    Apparently news days are only slow when it concerns Romney, given the amount of anti-Obama / anti-Democrats threads that opened up lately..

    He entered himself into a popularity contest, not a criminal trial.
    However the shot about his dad being ashamed was downright filthy.

    In fairness, I don't think you watch US news media very closely. I tuned into MSNBC for giggles last week, and received three full hours dedicated to nothing but bashing Romney; I'm not kidding when I say that there wasn't a single story, on any of the three programs, that didn't concern him. I haven't watched FOX in a while, but if I had to guess, they're probably doing similar things for Obama. The news media in this country has gone into full-on campaign mode, each network becoming little more than a cheerleader for its respective candidate.

    What Reid is describing is hearsay, plain and simple. As of this time, he's demonstrated nothing to substantiate his claim. It's "news" because he's a national politician. John Boehner making a similar accusation against Obama would likely be reported in the same manner, depending on the source.

    This forum is not an accurate sample of US voters.

    Wow.....so we have Harry Reid(Mormon Convert) attacking Mitt Romney(who was born into the Church), and while he is going on, Reid had this to say,
    "He didn't pay taxes for 10 years! Now, do I know that that's true? Well, I'm not certain," said Reid."
    What a cok knocker.........

    So he has no proof but just wants to stir the pot.

    Is there a perceived difference between converts and those born into the LDS?

    Step back a moment - take a deep breath - and imagine the same headline with Obama instead of Romney.

    Mr Reid was playing dirty politics as usual, ALL Mitt needs to do is release his tax returns - easy no ? The fact that this tradition was started by his dad is Ironic.

    Exactly - you bring them up quite a bit - demonstrating how a lack of candor re-enforces negative impressions.

    And Harry Reid has released how many of his tax returns during his tenure in the US Senate?

    Reid likes to get pegged by Pelosi, and Michelle Obama was taking the pics for her hubby! Now I can't confirm that, but that's what I heard from...


    The bar for "news" just gets lower and lower.
