6. Romney is in a pickle
Sat Jul 28, 2012, 11:39 AM
Jul 2012

From the evidence it looks like Romney accepted the general IRS amnesty in 2009 and in exchange for admitting he tried to defraud the IRS, was forgiven. However, that requirement that he admit fraud was put there for a reason, so that tax-cheats like Romney wouldn't be able to go Scott-free and they'd have that admission of fraud with them. We are seeing that admission of fraud doing exactly what it was intended to do -- hold Romney accountable for fraud, if he indeed did commit fraud.

So that leaves Romney with the problem of wanting to be president, yet having the admission of Fraud on his IRS record. He's trying to depend on the liars of Fox News and the Republican Tea Party nuts to make enough noise so the Democrats will just forget the whole thing.

I for one cannot and will not forget. Romney has too sleazy a background to forgive him something like Tax Fraud. His activities with Bain where he put thousands of workers out of their jobs and in some cases confiscated their pensions to put into his own bank account are a show-stopper for me.

I am amazed at his arrogance, knowing this stuff is in his background, yet still trying to push his way into the White House. The clown thinks Americans will forgive his sleazy, lying, money-grubbing activities. I won't, and I'm willing to bet I have lots of company.
