both parties tend to want folks to give up civil liberties... democrats do the same thing telling us what we can eat or drink or how big our slurpy can be...
rights always have two sides... the right to be protected from search and seizure vs the right to have not have cimminals free on the street or the right of the person to eat/drink/smoke what the want vs the right of everyone else to not have to pay for their health problems
there are rights on both sides so in these types of questions you have to look past the simple rhetoric of "they are taking my civil liberties"!

you are correct
folks were claiming Obama violated the law (ineligible to be president)
or his records were false
nobody is saying Romney is doing anything illegal - just that he's taking advantage of tax breaks to prove a point about high income tax rates
so yes... they are different - there are somewhat legitimate reasons to see Obama's records and no real reason to see Romneys
couldn't care less about any of the records BTW - but it's illogical to call birthers nuts but tax return...ers... legit (illogical or hypocritical - no other option)

if you have no problem with Obama waiting 4 years then you shouldn't have any problem with Romeny giving us his returns sometime in 2016...
but again - Obama's was questioning his right to be president... Romney's is simply to make a tax return point - and as YOU pointed out there is a major difference

sub the words "from a cracker jack box" from "real college" and you might be on to something! (-:
