Mitt Romney is being forced to revise his federal ethics forms after it was
pointed out that he had omitted several offshore accounts held in
Switzerland, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Luxembourg and Ireland.
Interest from the accounts was listed on Romney¹s tax return which he
released on Tuesday, but was missing from his financial disclosure forms
that he filed with the Federal Election Commission last summer.
The former Massachusetts governor’s campaign admitted what it described as “trivial” and “a minor discrepancy” and said the disclosure would be
amended, reported the Los Angeles Times .
The campaign said it was making “some minor technical amendments” to the
multi-millionaire’s financial disclosure. It said the changes will not alter
the overall picture of his finances.
The Times says it discovered at least 23 funds and partnerships that were
listed on Romney’s tax returns that were not included in his disclosure
filings. Half of them were held in what the paper called “low-tax foreign
countries such as Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and Luxembourg.”

Funny how when it is Romney making the error it is always minor. If someone else makes the same error it is a major deal.
I wish Mitt would just go away and never come back.

Nice to see Gov. Romney on the hot seat.
Now put Newt, former Speaker of the House who was kicked out because of his ethics violations, on the same hotseat: member of CFR – one world government org, wants constitution thrown out (in one of his books), voted to increase national debt 9 times, supported bailouts, supported TARP, –
Then do the same for big government Rick –
And we have the only constitutional conservative candidate, Dr. Ron Paul. He will win if we vote for him.

Yes, Gingrich has more baggage than all the candidates put together. What could be worse than taking bribes for selling weapons to our enemies. I don’t know if I should post here, but it’s out there on the Web and it’s the FBI documents that Gingrich is claiming you shouldn’t see because it’s not supposed to be public knowledge. If there ever was a crooked crook, it’s Gingrich. He’s pocketed more money than any of us will ever know about, because he’s probably got his finances buried away in some Foreign Land Mine on some Foreign Island. I don’t know how he hides everything, but if Romney’s finances don’t quite jive, don’t sweat it, neither do Gingrich’s. It’s Newt/Romney, except I think the Newt part of it is even more crooked than the Romney Mittens.

I’m afraid that Ron Paul won’t win because the powers that be won’t let him. I’ve got several investigative reports claiming there was a big discrepancy in Iowa in 6 to 8 counties and that the election cannot be certified because of this (and does anyone care???). The South Carolina elections were even more fradulent, with everything kept secret and away from the public eye, until they said “OK, Gingrich won and Romney got second.” Here’s something good to read: http://www.scribd.com/doc/58987915/FBI-Gingrich-Investigation and http://www.worldaffairsbrief.com/ and http://www.examiner.com/conspiracy-in-denver/iowa-vote-fraud-official HMMMMMMMMM!
