The issue over
releasing his tax returns continues to dog Mitt Romney, because he won’t
release more than his 2010 and 2012 filings.
This has caused a lot of criticism, even from fellow Republicans but
Mitt is adamant. So apparently the Mitt
campaign was looking from some support from John McCain, which
they got. But it is probably not the
support that they wanted.
See Sen. McCain
vetted Mr. Romney for the VP position, and in doing so he received and
reviewed 20 years of Mr. Romney’s tax returns.
So Mr. McCain is certainly in a position to say whether or not there was
the kind of smoking gun in those returns that would make Mr. Romney’s financial
results a liability. And Mr. McCain has
said no, there was not.
"Of course not," McCain told POLITICO
when asked if the contents of Romney's tax returns disqualified him from the
selection process. "I don’t know what depths these people won’t reach.
Obviously, it’s just outrageous. That’s just outrageous. It shows the – it’s so
disgraceful for them to allege something that they have absolutely no knowledge
of."
Now there are several
interesting points here. The first
is that Mr. McCain is furious because people are alleging “something they have
absolutely no knowledge of”, which is true but skips over the rather important
part that the reason they have no knowledge of it is that Mr. Romney refuses to
release the information. So who exactly
is the problem here?
But the really
hilarious thing is what Mr. McCain said about who he did choose over Mr.
Romney.
Asked why he chose not
to go with Romney, McCain said: "Oh come on, because we thought that Sarah
Palin was the better candidate.
Of course this gives
the Mittster a new and maybe greatly effective campaign slogan.
Mitt Romney – a Great Candidate, Just Not as Good as
Sarah Palin
Yep, sure sounds like a winning slogan to us, winning for
Mr. Obama that is.
