come on Ann


"We have been very transparent to what's legally required of us," Ann Romney told reporter Natalie Morales, "There's going to be no more tax releases given." Ann Romney said that releasing more details on the family's taxes would merely give the Obama campaign "more ammunition." (Huffington Post).
Come on Ann, your husband (who as I recall did not really have a great audience of supporters urging him to run for president) wants to be the leader of the greatest nation on Earth and his transparency is based only on what is legal. Come on Ann, why would the Obama campaign have anything to discuss if in fact the items, calculations and figures in all of your previous tax returns were above reproach? Come on Ann, you really think the man running for the presidency of this nation can be respected when all he wants to do is run from his past?
Be braver Ann then your husband, (be that little smart savvy woman behind the man your handlers so want us to believe you are) and encourage your hubby to be that Mormon who understands being honest is God’s way. Be the good wife and share your Church of Latter Day Saints upbringing that states honesty is the best policy. Be a bigger woman then your husband is a big man and level with the Americans that whatever you did, however you did and what ever the consequences you will stand by the past, and honor the fruit of your labor.
Bull shit smells even when it wafts off the body of a grand dame such as you. Bull shit has a lingering odor of distrust and misuse of trust when lies, excuses, innuendo are used as stand ins for the facts. If you and your husband made tons of money legally, decided to find legal ways not pay your fair share of taxes, used legal means to shift your finances offshore, just tell all of us it happened. Why run away from the truth, Ann and cover it up with, well with lies? If it is legal and you decided at the time it was wise for your own financial future, share your story. Come on Ann, don’t tell us that all the facts about your tax returns are on the up and up, and that being honest about them will bite you in the ass.
You once said it was your turn to be President and First Lady. If it is your turn to make policy, lead this nation, approve or veto’s laws governing all of us, why can’t you and your hubby let all of us discover some of your past? you want to dictate our future, but we can’t delve into your past?
Sadly because the current President is black, has a foreign sounding name, enjoys the company of minorities, respects women as equals many biased and bigoted Americans don’t like him. These people will most likely vote for your husband, a man who can not answer word one about his religion, his days in government, his successes and failures at Bain, and his, as you so proudly state, legal handling of his taxes. Ah vote for the lesser of two evils as many of these hate filled people suggest.
You and your hubby may have participated in legal actions, but so far neither you or your husband have demonstrated anything close to a moral response to your past. If it was right then why isn’t it right now?
Come on Ann, take that self placed chip off your millionaire shoulder and level with us. Be proud of your past, and if you are not proud of it why the hell did you do it in the first place? Come on Ann...
