RUSE - ploy, stratagem, tactic, scheme, trick,
gambit, cunning plan, dodge, subterfuge, machination, wile.
Fast Forward to 2012
Willard, by your OWN Blind Trust definition, you need to stop your ' tactics of dodgeing, scheming, tricking the public with your ploys and RELEASE YOUR TAX RETURNS !
TPM:
- Mitt Romney disavowed any responsibility for investments in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, saying his personal finances are part of a blind trust thats out of his control.
I dont manage them, I dont even know where they are, Romney told Radio Iowa Monday of his investment portfolio. That trustee follows all U.S. laws, all taxes are paid as appropriate, all of them have been reported to the government. Theres nothing hidden there.
Whats important is if you are running for president is that the American people know who you are and what youve done and that youre an open book, Obama told a New Hampshire television station. And thats been true of every presidential candidate dating all the way back to Mitt Romneys father.
The late George Romney, former governor of Michigan, released a dozen years of tax returns ahead of his own presidential campaign, saying he wanted to dispel any doubts that he filed his taxes any differently in the year or two before his run.

It bothers me that he blindly sticks cash somewhere while wanting to lead the free world.

That it is a ruse shouldn't be a surprise, really.

Lying son of a bitch. He lies so much he makes you feel silly for calling him a liar so often. You feel like your living on a rat exercise wheel.
