MSNBC: Maybe Romney Will Back Out Before Convention Over Tax Returns

Could Romney’s tax returns disqualify him from the Presidency?

If that seems like a silly question to you, you clearly haven‘t been watching Al Sharpton’s show on MSNBC very carefully. Indeed, you probably haven‘t been listening to the Left’s narrative regarding this election period, if you think that question’s off-the-rails.

So how did the Left come up with this idea? Pretty much the same way critics charge that the birther movement first came up with the idea that President Obama isn’t qualified to be President – namely, by taking a candidate’s refusal to release a particular document and extrapolating from that refusal the idea that the document includes some earth-shattering revelation. Indeed, it may be that following the segment we are about to show you from Sharpton’s show on MSNBC, a new category of conspiracy cranks should be created specifically for the Left – namely, “returners.”

Mediaite sums up the segment:

On his MSNBC show today, Al Sharpton opened by focusing on Mitt Romney‘s tax returns and increasing pressure from Republicans and conservatives for the GOP candidate to release more of them. Guest Catherine Crier said that it is certainly fair to look into that aspect of Romney’s background, and even threw out the notion that Romney might withdraw as the Republican nominee before the convention.[...]

Then, talking about what the implications of releasing or not releasing the returns would be, Crier mentioned she read an article today saying Romney might have to withdraw before the convention.

She didn’t mention which piece it was, but it was likely this post on The Huffington Post by Paul Abrams, who made this argument against Romney if the returns come out and reveal that the candidate took advantage of a 2009 IRS amnesty program.

Watch the segment below, also courtesy of Mediaite:

So what did the article Ms. Crier may have read actually say? Well…this:

No one who has received amnesty for a serious crime, such as tax evasion, can be president. One would think that someone for whom the clear implications are that he has received amnesty, but will not release exculpatory documents, also cannot be president.[...]

Romney failed to disclose the documents he filed with the IRS in 2010, the year he has already released, that detail his Swiss Account holdings.

Hence, I am now prepared to go beyond my suggestions that the Republicans would not give him the nomination to a firm prediction: Romney will not be the 2012 Republican nominee for president.

This may sound scary. In actuality, it’s completely ridiculous. In order for this argument to be true, not only would every Republican running for President this past year have to have purposefully ignored this potentially toxic issue, but every Republican who has endorsed Romney (including John McCain, who probably saw Romney’s tax returns when he was vetting him for Vice President in 2008) would have to either not care, or be in on the scam. Moreover, the IRS’ amnesty provision was purposefully anonymous, so as to not do any damage to a particular politician. From another article, also on the Huffington Post:

But Shaviro and other tax experts note that one of the principal benefits of the amnesty program is its anonymity. Nobody who received amnesty from the IRS would ever have to tell the public they’d held a Swiss bank account. Any politician who had received amnesty could have simply shut down their account and washed his or her hands of any political liability. And once the IRS was aware of the account, maintaining it would have had no tax benefits.

Was Romney in on this? It would be impossible to give an answer, since there’s no evidence to support such a contention. In fact, if faced with the question, Romney could easily deny it, precisely because there’s no evidence involved. In other words, this argument is completely unprovable and simply a function of Leftist wishful thinking somehow managing to escape its natural habitat in “The Newsroom.”

      Bob Beckel was ranting away that Romney had something to hide since he won’t release his tax returns. Isn‘t it funny that he doesn’t think Obama has something to hide with all his sealed records, which he did the first day with an Executive Order. No, thats not strange at all?????????

Nancy Polussy was going to drain the swamp and she had to immediatily put the plug back in. There were 6 Zars to be that had to decline because of tax problems and then there was Turbo Timmy who lied and blamed it on Turbo Tax. Then Charlie Rangle who wrote the tax code didn’t know that you have tp pay tax on foreign investiments ($387,000.00) that he screwed us out of. On & ON.

WEIRD, I BET YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PLAN AS TAKING FROM THE RICH, AND OUT OF FAIRNESS YOUR GOING TO HELP THE POOR… really way to dumb the debate down FOR MORONS…. ROMNEY this is such a set up for you to turn the tempo… JUST SAY,” DONT ASK FOR ANY OF MY HISTORY UNTIL OBAMA DISCOLSES MORE ABOUT HIS HISTORY, AND IF OBAMA DOES NOT WANT TO TELL US THAT, HE SHOULD TELL US WHAT HE WANTS TO DO TO FIX THE ECONOMY…. HE HAS TWO THINGS TO TALK ABOUT, ANYTHING ELSE IS A SIDE SHOW TO TRY AND ENTERTAIN YOU WITH LIES AND DISTRACTIONS… A GOOD LEADER IS THE FIRST THING A STRONG AND PROSPEROUS..

Actually nobody on the right that I am aware of is defending Romney for NOT releasing his returns, and many conservatives are saying he should. Billy Kristol, Rick Perry, Michael Steele, Ron Paul, Haley Barbour, George Will and others.

      Clearly Romney’s group has calculated that he has a lot to lose and nothing to gain by releasing tax returns, as all Presidential candidates have for the last 60 years.

      Obama showed his papers. Why won’t Romney show his? What’s he hiding?

      So let me get this straight. The left can create a pure fantasy of thought, put it out as news as if it were true, and claim because of it Romney should just quit and there will be no election because He is a criminal therefore there is no one fit to run against the communist in chief? Yet it is just fine if Obama fills our greatest seat of government full of communists, refuse to follow any laws He deems unsuitable for His agenda. Appoint an attorney general who will not prosecute any black criminals. Then Obama decides to pass His own laws as He sees fit ignoring congress and in violation of the Constitution and the law, tell us He is going to create an army of civilians more armed than our military to act as the law enforcers of the land. Well that explains the half million rounds of .40 cal ammunition He needs. Or was it more than that all this crap gets to be so much to follow anymore. He bows down to and supports dictators and enemies, goes after our allies, insults the memory of Churchill and the nation of England while despising our once great nation and every one of it’s patriotic citizens. Yet the left claims He is perfect and fit to rule, all others need not apply. Did I forget to mention the felonies of using drugs? Oh yes Romney is a criminal and cannot run for office because of the imaginary crimes He committed in the psychotic minds of zombies who claim to represent the truthful media trying to save us from the insane patriotic conservatives.

So, Is Obama Sr. not really Obama’s Dad? Could it be his dad is either Frank Marshall Davis or even Malcomb X? Was he in fact born somewhere else, and they covered up an illigimate pregnancy by having someone pretend to marry Stanley Ann? Was Stanley Ann even his real mother or was it HER mother? Did Obama even attend classes at college, or sit and listen to Marxist professors off-time? No one seems to remember him from college. Now I get a picture in my inbox that is supposed to be Obama in Hawaii, with a wedding ring during his Occidental College days. Did he have wife before Michelle, or at the same time because he’s Muslim? We can ask rediculous questions, too.

      Understand something, as based in 2001, after Bush Jr won the electorial college, the Senate still had to tally and confirm the electorial counts; there were challenges made by the House members of Alice Hastings (D – Fla), Jesse Jackson Jr (D – Ill), and other democratic represenatives; I watched this matter on C-Span, and recall all too clearly that Al Gore asking each of the challengers from the House in turn if the Senate member of the corresponding state challenged the outcome as well.

      This would be the final means by which Obamas supporters could force a election vote in the Congress and possibly have him hold onto the Presidency.
