Romney Stands His Ground, to Release Only Two Years of Returns

ap_mitt_romney_jt_120715_wblog.jpg

BATON ROUGE, La. – Mitt Romney said this morning that he would release only two years of tax returns despite increasing pressure from both Democrats and Republicans to release more, saying he was already doing more than what the law requires and is following the precedent set most recently by Sen. John McCain.

“John McCain ran for president and released two years of tax returns,” Romney said during an interview today on “Fox and Friends.” ”John Kerry ran for president, and you know his wife, who has hundreds of millions of dollars, she never released her tax returns [and] somehow this wasn’t an issue.”

“The Obama people keep on wanting more and more and more, more things to pick through,” said Romney, suggesting he didn’t want to provide more material for the president’s research team to filter through and use in what Romney called ”dishonest” attacks.

Romney has said since April that he would release only two years of tax returns – his 2010 return, which is already public, and his 2011 return, as soon as it’s ready. He filed for an extension on his 2011 filing, and his campaign said at the time that he would release it before mid-October, although that timeline could be changing, although a campaign source tells ABC News the release could now come before Labor Day.

The suggestion that Mitt Romney will release the 2011 returns earlier than expected – “in the next month or so,” the source said – comes as the candidate faces a barrage of criticism from even many in his own party for not disclosing more information about his substantial wealth. Romney’s father George released 12 years of returns as a presidential candidate in 1968. But Mitt Romney has suggested that he’d rather take the hit for not being transparent than reveal more information about his complex financial arrangements in overseas investments and a Swiss bank account.

“We put out one already,” said Romney, referring the 2010 return. “As soon as the most recent one is complete, we’ll put that out.”

Pressed on why he wouldn’t release more years, especially after calls by Republican leaders, including Republican Gov. Robert Bentley of Alabama, who over the weekend joined the chorus calling for Romney to release more tax returns, Romney pointed to the legal requirements.

“It’s hundreds of pages of documents, and by the way, none of those tax returns are required by law to be put out,” said Romney. The law requires him to make public only financial disclosure forms, which Romney has done.

Romney went on to suggest that President Obama should be more transparent himself in light of the “Fast and Furious” scandal.

Romney also used the interview to preview his new line of attack against the president in which Romney accused Obama of “political payoffs.”

“There’s no question that when billions upon billions of dollars are given by the Obama administration to the businesses of campaign contributors, that’s a real problem,” said Romney. “I think it stinks to high heaven.”

Birth certificate. Some here are OK with Willards apparent lack of transparency and refusal to release additional records to clarify the situation . . . just like Obama.

He did release it, and twice. The short form that he presented when he went for the 2008 elections and the long form that was released in April 2011. And there was a reporter from the birfer supermarket tabloid WND.com was present and was quite convinced to the point that he had no doubt of its validity.

Which one do you want to see??

Tell you more here is an intervuiew to the wnd.com WH corresponadant and he saw the COLB

I'll tell you the document I want to see, the one where unemployment is 7%. You know all the hope and change BS you were fed a few years ago, how is that working out for ya anyway. He went to the well to many times

blaming Bush, that doesn't work anymore. Now trying to get the poor and uneducated to believe Romney is bad because he's rich. Common sense would tell you that you would rather have a man in charge with a proven

track record of running a company than a man who has no experience in anything.

What JonJon said! :twothumbs:

Besides, Romney would NEVER waste tons of money

having people 'fabricate' 'long forms' of anything (unlike someone else we know). <_<

Watch Sheriff Joe Arpaio's long-awaited press conference! See and hear latest revelations in Obama eligibility probe...

Click here to watch the event live starting at 5:30pm EST.

http://www.wnd.com/2012/07/sheriff-joe-arpaio-press-conference/

...or on demand later.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse investigating Barack Obama’s presidential eligibility have been promising more major revelations since their March 1 press conference, and now another event has been scheduled to unveil new information.

The evidence will include information gathered in the posse’s recent investigative trip to Hawaii as well as an update on the ongoing investigation.

At the March 1 conference, as WND reported March 1, Arpaio and his Cold Case Posse announced there is probable cause that the document released by the White House in April 2011 purporting to be Obama’s original, long-form birth certificate is a forgery. The posse said it also found probable cause that Obama’s Selective Service registration form is fraudulent.

So if Romney doesn't have to release any more records, I suppose those who support him are content with Obama not releasing anymore of his records?

Double standard perhaps?

Romney has met the criteria to prove that he is a legal candidate for the presidency.

Has Barry? I don't think so....oh I forgot about the doctored up birth certificate!

You know exactly why Obama want's him to release more documents. It's so they can distract from all Obama's failures and lies. he wants to spend every day findin things in those documents he can spin and lie about so he doesn't have to face the music . Gag!

Oyy, simply because a charge is brought about by the opposing side doesn't mean that the charge doesn't have merit.

Romney hasn't said anything about the birth issue, so I guess he doesn't consider it an issue. If he brings it to the lights, maybe then Obama will feel pressured to do something about it. As of now, that is not the case, and all eyes are on Willard.

Jon Jon Last week you posted that one of Romney's problems was he spoke half truths

This week you have him not being not pushed around by half truths and he is a man of principles.

By this time next week you will have him walking on water and saying he is the second coming.

Your life seems to be full of half truths .Believe it or not there is no such thing as half truth it is either the truth or it is a lie.( that is a fact )

You are stumping for a person that is going to lie to you 50% of the time when some one lies to me 50% of the time

I tend not to believe any thing they tell me. But maybe you like being lied to.

Now as far as principles are concerned from what i can see the only principles Romney has is to win at all cost.

To say and do whatever it takes to win Well would you look at that sounds just like Obama don't it

You really ought to try the whole truth ( That would be a refreshing change for our country )

Romney Is nothing but the same old garbage.

Go Ron Paul

No Surrender No Retreat and No Compromise
