1994 Willard Romney: " The BLIND TRUST Is An Age Old RUSE " [View all]



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” that’s out of his control.





“I don’t manage them, I don’t 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. There’s nothing hidden there.”






“What’s important is if you are running for president is that the American people know who you are and what you’ve done and that you’re an open book,” Obama told a New Hampshire television station. “And that’s been true of every presidential candidate dating all the way back to Mitt Romney’s 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.
