Even Republicans Agree: Mitt Romney is Hiding Something

Voice Over: More and more Republicans agree that Mitt Romney has not released more tax returns because he has something to hide.

Matthew Dowd: There's obviously something there, because if there was nothing there he would say have at it.

Rick Tyler: There's clearly a problem with the tax returns otherwise he would release, you know, ten years of tax returns.

Larry Flynt offering $1 million for Romney's financial records

Reporter

The Ticket – 57 mins ago
Hustler magazine founder Larry Flynt (wikicommons)
Hustler magazine publisher, and self-described free speech activist, Larry Flynt is offering $1 million for anyone who will provide him with Mitt Romney's financial records.

Flynt, 69, has purchased full-page ads in Sunday's Washington Post and Tuesday's, September 11 issue of USA Today.

"What is he hiding?" the ad text reads, "Maybe, now, we'll find out." The ad also includes a phone number and email address where anyone with information can contact Flynt.

A press release credited to Hustler says Flynt is "offering up to a million dollars in cash for documented evidence concerning Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's unreleased tax returns and/or details of his offshore assets, bank accounts and business partnerships."

Romney has only agreed to release his 2010 and 2011 tax returns so far.

On Friday, the Secret Service and FBI announced they are investigating an anonymous letter from an individual claiming to have stolen copies of Romney's tax returns. The letter reportedly demands $1 million in hard to trace Internet funds. Romney's accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, has denied that any records were stolen.
Flynt, a registered Democrat who once ran for president as a Republican, is no stranger to politics. And he's certainly no stranger to offering $1 million rewards for his various political interests. He's made similar offers against everything including a request to debunk the Warren Commission's investigation into the death of John F. Kennedy to most recently asking for evidence supporting his belief that Texas Governor Rick Perry was guilty of infidelity.

Back during the impeachment trial of then-President Bill Clinton, Flynt made a $1 million offer for evidence of marital infidelity against Republican members of the House who were leading the trial against Clinton. That offer led to incoming House Speaker Bob Livingston resigning after evidence of his own affair was publicly revealed.

In 2007, Flynt offered a financial reward for evidence showing that Louisiana Republican Senator David Vitter had cheated on his wife. Vitter has remained in office, even after the evidence was made public.
Back in 2003, Flynt was one of several atypical candidates to run in the California gubernatorial recall election to replace Democrat Gray Davis.

Flynt has also run into some political troubles of his own recently. In August, California's Fair Political Practices Commission accused him of failing to report campaign donations in a timely manner that Flynt made to a state assembly candidate. However, Flynt was not fined by the agency since he filed his report immediately after the complaint was issued.

 
 
 
Obama calls on Romney to release more tax returns
 

President Obama called on Republican Mitt Romney to release his latest tax return. SOUNDBITE: U.S. President Barack Obama saying: "I don't think we are being mean by asking you to do what every other presidential candidate has done.?" Romney has released his 2010 tax return but not his 2011 returns. SOUNDBITE: U.S. President Barack Obama saying: "The American people have assumed that if you want to be President of the United States that your life is an open book when it comes to things like your finances. Campaigning with running mate Paul Ryan in New Hampshire, Romney fired back. SOUNDBITE: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney saying: "It seems that the first victim of an Obama campaign is the truth." He said Democrats are focusing on his taxes because they don't want to address concerns about the economy. He also accused the White House of misrepresenting his party's tax plans. SOUNDBITE: Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney saying: "We're not going to raise taxes that slows down growth and kills jobs. We're going to get this economy going and Mr. President stop saying something that is not the truth." The Obama campaign has said that Romney's calls to cut taxes on capital gains would shift the burden to middle-income Americans. President Obama says it isn't 'mean' to ask Republican rival to release more tax returns while Romney accused the White House of misrepresenting details about his party's plans.

 

 

Joe Biden challenges press to 'fact check me'

By Arlette Saenz | ABC OTUS News – 7 hrs ago

          ZANESVILLE, Ohio - Vice President Joe Biden extended an invitation to the media to check the veracity of his claims on Medicare, telling the press to "fact check me."

          "What they're proposing, and this is a fact. I say to the press, 'Fact check me,'" Biden said at Zane Grey Elementary School in Zanesville. "What they're proposing will actually cause the Medicare trust fund that pays for the benefits when you go to the hospital, the doctor, etc., to run out of money, a sufficient amount of money by 2016. That's when it would hit the wall."

          Republicans, he said, are "not actually preserving Medicare. They're for a whole new plan, vouchercare."

