House minority leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), have been some of the most vocal voices that have called on Mitt Romney to release his tax returns.
In stunning examples of hypocrisy, though, Pelosi, Reid, and Wasserman-Schultz all refused to release their tax returns when asked by McClatchy Newspapers.
“The leader has filed a complete financial disclosure report as required by law that includes financial holdings, transactions and other personal information,” Pelosi spokesman Nadeam Elshami told McClatchy.
At a news conference, Wasserman Shultz said, “I file full financial disclosure required under the law” and refused to release her tax returns.
Reid also would not let McClatchy look at his tax returns.
In recent weeks, Pelosi has said Romney’s failure to release his tax returns makes him unfit to even be a Cabinet member while Reid said it made Romney unfit to be even a dogcatcher.
Leave it to the dems to make up new demons as they go along.
Romney must be one squeeky-clean individual!
I wonder how fast they will do a pull back on their demand to have ten years’ of returns public IF their dear Leader is against it?
They’ll keep giving you the BS that “They’re not running for President.” Then I ask them to show me the laws that say a Presidential candidate has to release tax returns but not the Senate Leader or whatever it is Pelosi is now.
End of story.
This is just one example of tyranny at work. In this case, the tyranny is perpetrated by an entire political party. Anyone wishing to join their party in DC must go through the gauntlet. And, of course, that gauntlet is rigged by the ones already in DC. And the gamemasters do not have to jump through the hoops that the political aspirators do.
This is how a country is run if one wanted to see one run under tyrannical rule.
And the sad part? The MSM, who are not obligated to protect any particular party, who has the freedom of speech, who are expected to do their jobs and report objectively, accurately, and without favorites, is failing miserably, and enabling the liberal/progressives to continue acting as tyrants towards the American people.
Transparency at its best.
I have an easy retort for Mr. Romney to respond, ‘I’ll release my tax records when Obama unseals all his papers’!
