HARRY REID-ROMNEY PAID ZERO, NOTHING IN TAXES 10 Years

They are republicans! Look at what they did to the country to "hurt" Obama's reelection chances. You think they have any problem dong this?

If it's the latter, then they are calling him a liar with no evidence to back it up, because they can't produce transcripts of all Reid's conversations. If it's the former, then they are wrong because he did not, himself, assert that Romney paid no taxes. He implied it, and I admit that's kind of smarmy. It was clearly an intentional provocation to keep the tax issue front and center, but it's not lying.

Why is it okay for them to explicitly call Reid a liar, but not okay for Reid to say he has heard that Romney may have paid no taxes some years?

Gee, this seems easy enough to resolve. Romney doesn't have to even turn over his tax returns. He can just release a schedule showing by year his total income (line 22) and total taxes (line 61). No embarrassing details like what countries he parked money in. Just those two lines. What does he have to fear from that?

BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA.... what he has to fear is that the total taxes number is going to be so small that even though it's legal, I'm sure, it'll cause a firestorm.
