If Romney hasn't paid his taxes wouldn't the IRS have been on it. The IRS has had an unprecedented hiring spree in the Obama years, since liberals love levying taxes more than anything. Doesn't inspire much confidence in these supposedly selfless bureaucrats, does it.

When is Obama going to explain why both he and his wife are no longer allowed to practice law in the State of Illinois? Were they disbarred ?

So don't vote for Romney.
It's that simple.
Speaking of stonewalling though, why can't sushi answer the questions put to him here? How many of your relatives are on Medicare? What was last experience in an American hospital like? You talk about instances of voter "oppression" by Republicans but you give no details. What state, sushi ?

One of his messages, at any rate, with the word justice redefined to satisfy his ideology. Assange excites Walter Mitty-esque, dime store nihilists everywhere.

So why hasn't the current bunch of liberals in the White House , with majorities in the Senate and House until Jan 2010, bothered to even present the nation with a budget ?????
It takes 51 votes from the Senate. Democrats had and still have it within their power to easily pass a budget.
The country has gone more than one thousand days without a freaking federal budget.
Obama and the Democrats have no reply.It is absolutely indefensible. They have failed to uphold the most basic duties they took oaths to perform. The mainstream media's abdication of any responsibility for covering this matter is beyond disgusting.
At least Paul Ryan and his party have drawn up a plan for us to decide upon.

Palin was absolutely masterful this week.
By publicly suggesting in her sweetly snarky way that Obama dump Biden for Hillary, the most unfairly reviled object of the liberal media these last 3 decades gave a stark and painful reminder to the electorate that in 08, the supposedly transformational Obama snubbed a competent woman like HRC for a senate old boy like Slow Joe Biden; and Palin thereby effectively chained - as Sheriff Joe would say - incumbent Obama to the gaffe-prone Biden, in the same week no less that the entire nation is reviewing the role and influence of the VP.
Touche.

The name-calling is as much a veiled threat to fellow travelers whose loyalty to The Cause might be flagging as it is an expression of hatred for 'The Other', as lefties like to say. For most libs their politics is a substitute religion. Heresy is not taken lightly. Single women are a slice of the demographic the party cannot afford to lose. Hence the intense hatred for a happily married well-adjusted woman who quite literally has it all and exhibits none of the disaffection and neurosis lefty feminists have brainwashed millions of young American women into believing was the lot of women 'back in the 50s', which is where conservative women like Sarah Palin are said to be stuck in.

Never been proven.

I have to ask. Sushisake3, how many of your relatives are on Medicare? What was your last experience at an American hospital like? Do you personally know anyone whose right to vote was supposedly oppressed ( other than US military, overwhelmingly conservative, denied their votes by Democrats)? If so, in what state was this allowed to happen? Also - do you know anyone on welfare? Do you know what you can buy with your EBT card now that Obama has gutted the very admirable welfare reforms that were made in the Clinton years?

And for an encore, AlternateUniverse will explain that Assange's date rape victim in Sweden 'had it coming' or 'shouldn't have left the bar with him if she is that naive.'

Instanbul would be the best choice. Turkey is a country whose history and politics has much to teach the idealistic types who subscribe to the notion that throwing China the Olympic has had the Chi-coms crooning We Are The World ever since.

"(Reuters) - The United States gave China a six-month reprieve from Iran financial sanctions on Thursday, * (...) *With Thursday's decision to grant exceptions to China, which buys up to a fifth of Iran's oil exports, and Singapore, which buys Iranian fuel oil, the Obama administration has now spared all 20 of Iran's major oil buyers from its unilateral sanctions.
Gutsy call, Mr President!
Carter should bear some responsibility. France of course harbored Khomeini while in exile. The BBC in Iran did all they could to help bring down the Shah.
