    If the truth nodeffs then it nodeffs. This country was built on God (for those that don't know) The Father of Jesus Christ. Our children have been silenced while those who oppose Judea Christian beliefs have a right to spout their lies. I don't go around screaming I'm straight. Get real people make bad decisions being gay is one of them. If that's your decision you don't have the right to flaunt it while my children are silenced by stupidity of godless liberals. YEAH Rick Perry for taking a stand for what is RIGHT!

    The reason is obvious. He's desperately trying to look like a man of the people, and when it comes out that earns gazillions of dollars per year, he'll get criticized as being a high paid CEO that doesn't care about the people.

    Why won't Mitt release his tax returns??? We can only speculate.

    TOP TEN REASONS WHY MITT WON'T RELEASE HIS TAX RETURNS???

    10. Because he doesn't have to (this is actually the reason Mitt has given).

    9. Because he is so arrogant he really believes he can get elected without releasing them???

    8. Because he is paying a lower percentage of taxes than the average American???

    7. Because he is a Bishop in the Mormon Church and doesn't have to pay any taxes at all???

    6. Because he gets paid $5 million per year, tax free, for being a Bishop in the Mormon Church???

    5. Because he does not give 10% of his income to the Mormon Church???

    4. Because he has paid $5 million to the "Bad Actors Academy" for acting lessons???

    3. Because he is a paid lobbyist for the Chinese government???

    2. Because he has not filed any tax returns, and the IRS is after him about it???

    1. Because he has not filed any tax returns, and the IRS has not found out yet???

      I know a number of Mormon bishops who would find number 6 particularly hilarious, as they get paid nothing.

      Say what you will about Romney's politics, but Romney has not been a practicing Mormon bishop for several years, and Mormon bishops are unpaid.

    Who gives money to this person? His own state didn't want him. He is too radical in almost every way. What small fringe is giving him money? What a waste of money!
