[EL] Mitt's returns & Obama's records

[Joe La Rue]

May I please remind everyone here that I didn't start this; Rick posted a
"newstory" (if it's fair to call it that) suggesting that Mr. Romney does
not want to release his tax records because perhaps he committed tax fraud.
I think that what I posted has as much relevance as what Rick posted. Or,
put another way, what I posted is as irrelevant as what Rick posted.

Can any of you *honestly* disagree?
Joe
