What is your take on Harry Reid's conspiracy theories about Romney's tax returns?

In case you were not aware, Harry Reid created a conspiracy theory that Romney hasn't paid his taxes for 10 years. Do you think Harry Reid is a conspiracy theorist?

    Dirty Harry will do and say anything to keep the liberals in power. This is his last term as Senator, he has no plans to run again, and anything he says (including numerous lies and innuendos), will have no bearing on his future.

    That said, I wonder how Dirty Harry made his multiple millions while serving in the Senate? Insider trading, perhaps?

    This isn't a consipiracy. A conspiracy would involved an organized effort and cover up. Harry Reid is alledging to my understanding that Romney and his accountants manipulated his money in such a way over the last decade that his effect fedaral tax rate is 0. I imagine that this claim is false, but Harry Reid has made the claim as hear-say. (You know, the same way Fox news says "Some people in washington have been saying...)

    Either way, it comes down to trust. I don't believe Harry Reid, but I don't believe Mitt Romney either. The differnce is, that if Mitt Romney wanted to shut down Mr. Reid and show him as a liar it would be easy to do so. Therefore I must assume that what ever is in his tax returns, He deems more damning, than just having a war of allegations on TV.

    If I remember properly, which in contrast to liberals, I do, Reid acknowledged that Mitt hadn't paid any taxes within the last ten years. So, yes, Romney is due an apology, however don't preserve your breath. Like continuously, while you satisfy the left's needs, the one response which you can anticipate is that they up the ante. If I have been Romney, I would not have replied at all. It is pointless.

    I know someone that knows someone that claims to know something sounds sort of like a rumor you'd hear on the kindergarten playground, not from a member of Congress.

    Funny how the IRS seems to have no issue with Romney but have found something like 23 obama officials who have tax issues. Is the IRS bias, why would they support Romney and not reveal his tax indiscretions as they have with obamas people?

    Reid has lost his mind. Libtards, the burden of proof is on Reid. Fact is Reid refuses to show anyone his tax returns. 0bama paid millions to seal his records.

    It is a concerted and coordinated effort by team "Obama" to deflect attention away from the presidents's record on the economy. It underscores how divided the nation is and how far down into the gutter the president is willing to go to get re-elected. "I've got his hope and change!"

    I think Reid is a political hack who should retire before he embarrasses himself more.

    I think Romney paid a low tax rate.

    I think Reid's imaginary friend and obama's imaginary girlfriend are the same person.

    He's trying to sway the feeble minded.
