LOL, loosechickens. As long as we're speculating, why don't we include the possibility that he gave his entire earnings to charity for some of those years and is simply waiting for all the negative speculation to reach a crescendo just before the elections.

Well now what do we do? LC's logic confirms the only reason Barry won't release his college transcripts is they show he was a foreign exchange student. Who's giving us the full Monty?

LOL I love the way you put this, who's giving us the full Monty.....ROTFLMAO! Thanks for the laugh.....Rob
I was wondering how "he did something illegal" could be squared with the fact that there is a whole agency charged with making sure one doesn't cheat on their taxes. You may have heard of it, it's called the Internal Revenue Service. So I was speculating possible theories that could be advanced: the IRS is corrupt, the IRS is covering for Romney, the IRS doesn't go after the 1% as it has been bought out by them (but that's where the money is). None of which I believed! I mean the government is *plenty* corrupt in general, but I think the IRS (love em or hate em) plays it pretty straight and so for that I'd need proof. So I guess we have a new theory!
Level of wealth inequality in this country is scandalous? Fact that he probably pays a lower percentage than the average middle class working person without deductions is scandalous?And, to think, that Romney, himself, could prove all this speculation wrong, just by revealing the tax returns, as every other Presidential candidate has done for the past thirty years or so, including Romney's own father. WHY isn't he doing that? WHAT is he hiding? Is there anyone who can think that it isn't something way worse than what he is suffering from just stonewalling and refusing to release the information?
Wikileaks is great, under denial of service attacks for breaking trapwire at this point I guess. Real news though, more important than Romney's taxes even for which I assume they don't have anything.Where are Wikileaks when you need them? ;-)

I don't see the Paul philosophy as being accepted whole hog, instead, it's a big step in the right direction. His theoretical Presidency wouldn't change that much but it sure would get wheels moving.
Iris, I'm very curious, what parts of Ron Paul's philosophy do you support? Reason I ask is that even though I tend to be a liberal Democrat, there are a few Liberterian stances I agree with - such as end the drug war and government out of the bedroom. Just curious which ones you support? Rob
Again, presidential candidates have traditionally not released college transcripts. What's so special about President Obama? Next you'll want a stool sample.
Randomly, off the top of my head:
small Federal government
Federal government that supports strong defense (note that means defense on home turf)
goobermnet out of your personal life--you can take that however you like, but I am ok with legalizing most substances with the expectation that there's no gooberment programs to help the addicted in my model; I side with the libertarians who see the rights of a citizen adult as trumping the rights of the citizen fetus (and that issue varies between libertarians)
shrink the Federal government, shrink it right down
support the free market, not businesses
and finally, make the Feds tiny in stature
I thought that GW did release his GPA at least or was that only to embarrass John Kerry?
