Pointless short diary.
This is my fantasy attack I would love to hear from the President during the last debate.
Everyone probably knows I'm a big basketball fan, a big sports fan in general, one of my heroes is the legendary coach of UCLA John Wooden who said once, "The true test of a man's character is what he does when no one is watching." The Governor did not think anyone was watching when he called half of Americans 'victims'. Now that everyone is watching he wants to pretend he didn't mean it, but listen to the passion and anger in his voice when he complains that people think they are ENTITLED to food. It is instructive. It really made me heartsick to hear those comments. We are all in this together, we all need to do our fair share, but when you allow yourself to demonize and hate your fellow citizens, true compromise becomes impossible.
The Governor did not think anyone would be watching when he moved heaven and earth to reduce his tax burden to a level below 14%. Most people who work hard for a paycheck pay more percentage-wise. People come home with aching feet, arthritic hands and sore backs, and they are paying more than the Governor. Its not fair, Mr. Romney knows its not fair, and didn't want voters to know the truth.
He still is hiding the vast majority of his tax returns. Its a question of character and accountability. Many polls by wide margins show voters want Governor Romney to release the same amount of tax returns as I have. The voters are asking 'show us what you did when no one was watching. Show us your character.'
