Man I hope Newt wins the primary, it would be such a gift from on high
I'm still cheering for Santorum.
Truly surprised he has made it this far, and really hope he goes all the way.
I strongly suspect Obama is going to enjoy destroying any of these guys in debates, but Santorum in particular just has so many angles of attack based on reprehensible opinions.
Forar on
First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!

The thing about Gingrich is that his reptilian brain is constantly at full speed. He would lie so shamelessly in every debate and every time a microphone approached him he would probably shock even Obama a bit.
Considering he had to know the question was coming Mitt's response on tax returns was pretty horrible and rambling huh
I think it killed him, honestly.
I loved it when Mitt just smirked when the crowd booed him at his tax return response. God he oozes arrogance, and deals with any and all criticism with petulance.

I really liked his near paralysis when asked "your dad released twelve years of tax returns because just one could be tweaked to look good. Will you?"
I'm pretty sure there was something in that stammered response that was like "Well I mean I don't know how many years of tax returns I have laying around," and I immediately yelled BY LAW YOU ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE AT LEAST SEVEN YOU SLIMY FUCK which caused some consternation for my parents.

Meh, the law doesn't require exactly seven, so it's perfectly plausible he has more than seven yet doesn't know how many he has. Hell I don't know how many I have in my records (I doubt it's above five to be honest). Seems to be a silly thing to get angry over.
Please consider the environment before printing this post.

You aren't required to keep any tax return by law, AFAIK.
If you are worried about an audit, then I think the IRS can only go back 7 years thanks to the statute of limitations, which is how people came to think of that as the number to have.
Besides, unless you itemize, then the IRS already possesses every detail about your returns since you started filing.

I'm not sure how well a defense of 'my accountant is incompetent' will hold up for something like this. And do you honestly think that Romney doesn't itemize? The man is worth a quarter billion dollars and makes tens of millions of dollars a year from a job he quit over a decade ago.

Oh I'm sure his accountant has all his records, but I don't think that there is a law that states that you must keep X number of returns. I could be wrong, so if you know of such a law, please post a citation so that I may stand corrected.

Perhaps I am stupid, but I don't think any of that means, "must maintain 7 years of tax return documentation."
I sure as hell hope not because I don't have a freaking clue where 2009's docs are.

I dvr'd this, and am just watching it, and I have to wonder - how the hell is "Teleprompter" still a huge applause line against Obama?
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

He is a control freak, after all.
And don't forget he doesn't want to be punished (by the voters?) for his success.

Because it implies that a black man is stupid.
It doesn't though. That's what is so amazing. One of their side made a complete ass of themselves and they countered it by pointing at something Obama and everybody else does. How did that work? Well, it won't work in the general.

I think every time Gingrich deflects or babbles away criticisms in the debates the base salivates at the thought of him going to the presidential debates and putting that smooth-talking rhetoric-reliant Obamer in his place, if you know what I mean (you do). They've endured Obamer's strutting for years and now they want to sublimate their resentful fury. Romney can lie and slander without remorse, but he can't channel that emotional need for revenge.
Of course, Obama isn't Romney. McCain and Palin were shameless attack dogs as well and Obama remained resolute.

The campaign must have forgotten to program the tax-return answer routine into that unit. I think I have the assembler code around here somewhere...
