Note all of he evil talk of suspicious Cayman island banking accounts mentioned in this thread... Then read this

Apparently, nobody thought to tell the boys on the Romney beat that Gawker Media is part of a shell company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Gawker’s money lives in the same neighborhood as Romney’s money. Call it bipartisanship.

And GAWKER...Like WikiLeaks structures itself off-shore to protect itself from being prosecuted or shut-down when it releases sensitive documents that the US Government doesn't like.

Interesting that Mitt Romney employs the same tactics??

What is HE hiding for?

Don't you think he should explain WHY he is hiding the origins and actual amounts of his vast fortune from the US Government and American People while at the same time demanding to be appointed leader of that same government and people?

Just absurd...YES Wikileaks and Gawker seek shelter from governments offshore...so do online gambling operations...we know why...What is Mitt's reason???

wow!!!! I think Romney is a genius.

I think the Romney people did this themselves. Hear me out. Gawker is a shell company from the Cayman Islands, if Romney wanted to release the documents secretly he may have some people inside Gawker to do the dump for him. It would be really easy to do since they are probably next door neighbors!

This is an awesome political move on Romney's part as well, because nobody really is going to search through all these documents. The major news networks are not covering this story, because it is a non-issue, just like the tax-dodging claims made by the democrats. Gawker is not a respectable blog. Just like none of the "findings" from wikileaks was talked about. Just Wikileaks themselves. I hope the Right Wing Blogs Vet Gawker for all its scheming!

It's what I call politispeak. Just talking points and distractions thrown around by both parties. If Romney, did this purposely, it was genius! No one cares!!!!

I am not overly sold on the Bain/Taxes angle by the left.
Yes, Rmoney probably had years where he paid no taxes at all..he is lying about it, sure..he made tons of money bankrupting companies, etc etc etc.
This is all just shrewed billionaire business moves though...he played the system, because the system is made to be played like that.

The question I have is not if a billionaire played the system (they all do, this isn't a debate, this is a simple fact), the question is, which one of the two will address the systems problems to make it less playable to begin with.

Rmoney made a bundle, but even he can decide (after making his zillions) that its a bad system that needs to be fixed, and fix it...or he can ignore it and let it continue to be played..same with Obama

Problem here is, outside of lip service from the left, things are rarely done about it. Be it from unwilling from the top, or obstruction from the paid for congress to ensure status quo...so, ya..the system itself, the whole big system of capitalism purchasing the republic is flawed and broken.

so, we are meant to be shocked that a filthy rich person lied, cheated, and stole from a system designed to do just that...no...well, I am not anyhow. I am however shocked that serious discussion and bills arent being pushed to stop this rampant abuse

Let's think about your statement for a while and then take a trip back in my neato time machine to 2008 and a failed vetting process of then Candidate Obama.

Translation....inability to "Think about" my statement and come up with a relevant response.....thus Derail....This isn't a birther thread.

Romney is hiding something in his tax returns...and it seems like he is hiding even more in his retirement package.

It will be interesting to see how much damage this does and how much additional pressure is put on Romney to release his taxes.

Obama is hiding something in is Collage records and transcripts. It would be interesting to see how a lower class person got into these prestige collages after saying in his own words how his" last two years of high school were a bluer" from doing drugs all day long.

I guess Romneys taxes are more important. O you Romney.... I know your hidding something..he must be one of those "rich" people like obama is..

I'm a lower class person, and i did way too many drugs in high school to remember the majority of my last few years there, and i still got into an Ivy League school. Does that mean that i also must be some sort of secret Muslim terrorist or something? Am i hiding something because of that? If i am, i must be hiding it so well that even I'm not aware of it. Amazing. There is absolutely no logic or rationality behind your statements.

Also, i don't see why Obama should release his collage records. Making collages seems like a perfectly innocent hobby to me.

What a surprise. A lying scumbag presidential candidate, equal to the lying scumbag already in office.

Why not stick to the topic, which is Romney, not Obama? Post your (weak and imaginary) suspicions on your own threads.

"I don't care about Romney's past with Bain Capital. This is a free country and capitalism is what we're about. To demonize that only shows how anti-capitalist his opposition is."

No, libs aren't "anti-capitalism." Libs are anti-corruption. See the distinction?

Libs aren't against prosperity. They're against prosperity gained off the backs of others, gained from other's loss of jobs, their health care, their pensions, and their hopes.


It's another distraction because Obama can't run on his record; if's dismal. He makes Carter look like a wild success.

Other than a "distraction," what can one call dubious attacks against Obama on a thread about Romney?
