Many tax-paying Americans feel that it is fundamentally wrong for someone of great wealth to pay less a percentage of their income in the form of income taxes than someone earning less than $200,000. The most I ever earned in the US was $7200 one year, and I paid a higher percentage of this income than Mitt Ronmey on his $21 million. He HAS to keep stalling and get off this issue ................

Where are Pres. Obama's college transcripts?????? That is of far greater importance than how Mitt Romney managed to earn so much and pay a smaller percentage of tax than a majority of Americans.

You can think of it as anything you like. It is not income tax.

It looks like a skunk and it smells like a skunk. You can paint on all the red or blue pinstripes you want, it is still a skunk.

The Koch brothers had better get some more of their negative ads on the air if they don't want this ad to stick.

Ron Paul delegates set to strike deal with RNC – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs

This is like being given better deck chairs on the Titanic. They should have held off with letting Ron Paul, not Rand Paul, speak.

Here's the Republican Party's message to women in 2012: No choice. No exceptions.

After 48 straight hours of Republicans falling all over each other calling for Rep. Todd Akin to rescind his ridiculous, ignorant-of-basic-biological-functions comments about rape and abortion, their party just voted to embrace Akin's position by including a constitutional ban on all abortions -- even in cases of rape or incest -- in their 2012 platform.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are now, incredibly, saying they don't agree with the policies of the party whose nomination they're about to accept, but guess what? The Los Angeles Times reported yesterday that the platform was, and I quote, "written at the direction of Romney's campaign."

I think that now it the time to really ramp up the demands to see Pres. Obama's college transcripts. Weeks of these demands will bury issues like this, and Romney's tax returns to the back pages. We shall see.

Todd Akin, and today Rep Steve King are only guilty of saying what most Republicans lawmakers think but are usually smart enough not to say plainly and in public.

Just keep digging that hole GOP, just keep digging.