          "They're going to give you a voucher, which is essentially a coupon, and it's going to be worth x-amount of dollars, and they're going to say to your mom, 'Mom go out there in that insurance market and bargain for the best deal you can get, including if you want to buy Medicare,'" he said. "If you're going to cost more to get the benefits you're now getting, they say, 'Mom go borrow it somewhere.' No, I'm serious, you've got to take it out of your pocket. Ladies and gentleman, that's not fair and that's not truthful. What they've told you is not on the level."

          In his convention speech Thursday night, Biden said the Medicare trust fund would go bankrupt by 2016, an assertion multiple news outlets deemed as misleading. As the Washington Post reported, Medicare Part A includes a trust fund "that always seems to be on the edge of running dry, even though it is funded by a payroll tax paid by employees and employers. But even so, the payroll tax could pay most estimated expenditures for decades."

          The vice president jabbed at Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, highlighting a comment made by Romney pollster Neil Newhouse, who said in an ABC News/Yahoo! News breakfast in Tampa last month, "We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact checkers."
          "By the way, it's amazing how they don't like to be fact checked, right? Isn't that amazing? 'We're not going to be bound by those fact checkers,'" Biden said of the Romney campaign.
          Biden said he was eager to discuss the policies Republicans did not mention at their convention, telling the crowd, "They don't have the courage to tell you what these new policies are. I do. I've got the courage to tell you. I'm anxious to tell you."
          "If you'd been dropped down from Mars and had been in a time capsule in the last hundred years, and you got dropped down from Mars and turned on the convention, and you heard him talking about Medicare, you'd think that really, you'd think they really cared about it. You'd think it's something they thought of," he said.
          The vice president also accused Republicans of not acknowledging their own role in increasing the national debt.
          "They got that clock running back there. They don't know that they had a whole bunch of Republicans running to get that clock moving the previous 20 years," Biden said to laughter from the crowd. "But they're right. They're right about one thing; we got to deal with the debt. They're right, but they talked about this great urgency to get it under control. The need to act now but not once, not one single time did they tell you that they rejected every single solitary offer. [Vice presidential candidate Paul] Ryan, Romney, the Republican congress rejected every effort to reduce the debt in the last four years."
          Biden, who is campaigning in Ohio through the weekend and again on Wednesday, said that since he arrived in the Buckeye state, he has seen three television ads bashing President Obama, and said "it takes a lot of chutzpah" to run ads claiming Obama moved jobs out of the United States.
          Biden has increased his references to the military in the past week after Romney failed to mention the troops in his speech at the Republican National convention. In Zanesville, Biden recounted the story of traveling back to the United States from Iraq with a "fallen angel" aboard his plane.

          "I was leaving Iraq and I was in a C-17, it's a magnificent cargo aircraft, and before I got to the plane, General Odierno, one of our great generals, said 'Mr. Vice President, there will be a fallen angel going home with you.' I walked in and strapped in the cargo space, a coffin and a flag. In Iraq and Afghanistan they refer to those heroes we lost as the fallen angels," he said.

          The vice president was introduced by former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, whose convention speech Biden praised.

          "He made it clear: Santa Claus is rooting for us to win," Biden said.

           
           

          Romney Slams GOP Leaders - Including His Own VP Nominee - for 2011 Budget Deal

          By Jake Tapper | ABC OTUS News – 2 hrs 30 mins ago
          Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., as chair of the House Budget Committee, was part of the team that signed off on the budget deal with the White House, mandating immediate spending cuts, creating a "Super-committee" tasked to finding $1.5 trillion in further deficit rediction, and raising a self-imposed sword of Damocles - $1.2 trillion in cuts to the Pentagon and domestic spending that few in Congress wanted - if the Super-committee failed.

          Writing at the National Review Online at the time, Ryan said the bill was a "reasonable, responsible effort to cut government spending, avoid a default, and help create a better environment for job creation."

          But today Mitt Romney said Ryan, the man he picked as his running mate on the Republican presidential ticket, and other House GOP leaders made a "big mistake" in agreeing to that deal, which was part of the summer 2011 negotiations over raising the debt ceiling.

          Romney said the $1.2 in mandated cuts was "an extraordinary miscalculation in the wrong direction."

          "Republican leaders agreed to that deal to the extend the debt ceiling," NBC's David Gregory reminded Romney.

          "And that's a big mistake," Romney said. "I thought it was a mistake on the part of the White House to propose it. I think it was a mistake for Republicans to go along with it."
