Liberals and Romney's taxes

I just want to make sure I understand this correctly, make sure I haven't missed anything, so if I'm wrong, I want the liberals here to correct me.

Liberals are upset about Romney's low effective tax rate for the 2 years' of returns he released. And they are really upset about what his tax rate may have been in prior years, because the thought it that if he won't release those records, he must therefore be hiding something, correct?

OK...

So, when did liberals establish this conviction over taxes? I don't remember liberals being this concerned when Obama nominated Tim Geithner to be Treasury Secretary. The guy who now runs the Treasury, didn't want to pay "his fair share", and wouldn't pay "his fair share" until he was forced to do so by the IRS. I never heard liberals express any concern over this.

So, from where do liberals get the nerve to hold Romney's feet to the fire? Is the IRS saying they had tax disputes with Romney, like they did with Geithner? Is there one shred of evidence to suggest that Romney broke any laws?

This is what liberals do. Instead of debating the merits of Romney's ideas (which liberals will do almost anything to avoid), they must demonize him. Instead of trying to convice us why we shouldn't be concerned that every liberal state in the nation is on the verge of bankruptcy, liberals are more concerned that Romney is "out of touch" because his wife wears a $900 shirt. (Yet, for some reason, those same liberals don't care that Michelle Obama wore a $6800 jacket recently.)

Once again, liberals show that they have zero shame, and that their hypocrisy knows no bounds...
