Hobie: I agree re: the disbarment. I was simply making the point that the blowjob wasn’t the big deal: It was the subornation of perjury that was.[/quote]
What about Romney’s filing with the SEC that the was CEO of Bain when he wasn’t? Or was he?[/quote]
Brian: While I think the whole Bain and tax return(s) thing is overblown and a distraction, I also think Romney needs to get everything out in the open.
I’d imagine that he probably: A) Made good money during the downturn and is apprehensive about showing that (especially given the number of people out of work/struggling), or B) He engaged in a perfectly legal tax avoidance scheme, like a Loss Carryover/Carryforward, that the average Joe/Jane won’t understand (making him look more elitist and out-of-touch).
On Bain, he was either directing traffic there (post-1999) or he wasn’t. Simple as that. If he wasn’t, divulge those documents/filings that prove it. If he was… Well, that’s a different kettle of fish entirely.
If I’m Obama, I keep hammering away at this (because it keeps attention away from the economy); If I’m Romney, I get this behind me and keep hammering Obama on the economy (which may ultimately prove to be a HUGE factor, if things don’t improve soon).
