Comments on: People in Glass Houses? http://politicalirony.com/2012/08/21/people-in-glass-houses/ Humor and Hypocrisy from the World of Politics Thu, 23 May 2013 13:39:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Arthanyel http://politicalirony.com/2012/08/21/people-in-glass-houses/#comment-208641 Arthanyel Tue, 21 Aug 2012 22:07:38 +0000 http://politicalirony.com/?p=12005#comment-208641 IK – Admittedly, it is a partisan source. Rachel Maddow show, with video clips and backup. Summary of entire story here: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/08/04/1116592/-Rachel-Maddow-Mitt-Romney-has-a-tell

I don’t normally like to use partisan sources as a reference, but sometimes only one side is willing to cover a story.

Based on that history, we simply cannot trust his word about his federal taxes – we need to see his returns.

IL-08, my opinion has always been that Romney should release more tax returns, like his papa taught. Is he ashamed of being rich?

In the Mormon religious fantasy, this would cost him dearly, making him ineligible for the Celestial Kingdom (whatever that is).
