Sep 2012

Or the people he was talking to in that tape?

We don't know. Now isn't that convenient?!

And how much of his money is invested in the USA? Why, not very much is it?

Romney is a sociopath. Sociopaths are not able to feel empathy tavalon Sep 2012 #15

How much does Mitt pay in income taxes? lunatica Sep 2012 #4

Here's another thought . . . what if Rmoney pays no federal income tax? What is he, then? hatrack Sep 2012 #6

Answer: Repugs may conclude they need to steal the election to "rescue" America. reformist2 Sep 2012 #7

I agree, but fortunately they can't steal unless the polls are very close librechik Sep 2012 #42

The Freepers' response is hilarious alcibiades_mystery Sep 2012 #8

But they will continue to use the 47% figure. They are complicit in the lie, and they know it. reformist2 Sep 2012 #9

It's all framing the debate by language, and part of that means to fuzz meanings. nt Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2012 #44

I wonder how smart he is to hide his taxes. n/t porphyrian Sep 2012 #10

Now there is a lose/lose tavalon Sep 2012 #13

We have a few more hurdles, such as a ton of money that will be dumped for his campaign soon... porphyrian Sep 2012 #17

It is not about not paying taxes Angry Dragon Sep 2012 #69

OMG can you imagine ... VWolf Sep 2012 #46

That may be why he won't release them. Senator Reid seems to think so. n/t porphyrian Sep 2012 #47

The point about Romney is the 0.01 % who have already bought and sold *his* vote. nt Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2012 #18

Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are part of the 47% too. MindPilot Sep 2012 #19

I love that one louis c Sep 2012 #22

I suspect a lot of folk unfamiliar with the military are unaware of that. MindPilot Sep 2012 #23

I wonder when that came into being because it sure wasn't there when I was receiving Bandit Sep 2012 #25

It was in effect when I was in Vietnam MindPilot Sep 2012 #55

My experience was different Bandit Sep 2012 #82

Been trying to find out when that took effect...not having much luck. MindPilot Sep 2012 #83

Mitt finally told the truth: He's "not worried about them" KurtNYC Sep 2012 #31

Wounded warriors also are part of the 47% pinboy3niner Sep 2012 #51
