In reply to the discussion: Beware of this Rovian maneuver... it is coming. [View all]aint_no_life_nowhere
(21,925 posts)69. But won't that require Romney to release his real tax return?
Otherwise, what argument would they have that it's not reflective of the real return? It might be the wrong form but you couldn't disprove the substance without the real return. It would put even more pressure on Romney. In the Bush case there was no holy grail such as a form. There was simply a dispute over fonts and typewriters over whether his commanding officer wrote certain derogatory memos. In the Romney case there isn't a dispute over whether or not there is a tax return. There is a return and only seeing the real unredacted return could disprove a false one.

If Rove had his shit together, the GOP would not have this ongoing clusterfuck with Romney.

Not necessarily Rove himself... but someone who has the same lack of character.
