What is the only issue for which Mr. Romney has not flip-flopped? He stands firm on one thing: not releasing his tax returns. Why so firm on this issue?

Mr. Romney is running for President of the United States.
This is a position of Trust.
Ronald Reagan said, "Trust but Verify."
Mr. Romney has said, "Trust me," re his tax returns.
It is not unreasonable for voters to want to "Verify.

It is not just liberals who want to see Romney's tax returns.
It is 63% of American voters who do.

The longer Mr. Romney delays, the more suspicious it appears.

Obama released 8 years of tax returns
GW Bush 10 years
Clinton 12 years
GHW Bush 14 years
George Romney 12 years.

What is the problem, Mr. Romney? Release your tax returns.

If all this noise about bank accounts came from disclosures in Romney's tax returns where does the president get off suggesting Romney is trying to hide something? Obama thinks we are idiots.

Where's the clip of the flat-out lie he told when he said "no one is calling Mr. Romney a felon"? It's not on your website nor did you show it on the Evening News.

What little credibility your news organization had just sank a little lower. Still carrying the water for the Messiah, CBS?

For some reason, I'm not surprised.
