“— On the golf course, Clinton has an incredibly difficult time playing his ball where it lies. According to close observers (Tiger Woods among them), Clinton exhibits questionable math when he tallies his scorecard.”

Man … I am certain that this is a federal offense that not one single republiCON has ever been guilty of. You clowns provide me with unlimited amounts of laughter. :) I would say thank you, but I think the more charitable thing to do is to ask to learn to think before you post.

HUD — Thats just the way it’s done… You keep your own for YOUR records… But for PUBLIC disclosure, the IRS has to release them…
=================================================

Stupidity, you can’t dream this shit up if you are normal. Takes 1/2 a brain or less.

Oh, and the 45 worked fine! Mighty fine!

Funny how the exact same thing happened in the Bush Sr. administration. The George HW Bush was trying to dig up dirt on Clinton by looking at his passport record, now it happens with Bush Jr.

Logically thought about, there would be zero reason for the White House to want to know the passport files in the State Department of Obama, Hillary and McCain.

More than likely, it was just a dufus act by a single individual.

Or, it was an act by an individual who wished to make some money on three political candidates

Looks like my guess was somewhat accurate. :)

Well, this ia an unexpected twist: the company responsible for the last breach is run by an Obama advisor, who gave $2300 to his campaign.

By the way, I stand by my criticism of outsourcing. While it’s appropriate in some limited circumstances, more often than not it’s bad for both the work and the employees, and is also a nice way to evade accountability.

“For the past 16 years, The Analysis Corporation (TAC) has provided invaluable service to the U.S. Government’s national security effort.”

i think the term “invaluable” should only apply to a corp that can predict events like…
maybe 9-11 for instance.

you know, something useful to our country.

oh, nevermind.
bush wouldn’t pay attention to it if they did.

Chas., do me a favor. Call the IRS and tell them you need a past copy of your tax return. Bet you do not get a copy of what you turned in.

They do not keep the form you filed.
======================================

OK… So, if they dont send me a copy of what I sent in, then where is my signature to prove it’s MINE??

You just want an outcome on this that works for your false premise…

In FACT, I have requested copies of my returns in past years… And IRS DOES send me what I request… (as in for a home loan??) So, you got anything to back up your spinning top???

I said Obama don’t like the white people.

Yes, you did say that. So what? You somehow managed to get this from Obama’s speech? I watched the whole thing, and also read the transcript, long before you posted that rant. He said nothing that even hinted at that.

Okay, I strongly suspect I’ll regret this, but can you produce a single statement out of the man’s mouth that proves what you’re saying? After all, “the white people” includes his own mother.

I fully expect I will get another bald assertion of the form it’s-true-because-I-ssy-it-is in response, proving nothing.

“That is what i Know.”

And you know this HOW? He told you? You channeled it? Extrasensory perception?

And, by the way, capitalize the “I” not the “K.”

“I said that Obama don’t like the white people.”

In additional to being grammatically incorrect, that statement is just stupid.

Barack Obama is half white.

You can call Barack many things, but I doubt that he is self-hating.

Rage,
Whats wrong with you. I said Obama don’t like the white people. It will “not” be America if Obama gets in there. Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Econ - agreed - also I can just get another copy printed if need be.

A photocopy of the returns with a signed letter, stating that the returns are a true representation of what was filed with the IRS, and a promise to provide any documents related to any, future amendments, is usually what is required.

Chas
When the bank wants me to give them a copy of my tax return, for a loan, I give them a copy of what I have in MY files.
The IRS will not honor a release to a 3rd Party, other than a law enforcement agency, to the best of my knowledge.
The Clintons are being asked to release a COPY of their returns.
The IRS is not in the habit of “notorizing” or “certifying” tax returns for delivery to a third party.

And then, this… Once FILED… to whom do the Tax Returns belong??? NOT the copies… but the Returns???

By: Chas.

Chas. — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 18:43:41 +0000

Yea, sure, right Econ — And what will YOU and your ilk say when she DOES release them?? You know damned well…. You will say she CHANGED them…. THAT is why she will have them released by IRS, you dumb a$$… Because of people like YOU and AMWAY….

And for that matter, where is a LAW that requires her to release tax returns??? Huh???

WSClark–

Good point, though you’re two trillion shy of the mark. It’s a three trillion dollar war.

“The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost Of The Iraq Conflict,” by Joseph E. Stiglitz and Linda J. Bilmes.

Recommended reading for those who want to argue persuasively in the coming election. The writers bring the costs sharply into focus.
