Does anyone think Harry Reid is anything more than a sock puppet for Obama?

In my opinion Obama sent Reid out to attack Romney because Reid is a Mormon. This inoculates Reid from the counter-charge of anti-Mormon bigotry. Of course there have been plenty of politicians who are strongly against the religion they claim to profess. The Kennedy family comes to mind.

Worry not. Ayn Rand’s “job creators” and “producers” will deal with those “parasites.”

But now the government will fine and arrest the ones who can’t afford to purchase the mandated Obamacare health plan. I don’t think anybody wanted that. Did you see how the article says that the Obama administration will disqualify families from government subsidization. It is basing qualification upon a single persons health insurance policy costing 10% of household income and not the cost the households family medical plan.

Uh mp, when you accuse someone, it falls on you to back up those accusations. The accused does not have to prove his/her innocence.
So, let’s say I was to tell people on this blog that an anonymous source has informed me that you are a secret agent of the Koch Bros. and are involved in the distribution of the book “Atlas Shrugged” as part of a plot for world conquest, then it would fall on me to prove it. You wouldn’t be obligated to do a darned thing.
Romney is under no obligation to prove anything.
Got it??

mp,
Other than it being obvious that you are easily entertained, the fact remains it falls on Reid to prove the charges.

President Obama probably wants Mr. Romney to produce more tax returns so that the president can continue his story about how disgustingly rich Mr. Romney is and how he does not pay enough taxes (even if he has paid everything that the law requires him to). President Obama wants to ignore Mr. Romney’s story about how disgustingly irresponsible the president has been. Of course, for this very same reason, Mr. Romney does not want to show more tax returns.
If Mr. Romney gives in to Mr. Reid, the Democrats will not be satisfied. They will only lead Mr. Romney down more rabbit trails. Distraction at all costs.
Riches are spiritually dangerous but not evil, folks (unless they are ill-gotten). Envy, however, is a vice, and the Democrats are often fanning it into flame.

Hi Jon,
Very good point. My thought is that Obama wants nothing more than to find something in Romney’s taxes to destroy him with. Its been B.O.’s past M.O. Reid is just his sock puppet.
Romney would be a fool to give in to this ploy.
