wars, tax cuts etc). So if you want to talk about party lines and voting for the best interest of America, you now know who you should be voting for.

Gee,

reading many of the "I hate Onbama" comments is just like listening to AM radio.

Not a single original idea,
just more parroting of Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity.

I'm not so concerned with How Mitt Rmoney got his money,
Where Mitt Rmoney puts his money,
even if Mitt Rmoney paid his fair share of taxes....

What I'm concerned with is INTEGRITY.

Why would someone who believe in America
Who seeks to become the supreme leader of America
Who values eveything in America....

Hides his money in Foreign Banks, not American banks,
Sends eveything penny he has OUT of America, to avoid paying any taxes in America,
Invests everything he's got in Foregin Investments and
Out-sourcing to Foreign Countries...

Old proverb;
Put your MONEY where your Mouth is!

LDS Liberal, so you think TARP was an act of integrity? What about the GM bailout? Or the half billion dollar loan to Solyndra that will never be paid back? American taxpayers are struggling to pay their own bills, yet every paycheck, the the totally corrupted federal government takes, by force, a large chunk of that hard earned money and recklessly gives it away to the special interests keeping them in power. This isn't a lack of integrity, this is a dirty, rotten SCAM! If Mitt Romney is smart enough to LEGALLY avoid paying more taxes to the totally immoral institution that is our current federal government, then good on him! In fact, how could anyone, in good conscience, NOT do everything in their power to avoid paying taxes right now, when know well that hard-earned money will just be squandered.

Mr X,

Why was eighty percent of the stimulus outsourced, and wasn't the Iraq war to end within six months? How much was outsourced to the Libya war, and donated to the Muslim Brotherhood?

This doesn't sound like George Bush to me. Lets quit outsourcing to Pakistan, Egypt, and the many other countries whose on American welfare dole.

Could you find me one remark, or decision which is a positive toward our country,-- from Obama.

Re: Mr X

Welcome to planet Earth dude. But you'd better get up to speed on the truth before commenting. 9 trillion when Bush left the White House, 15 trillion now. But you did get on piece of Democrat propaganda correct. It's all Bushs fault. Well done on that one.

I read the New York Times article regarding Romney and Bain between 1999 and 2002 and it is obvious that Obama and his supporters are either A) trying to deceive the American people and create an issue where there isn’t an issue; or, B) they are oblivious to how business in America works. It’s disappointing that Obama thinks that the American people are so ignorant and poorly educated that they can’t see through this tempest in a teapot. The more I look at the situation, the more apparent it is that a vote for Obama is a vote for ignorance and corruption.

I get a kick out of reading all the Republicans comments on these boards. Not a lot of excitement behind the lemon their party will nominate but a lot of hatred towards Obama. The election won't be decided by all the righ wing nuts or the left wing lunatics. It will be decided by the independents. In the end people will vote for the devil they know vs. the one they don't. If Mitt does not start communicating why he would be an effective leader and restore the trust and credibilty he has lost already in the campaign this race will be over by Labor Day. Just look at the polls in the 5 or 6 states where this race will be decided. Obama continues to build upon his lead as more people form an opinion on Mitt. Our country's best hope is the two parties work together by raising taxes and cutting spending in a resonable manner. Right now that is not possible with all the spite and hatred that exists.

So less than 24 hrs after Romney complained about being attacked he then attacks Obama.

Jeez.

Talk about hypocrisy.

Romney, other than deregulation and lower tax rates for the rich, what are your plans? It seems like all you can do is bash Obama.

@LDS Liberal, you talk about parroting. Your comment sound like the democratic squak box. Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck. You are CNN. Integrity, you are really going to question Mitt Romneys integrity. Integrity is adhearance to moral and ethic principals, I think this describes Mitt to a tee. As for having money over seas, many people have money over seas, foreign investments, etc. Successful business people do this, they invest in other things and in trades in other places. In fact your own 401k, that is probably invested in something over seas, are you a bad person now too because of that. You act as if this is new and means something to you. It is not illegal, it is not a lack of integrity, it is actually good business sense. You talk about out sourcing jobs over seas. Well, people like Obama make it impossible to afford and keep jobs here. Obama/CNN is not the answer voice your own opinion and please be realistic next time and understand the issues completely.

@ All Demo/Libs - Obama's quote while accepting the bid at the Democratic National Convention in 2008, "If you don't have a record to run on then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from." He did it to Hillary in 2008

Obama is doing just that even still in 2012. So even the man all you Dems/Libs support admits himself he has no record to run on. And you want to elect him why? Nobody should have a comment on that question because your fearless leader already answered it for you. He has No Record, not even still today. He has nothing. The ignorance of some is just plain crazy.

All mitt has is to attack.

Doesn't want to talk about being governor (because he was a liberal Governor)
Doesn't want to talk about how he will save America (grover norquist will tell him later)
Repeal and replace (no replacement plan)
Doesn't want to talk about his off-shore accounts (but has nothing to hide)

Obama may not be a great president, but has done fairly well considering the hatred, and only half a congress to work with, yes he had control for a few minutes, but he probably believed the other side would want to work for the next four years, he was naive of the gang known as republicans who would rather watch it burn than lend a hand.

I would personally thank him for Obamacare.
Don't need it myself, but many do and to repeal it shows mitts contempt for working Americans.
