August 17, 201214 yr Loved this response from Romney to Obama: "Thanks for the note" -- but no thanks. That was the response Friday from the Romney team after Obama's campaign manager tried once again to wrench more tax documents from the Republican president candidate, this time by offering to refrain from criticizing Mitt Romney's transparency if he agrees to release five more years of returns. Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades wrote a brief email to Obama campaign manager Jim Messina dismissing the offer. "Thanks for the note. It is clear that President Obama wants nothing more than to talk about Governor Romney's tax returns instead of the issues that matter to voters, like putting Americans back to work, fixing the economy and reining in spending," he wrote. "If Governor Romney's tax returns are the core message of your campaign, there will be ample time for President Obama to discuss them over the next 81 days." I really have to question where candidates find the people that make campaign decisions. That response should have been the obvious answer to the "I wonder how they will respond to this" question. Rookie.

Are you calling the letter from the President's camp a "rookie" move or the response?
August 17, 201214 yr Author If you believe Gov Romney then yes. I don't need a statement from Romney. Reid said something that was not true. By most definitions that makes him a liar. Of course Harry won't be held accountable.

Technically, we do not 100% know it's not true BUT it most likely is. How would you advocate holding Sen Reid accountable?
August 17, 201214 yr Are you calling the letter from the President's camp a "rookie" move or the response? The offer made to the Romney camp. Gave them a gift-wrapped PR win.
August 17, 201214 yr Author Technically, we do not 100% know it's not true BUT it most likely is. How would you advocate holding Sen Reid accountable? Sue him for slander? I don't know at the least he should be made to apologize. This is one of the many problems with our country today. You can spout of and say whatever you please and if you are wrong or as in the case, just flat out lying then there are no consequences. It makes me sick.

The way I understand Reid is legally protected while speaking on the Senate floor. Which is why he used that platform to say what he did. An abuse of that power.

August 18, 201214 yr Author No way you can sue for slander. Well you can sue for anything you want, you may not win but you could do it. This is where I think the old way of settling things would work. How about a duel? In all seriousness this is a serious problem in todays world. You can say and do what ever you want and there are no consequences. Harry Reid insinuated that Romney was a felone on the floor of the Senate. At a minimum it's a complete disrespect for the institution and yet his fellow party members encourage his actions. Disgraceful.

August 18, 201214 yr Author How do we know that it is not true? Well an Obama commercial says he paid 14% taxes. But let's say he didn't pay, so what? He filed and played what was required.
