2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Speculation has it that Harry Reid's Source comes from within the Mormon Church... [View all]shanen
(349 posts)30. How far should you trust Mormons?
Long version is in another post, but in short, I suspect that:
(1) Reid might be acting on orders of the Mormon elders and this is somehow a plan to defuse Rmoney's tax-returns problems.
(2) It might be a plan something like what they did to Dan Rather where they use partial twisted truths to destroy an enemy.
The truth is clearly that Romney has LOTS of things to hide in his tax returns. If the balance of the information in the tax returns was in his favor then he would obviously release them. We already know that Romney has SOMETHING to hide. If the truth was in his favor, then the longer it's out there, the better, so we know the truth is AGAINST Romney. Again.
I hate lies and liars, and Romney is even worse than Nixon in terms of lying.
Q: How do you tell when Romney is lying?
A: His lips are moving.
Only truth Romney could tell, but he never would speak this truth. Romney believes "Vote for me so that government of the corporations, by the lawyers, for the richest 0.1% of Americans, shall rule the earth."
Oh yeah, on the Mormon topic. Let's imagine you believe in god and you believe he decided to pick a new spokesman. Don't you think he could have found someone better than the convicted con man Joseph Smith? I think the LDS was created by a liar, and Rmoney is the perfect representative.

What I don't get is that, if he is hiding money, it's not going to show up on the tax forms.
