Mitt Romney flies to UK, immediately starts insulting the country

Agree with Mondale84 on this one. Romney has had a millionthousand small gaffes that "won't sway voters." Except when you have a millionthousand of them, they actually do start to add up.

Unless, of course, Romney makes himself look like an unapologetic truth-teller.

An unapologetic truth-teller would follow his father's example and release twelve years worth of tax records.  So while Romney may avoid taking damage from these microgaffes, he won't be able to make lemonade out of these lemons.

At least 30% of this country is far left. As far as his tax records what does anyone care? Are you suggesting without basis for your claim that he cheated on his taxes? Anyone can say that about anyone. I can demand my neighbor release his tax records so I know he's paying his fair share for the lawn service. Yes I know my neighbor isn't running for president but what's the point of releasing your tax records when you're a wealthy Republican? I mean really, the media is just going to smother you with attacks of being so wealthy that you're out of touch with the average voter. It's been done since the 30's. Do you really want to know what Romney paid in the last 12 years or do you just want to make a political point? I don't think his father would be happy either to know that the left in this country is using the Romney family to divide this great nation. As for making lemonade out of lemons, do what you want but if the left had their way, your lemonade stand would be confiscated by police for not filing the proper tax forms.

Where did I say he cheated?  There probably are a few minor things that are potentially embarrassing, but I would be surprised if he cheated on his taxes

Besides, you need to calm down and stop embarrassing yourself by making up strawman arguments and putting them in other people's mouths.  If you'd been around more than a few days you'd realize I'm no Obama supporter.  I'm an independent who is disappointed in both parties, tho the Republicans have been doing their best this campaign season to be more disappointing, which is why my comments of late have been more anti-Republican than anti-Democrat of late.  They've been giving me more material to work with, especially this week.

Sigh.  At this point Romney probably won't gain (or lose) anything by releasing additional tax-records.  He probably could have avoid all this by releasing a few extra years back in 2011 before they predictably became an issue, but its too late now.

Romney's central problem on both the tax return issue and with Bain is that he comes across as fearful and defensive on these trivial points.  He acts as if he is ashamed of the money he has made and how he made it.

Something about Hunstman just screams "Whoville" though.

Mainly that when you ask most people about Huntsman they say "Who?"

I don't quite see it that way but I'll agree to disagree. I don't know a single voter who will change their vote because Romney didn't release more tax returns.

Don't sweat it Derek.
