us. but the more we release, the more we get attacked and questioned and pushed. so we have done what s legally required and there s going to be no more tax releases given. it s because you ll continue to face more questions? it will just give them more ammunition. i know it ain t pretty, mitt, but that s how you stone wall. and yes, she shouldn t have used the word ammunition since that s what comes out of smoking guns and your tax returns really are the beg smoking guns of this campaign, but she didn t make the stupid amateur mistake you did by mentioning harry reid s accusation that you ve paid no income taxes at all for many years. at least ann had the good sense not to remind people about that. harry reid issued this statement today after mitt romney s unprovable claim that even if true is embarrassing enough that he hasn t paid less than 13% in
on msnbc. paul ryan weighed in on the president s comments. he had to say about this, i think you re going to hear more of these things as we go on because they have a terrible record that they can t run on. they are going to kind of sink these campaigns to these low levels to try to cause fear and envy. are we going to watch that? they don t have a record to run on and when somebody jumps on the words like the jumped on vice president biden in the chains remarks and starts a tit for back and forth and mitt romney coming back and saying that the president is angry and it s a hate-filled campaign. of course, the record that they have run on, they ve been president and vice president for four years. one can assess whether it s a good record or bad record but there s obviously a record here. i think beyond that part of what we re seeing and the tit for tat on one piece of language rather
to the party? you crazy, yes, that puts him in the crazy column. probably not the way to go. and that s what grabs headlines, but that s obviously not the policy for the republican party. that s his point of view that happens to get a lot of attention, especially in arizona. all right, guys. thanks for joining me. stay with us. much more ahead. we have been very trans parent to what s legally required of us, but the more we release, the more we get attacked. the more we get question, the more we get pushed. so we have done what s legally required. there s going to be no more tax releases given.

us. but the more we release, the more we get attacked, the more we get questioned, the more we get pushed. so we have done what s legally required and there s going to be no more tax releases. there ll be no more. there s a statement from the candidate s wife. bob shrum, an interesting choice she would make that statement. no more releases, period. three things. one that s a peculiar defense, saying the more we release the more we get attacked. so there s obviously something in those tax returns. number two, romney says well i paid 13.6% every year. then he should release the tax returns. that would put this issue to rest. people think he paid 1% or nothing. number three, i don t want to use this word, but i think he could be lying because he was lying in that medicare presentation. the fact is the president s plan doesn t cut $716 billion in medicare benefits. it cut savings and it has savings and efficiencies and cuts waste. and paul ryan had those in his
to this lower tax rate. there are lots of things he could be doing that would make you a little squeamish. i have to say, the last poll i saw said that about 63% of american voters want see more tax returns and finally, every time he opens his mouth to talk about this, he sounds more and more entitled. i mean, calling those 60% of americans small minded and ann romney s tantrums last night. i mean i want to show it. last night, ann romney made clear she and mitt will not release more tax returns. here s what she said. the more we release, the the more we get attacked. the more we get questioned, pushed. and so, we have done what s legally required and there s going to be no more tax releases. is she not correct as far as she took the argument?
