Anyway, I've never been more proud to live in this hill-billy paradise.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Oh, I can think of more fucked up ways.  The unfounded allegations were based on unreleased personal information, that is the crux of the whole matter.

No they weren't.  They were purportedly based on something a Bain investor said to Harry.

Now it would be accurate to say that the only way to conclusively refute this bizarre-ass allegation would be to release Romney's tax records.  But with the exception of Harry Reid, you, Seedy, and maybe that nutcase from Vermont, no one thinks the allegation needs refuting.

Really?  I bet I could find one other person.  If this is all about allegations made toward a Presidential candidate why the devil did you bring up Eric Holder?  Tell me, what should we think about Romney's refusal to release his tax forms?  And while we are on the subject, could you tell me what is so "Bizarre-ass" about the allegation?

You're right, you could probably find at least one more person.  There are still people who watch MSNBC.

I brought up Eric Holder because the devil you changed the subject from wacko allegations to unreleased information.

I've already answered Jacob's question on Romney's tax returns.  He doesn't want to provide more grist for the Democratic demonization mill.

The bizarre-ass-edness of the allegations lies in the near metaphysical impossibility of having zero tax liability for 10 years in a row combined with the extreme unlikelihood of a person of Romney's wealth going unaudited for 10 years while claiming zero tax liability.

The US has moved a lot further along the path towards the world in The Handmaid's Tale than I ever imagined.

Except the dude is being rightly pilloried for his comments about "legitimate rape".

Guy is getting pilloried, but the legislation is still getting pushed in various ways in different states.

He's getting pilloried for the "gaffe" of saying out loud how he justifies his otherwise immoral stance on forcing rape victims to give birth to their rapists child.

What could possibly be in those tax forms that hurt Romney?   :goodboy:  I've had zero tax liability for like 10 years, so it's not that impossible.  And haven't people been able to avoid taxes for years without getting caught?  Especially if you shift you money to off shore accounts.  I bet that helps.

So basically you are saying Harry Reid is claiming there are bad things in Romney's taxes and he's a liar but Romeny shouldn't release those taxes because there potential bad things in there.

I could swear I just answered that question again.

At no time have I said Romney shouldn't release his tax records.  I'm basically saying Reid can back up his bizarre allegation with proof, back down, or live with being a non-credible wingnut.

Reports are that Akin will officially withdraw by tomorrow evening.  And apparent Ashcroft is one of the possible replacement candidates :lol:

How can Reid find proof?  Did most Republicans regard Reid as credible before this?

I'm pretty sure he can't.  No clue.
