The Ugly American: Mitt Romney’s Disastrous Overseas Excursion by Robert Shrum
"Romney went overseas to show he was qualified to be president—but seldom if ever has any such an effort made someone look so foolish so fast, with so much blowback coming from across the political spectrum."

Even his staff is imploding...did anyone catch the comments by his Press Sec in Poland....what was he thinking! Goes to Mitt's character in selecting qualified people to advise him...not doing real well so far!
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
How could this 2 faced POS be the republican nominee, if you can make it through this whole video it will definitely change your mind if you had any intention of voting for him.
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
A new Brookings Institution/Tax Policy Center study finds Mitt Romney's plan to overhaul the tax code would produce cuts for the richest 5% of Americans -- and larger bills for everybody else.

The Wall Street Journal... “Mitt Romney is relying on both moderate and hawkish neoconservative advisers …” many of these advisers were Bush operatives.
Some of the names from Romney’s list are as follows…
Henry Kissinger (Nixon’s Secretary of State) James Baker (George H.W. Bush’s Secretary of State) Cofer Black (former CIA official, former vice president of Blackwater International) Eliot Cohen (George W. Bush’s State Department official) Paula Dobriansky (George W. Bush’s State Department official) John Bolton (George W. Bush’s former UN ambassador) John Lehman (Reagan’s Secretary of the Navy) George Shultz (Reagan’s Secretary of State) Richard Williamson (George W. Bush’s Assistant Secretary of State) Michael Chertoff (Bush’s Homeland Security Secretary) Michael Hayden (created warrantless wiretapping programs for Bush)

Last week Romney claimed that Israel's culture is superior to the Palestinians' because of their higher per capita GDP.
"As you come here [Israel] and you see the GDP per capita, for instance, in Israel which is about $21,000 dollars, and compare that with the GDP per capita just across the areas managed by the Palestinian Authority, which is more like $10,000 per capita, you notice such a dramatically stark difference in economic vitality." "Culture makes all the difference,” Romney said. Let's apply Willard's analysis to the United States.
~ Of the top 10 states (and including DC) in per capita GDP, only two, Alaska and Wyoming, are Republican. And Alaska is heavily subsidized by the federal government.
~ Of the bottom 10 states in per capita GDP, only two, Michigan and New Mexico, are Blue.
So, 8 of the 10 most prosperous states are Blue, and 8 of the 10 poorest states are Red. According to Mitt's view, the difference must be the poor Republican Culture, and the SUPERIOR Democrat Culture.
And there's more. ~ Red states have higher rates of divorce, teen pregnancy, higher crime crates, and lower education levels than Blue states.
It must be Romney's Republican Inferior Culture!

This paper examines the tradeoffs among three competing goals that are inherent in a revenue-neutral income tax reform—maintaining tax revenues, ensuring a progressive tax system, and lowering marginal tax rates. As a motivating example, we estimate the degree to which individual income tax expenditures would have to be limited to achieve revenue neutrality under the individual income tax rates and other features advanced in presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s tax plan, and how the required reductions in tax breaks could change the distribution of the tax burden across households. (We do not score Governor Romney’s plan directly, as certain components of his plan are not specified in sufficient detail, nor do we make assumptions regarding what those components might be.)
Sen. Harry Reid not only stuck by his story of a Bain Capital investor claiming Mitt Romney paid no taxes at all for 10 years, he broadened it in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal and other reporters.
"I am not basing this on some figment of my imagination. I have had a number of people tell me that."
" I don't think the burden should be on me. The burden should be on him. He's the one I've alleged has not paid any taxes. Why didn't he release his tax returns?"

Reid heard it from an un-named source who will remain unknown. Just another false story to deflect peoples attention from jobs, the economy, and the debt.

I agree it's a huge risk for Reid if this story turns out to be false. Mitt could end the speculation and doubt about his tax evasion... if he makes his tax returns public.
If false, Reid would be the fool. If true... Romney would.

Reid is already a fool so what does he have to gain or lose.
Q. What does Romney have to gain or lose by proving Reid wrong??? A. If Mitt paid no taxes for 10 years... while making millions, then proposes a plan to RAISE TAXES on the middle class... Mitt stands to lose the election... big time.

Trusted people in government positions have seen Mitts tax returns and have verified that he paid taxes, example being John McCain who vetted Mitt in 2008 as a possible VP pick. You can choose to believe him or not.

Again... opinion as facts.

Harry Reid is a jack a** and an embarrassment to the Democratic Party. But since he is demanding that Romney make public more of his financial records than the election law requires -- why doesn't Harry Reid make public ALL of his financial record -- especially the money he has received from various special interest groups in Nevada and those surrounding his "bridge to nowhere" in Nevada.
Then Obama can make public all of his business/financial dealings with the convicted felon Tony Rezko and similar Chicago figures who backed Obama into the Illinois State Senate, the US Senate and then the White House. My guess is that Obama would end up a cellmate of Rod Blagojevich -- if the truth of those dealings ever came out.
