Reid Reported That a Bain Investor Told Him Romney Paid No Taxes for 10 Yrs

Head, meet stonewall of ignorance and bliss. Can't make a legitimate point so resorts to what he thinks will sound clever and witty with a dose of sarcasm. Another hit and a miss.

 

Really! Would you care to post the dates of those 114° plus days?

Thursday the high temperature in Oklahoma City could be near 114 degrees, a day after the temperature at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City hit 112 degrees, the National Weather Service reports.
If the temperature hits 114 degrees it will break an all-time Oklahoma City record 113 set in 1936 during the Dust Bowl.

 

Like I said, you need to fact check your posts. You said nothing about OKC previously. Try reading it again;

 

Just where DID you go to school?


meteorology |ˌmētēəˈräləjē|noun
the branch of science concerned with the processes and phenomena of the atmosphere, esp. as a means of forecasting the weather.• the climate and weather of a region.DERIVATIVESmeteorological |-rəˈläjikəl|adjective,meteorologically |-rəˈläjik(ə)lē|adverbORIGIN early 17th cent.: from Greek meteōrologia, from meteōron ‘of the atmosphere’ (see meteor) .

 

At a liberal college, of course.

BTW, it only got to 112° today. Apparently there is an impending ice age.

 

It would be ridiculous if he paid no taxes. Just like it is ridiculous that people actually get back more than they paid in. Our whole tax system is ridiculous from top to bottom and our financial woes will never be fixed until it is scrapped and replaced with a simpler system.

But go ahead and keep believing that we can fix everything just by taxing the 'rich'. Even though the numbers never add up to much of a dent in our deficit, let alone our debt. Elementary school math has never been a match for a good talking point.

 

Finally, a simple answer. Thank you sir! See guys, that is not so hard if you're not fighting a RW narrative continually droning in your head. Just allow yourself to say "what if".

They are such total tools.

 

Does that mean that you have figured out the difference between a city and a state? Or better, between a meteorologist and a TV personality?

 

I prefer not to deal in "what ifs" or "conjectures". I prefer cold, hard, irrefutable facts not some 'he said, she said' hearsay. But, the National Enquirer needs its supporters too, so feel free to support their level of "journalism" all you want. Oh, and IS a meteorologist simply a TV personality, after all?

 

I prefer to deal with topics, not tangents, which is why I generally ignore you guys. You can't beat me on the facts so you run for tangential issues and pointless side tracks. The only reason you even both to post in my threads is to crap in the pool. That is all RW'ers do in this forum and reasonable people either ignore you three or just stop posting and you get to listen to the echo chamber in your heads which is all you do anyway. What else can tools do? So sad.

 

OMG! Facts? You would not know one if it bit you in your nose. Examples;
"You've never experienced a 114 degree summer day in your state."
"we didn't have winter last year."
"What follows is unfounded, though not implausible, speculation."
Meteorologists are just TV personalities."
"Climatologists are literally more in agreement on the issue of global warming than any other subject in the field of climatology."
"They don’t want to be put out of business even if it means killing the planet."

And those are just from this thread.

OK! You want us to give a "what if" - what if you actually read the facts and agreed with them?

Yet when I posted and referenced my sources, all you did was change the topic. I posted the facts and you did what?

 

RLM, remember who you're dealing with here. Our little friend consistently refuses to answer simple, honest questions posed to him, but expects us to answer hypothetical questions. He expects us to play "what if" scenarios and guessing games. Well... good luck with that, Little Joe. You might get some of your playmates in Leprechaun Land to answer your funny questions, but not here in the real world. Why don't you try asking some valid questions once in a while? Or, better yet, try answering some?

 

I guess you idiots are all that come here anymore. How sad for the idea of real conversation.

 

Conversation? How about this one. What are the odds that Reid will get sued for making such a statement?

 

Hey, that's a good hypothetical, "what if" question! Yeah, let's play that game! Little Joe can go first...

Oh, and here's another one: "What if Obama decides to imprison US Citizens under authority of the NDAA"?

You've got me started now. Here's one: "What if our leaders had read the Obamacare bill before passing it"? (That's a great "what if" question).

I can't stop: "What if Obama took military action in Syria (like he did in Libya). Would Syrian lives have been saved"?

 

Yesterday, on Fox News Sunday, David Axelrod was asked point blank if the BO admin had any concrete evidence Romney didn't pay taxes as Harry Reid claimed...he refused to answer! Can you say politically manufactured controversy?

 

...echo....echo...echo...

 

Romney calls on Reid to reveal source as fact-check sites challenge tax claim​

August 7, 2012​

​

Mitt Romney called on Harry Reid Tuesday to reveal the source for his claim that the Republican presidential candidate has not paid taxes for 10 years, stepping up pressure as two major fact-check sites ruled Reid had no basis for the "incendiary" allegation. ​

​

Romney, in an interview with Fox News, said he doesn't believe Reid has a credible source but urged the Senate Democratic leader to reveal who it is. ​

"I don't really believe that he's got any kind of a credible source," Romney said. "I don't know who gave him this line of reasoning, whether it came from the White House or the DNC or a staffer, but he ought to say where it came from, and then we can find out whether that person has any credibility. I know they don't." ​

​

He said Reid also has "lost a lot of credibility." ​

​

Romney's latest comments came as two major fact-check sites knocked down Reid's comments, which the senator amplified by repeating them last week on the Senate floor. Reid has said his source is an investor with Romney's former venture capital company Bain. ​

​

But PolitiFact wrote that it is "far-fetched" to believe Romney paid no taxes for 10 years. Further, the article stated the obvious -- "Reid has produced no evidence to back up his claim other than attribution to a shadowy anonymous source." ​

PolitiFact concluded: "Reid has made an extreme claim with nothing solid to back it up." They gave the accusation a "Pants on Fire!" rating. ​

​

The Washington Post's fact-check column, too, gave Reid's remark the equivalent of a "Pants on Fire!" score. The Post gave it "four Pinocchios," which is the newspaper's score for a claim they knock down. ​

​

"Without seeing Romney's taxes, we cannot definitively prove Reid incorrect. But tax experts say his claim is highly improbable. Reid also has made no effort to explain why his unnamed source would be credible. So, in the absence of more information, it appears he has no basis to make his incendiary claim," the Post wrote. ​

​

The White House, meanwhile, has distanced itself from Reid's remark. Press Secretary Jay Carney said Monday the Senate Democratic leader "speaks for himself." ​

​

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, though, has defended Reid. She told The Huffington Post that Reid made a "true" statement. ​

​

"Somebody told him. It is a fact," she said. ​

Like other Democratic officials, Pelosi said Romney can either prove or disprove the claim by releasing more tax returns.​

I think Romney could settle this issue in 5 minutes. He could release his taxes like everyone back to his father's time did. He has lied before about his taxes and had to retroactively file in Massachusetts after it was disclosed that he filed in another state and hadn't lived in the state long enough to qualify for the Governor's ballot. Why should anyone believe him at this point when he has lied before? He also lied about his time at Bain. He had to retroactively quit his job after claiming he wasn't at Bain during the time being scrutinized. He lies and lie and then tries to cover his lies with more lies.

WHAT IS HE HIDING?

 

Not paying taxes? Now who does that remind me of?
Lied? Don't start me on that one!
And he did not retroactively quit his job just because you need some propaganda!
