"FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) fired back at Republicans accusing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) of lying about a Bain Capital investor telling him that Mitt Romney hadn't paid taxes in 10 years. They don’t know what they're talking about, Pelosi says.

"Harry Reid made a statement that is true. Somebody told him. It is a fact," Pelosi told The Huffington Post in a Sunday interview. "Whether he did or not can easily be disposed of: Mitt Romney can release his tax returns and show whether he paid taxes."

Both Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus came out swinging against Reid on Sunday over his claims about Romney potentially not paying taxes. Asked to respond to Priebus calling Reid "a dirty liar" over the situation, Pelosi initially responded, "Who?" She went on to say that Priebus doesn't know what he's talking about since he wasn't part of Reid's conversations.

"Well he doesn't know that," Pelosi said. "Harry Reid is a person who is, as we know, A, is a fighter, B, he wouldn't say this unless it was true that somebody told him that."

The California Democrat said she doesn’t relish watching Romney squirm over his tax returns because she's more interested in focusing on the fact that his tax plan is "so harmful to the middle class." Still, she said, the two issues are connected.

"The salience of what Harry Reid is saying is related" to the contents of Romney's tax plan, Pelosi said. "Here's a guy who wants you to pay more when I think, 'I' meaning Harry Reid, somebody told me he hasn't even paid his taxes. But he wants you to pay more to underwrite tax cuts for the wealthy. ... It's like a double doozy."


Hah! Dirty Harry is shoving it right up Mitt's wazoo!

So, all Nancy is saying is that she thinks that someone told that to Harry, not that she believes that herself. the big question is, is okay for people who hold a position of public trust to make claims like this with only one source and no verification of that? Hell, we expect that of reporters, why shouldn't we expect that of the leader of the Senate?

"He's not lying, he's just passing off a lie told to him". That's the defense? Really?

I'm still trying to figure out the part where Romney is for taxes to be less for the wealthy so that the rest of us will pay more.

To my knowledge, the only case this is clear is that Romney wants the tax cuts to be permanent for everyone, not just everyone making less than 250,000. If there's more to this, I'd like to hear it.

I absolutely, 100% *DO* know if Romney is NOT elected, Obamacare taxes absolutely will raise MY taxes.
