Sounding like a SouthPark kid throwing a tantrum at being confronted with the truth ("No, I didn't take the cookie, it WAS MY IMAGINARY FRIEND!"). Harry Reid continues with his make believe bombshell against Mitt Romney- that Romney did not pay taxes for a decade.
Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) didn't back down Wednesday from his ridiculous accusation against Mitt Romney that he had “ heard” from a person who invested with Bain Capital that Mitt Romney didn't pay taxes for a decade. Reid continued with the fabrication quoting the unmanned investor as stating, "Harry, he didn't pay any taxes for 10 years."
Reid has gone even further with his charade:
"I don't think the burden should be on me," he said. "The burden should be on him. He's the one I've alleged has not paid any taxes. Why didn't he release his tax returns?"
Sure – just drop a bomb, impugning someone’s character because your guy is losing big and make it “his burden to prove”. Hard to believe that Reid actually has a J.D. from George Washington University Law School.
"He didn't pay taxes for 10 years! Now, do I know that that's true? Well, I'm not certain," he said. "But obviously he can't release those tax returns. How would it look?"
Notice use of the word, “can’t” – implication that Romney is knowingly hiding something. Perhaps Romney is taking all of our previous advice to be tough and stop playing the left’s games on their turf. (Of course, now all the “pretend conservatives” are whining for Romney to release the tax returns to make the issue “go away”. That oughtta do it – it will just go away. Sure.)
"You guys have said his wealth is $250 million," he said. "Not a chance in the world. It's a lot more than that. I mean, you do pretty well if you don't pay taxes for 10 years when you're making millions and millions of dollars."
Last time I checked, Harry, $250 million is the equivalent of making millions and millions. I guess that’s a BAD THING.
"I am not basing this on some figment of my imagination," he told Nevada reporters on a conference call, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "I have had a number of people tell me that." He declined to name his source.
No it’s a temporal lobe hallucination caused by too many years of being pounded in the head while you were boxing.

At least we're having fun on Twitter with Dingy Harry. Some of the hashtags are hilarious!

This POS has completely jumped the shark. And the sycophants in the MSM are carrying the ball llike good little soldiers--anything to not comment on more rotten economic news. Get used to this play book until Mitt(who is Mormon) sets the tone with his Veep pick. Despicable
