On Friday’s World News on ABC, correspondent Jonathan Karl informed viewers of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s unsubstantiated charge that Mitt Romney has not paid taxes in 10 years, with the ABC correspondent dismissing the accusation as “outrageous and apparently unfounded.”
Karl went on to note that Reid “offered not one shred of evidence, drawing ridicule from late night comedian Jon Stewart.”
As he theorized that Reid was trying to bait the GOP presidential candidate into releasing more of his tax returns, Karl then revisited the subject of Romney’s taxes and the GOP candidate’s refusal to tell ABC’s David Muir whether he had ever paid “lower than 13.9 percent.”
Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the Friday, August 3, World News on ABC:
JONATHAN KARL: Campaigning in Nevada, Romney also had to deal with a different set of numbers, the amount he pays in taxes.
MITT ROMNEY: I have paid taxes every year, and a lot of taxes, a lot of taxes.
KARL: He was responding to an outrageous and apparently unfounded allegation from Harry Reid, the top Democrat in the Senate.
HARRY REID, SENATE MAJORITY LEADER: The word is, he hasn’t paid any taxes for 10 years.

Romney should have his tax preparer(s) for the last ten years go before a notary public and swear under oath that Romney paid taxes for year(s), covering all ten. He should release the documents to the press with a demand for a public apology or a similar sworn under oath document by his (Reid's) source(s). I would add in my release if I were Romney, that lying to score political points is still lying.
Who's word? This twit, reid, needs to take the first exit he finds and get out of politics. What a disgrace he is!
This is such an idiotic smoke screen and the Democrap Sheeple can't see past it. Seriously if Romney hadn't paid any taxes or the information on his tax returns were wrong, Don't ya think the IRS would have already nailed him for it? Why is it that people who consider themselves "Democrats" can't see the Forest for the Trees… and that the Democrat leadership (Oblamo, Reid, and Piglosi) keeps throwing things like this up that is unfounded, uncorroborated, and just a plain old lie and the Dimwit Democrats fall for it everytime!!! You'd think that after the first 100 times they fall for such Political trickery they would wise up, and actually stop falling for this crap.
I think Old Man Treasonous Turncoat Lies Through His Green Teeth Reid is so desperately in fear of losing his power that he’d say anything against anyone who poses a threat to him and his “love of life” Oblowjob! He is a liar, a lying old man who is losing not only his credibility, but his mind in the process, along with his life………..he IS getting rather older now, isn’t he? Too old to hold the position he holds, and he’s scared that he is going to be put out to pasture, if his boss loses in November. And the word these days is “VOTE OUT ALL IN CUM BENTS!” So maybe this old poop, (for want of a “nice” word) is scared. Like Biden and Old McQuack, (thanks edward) and Piglousy, Botox Queen, Cankles Clinton, everytime they open that nasty hole in their faces, underneath their bent out of shape noses, they all say something so stupid that we are left wondering “HUH?” They haven’t got the brains between the lot of them to pour water out of a boot. Why they are in these high powered seats, positions is a never ending source of amazement to me, and many others I beleive. Americans need to do ourselves a big favor and vote them all out! Either that, or go to Washington, the Great Sewer in USA, and bodily throw them out!!!!! If voting doesn’t work, then force might be our only option.
