It will be totally awesome when Mitt Romney releases his tax returns, and proves Harry Reid, Dana Bash and his former Bain Associates wrong! Can't wait!

Or ...

Quote:

CBS Boston is speculating that camp Romney has sprung a Mormon leak, “But the source coming to Harry Reid for these revelations adds a level of intrigue. Harry Reid just happens to be the highest-ranking member of the Mormon Church in the history of this nation. It is likely that Senator Reid’s source shares the Mormon religion with Reid and Romney.

That message will not be lost on Romney. If the Bain fortress is not a fortress; if people are talking, Romney knows that trouble lies ahead.

Quote:

And the motivation for this leak may not be political. It is likely personal and tied to the Mormon Church.

Specifically, if Romney was hiding money from the IRS he may have hidden money from his church.

It is expected that members of the Mormon Church tithe a minimum of ten percent of their incomes. But if Romney was not paying taxes and hiding money, then his disclosure – which itemizes deductions, including to the church – would tip off his actual income to the IRS. http://boston.cbslocal.com/2012/08/0...ves-mitt-hell/

Harry Reid would not have repeated the claim three times if he wasn’t certain that his information was solid. The odds are that somebody in Romney’s circle is whispering to Harry Reid.

The Senate Majority Leader appears supremely confident in his information.

Romney can’t release the returns, because of what they contain. Reid already knows this. So every time Mitt Romney lies about his tax returns, he digs himself in deeper and Republicans watch their chance to defeat Obama fade away.

Reid also reported that his sources gave him magic beans along with the information in return for his cow.

and why you ask is this the most important topic of the day?

unemployment rate rises to 8.3 percent

ah, politics..where people can start a rumor without having to worry about proof, and then watch the other guy have to disprove it.

yeah...pension debt continues to hamper cities and businesses (tied to banking, again. declining interest rates are killing these funds), the economy remains sluggish, we continue in the longest war in u.s. history, unemployment only declines because people stop looking for jobs (amazing, isn't it? you're still unemployed, and yet...you're not!), manufacturing is down...

and everyone is focused on whether a guy may have paid taxes. i have far worse concerns about romney. is that an issue? sure? the number one issue? no. where were the concerns about payment of taxes when obama was forming his staff? those people (geithner for one) were still approved. and those weren't rumors-those were facts.

so, everyone...what are the most pressing needs in this country in order of priority? and how do we fix them?

The actual unemployment rate only went from 8.20% to 8.25% - and number of jobs created exceeded expectations. All in the face of 100% Republican economic obstructionism in the House. If we only had real Republicans in the House, rather than the silly Tea Party caucus controlling Boehner, unemployment would be 6% by now.

But when your legislative goal is to "prevent Obama's re-election", obstructionism is all the GOP can do.

Jobs report beats forecasts with 163,000 jobs in July

By Tim Mullaney, USA TODAY
Updated 13m ago

The nation's unemployment rate ticked up from 8.2% to 8.3% as the economy added a surprising 163,000 jobs in July.

U.S. stock index futures rose after the report, and when stock markets opened an hour later, stocks rallied.

The number of payroll jobs beat forecasts that called for about 100,000 new jobs, according to economists surveyed by Bloomberg.

Overall, private employers added 172,000 jobs in July while governments cut 9,000, the Labor Department reported.

Employment rose in professional and business services, food services and drinking places and manufacturing, the government said.

Employment continues to recover slowly from a recession that pushed unemployment to 10% in October 2009.
Payrolls

The change in the unemployment rate was actually miniscule, says Maury Harris, chief U.S. economist for UBS. "It went from 8.2% to 8.25%, and they rounded up to 8.3%."
