I never understood, in the cowboy movies of my childhood, why someone would look in a horse's mouth to decide whether he wanted to buy the horse. I assume it has something to do the teeth and gums as signs of age or health of the horse.
Well, now we have a Republican ticket that wants us to buy them without looking in their mouths. Or as used to be said in the South: they want to sell us a "pig in a poke" -- a poke being a rough sack, the metaphor meaning buy something that is concealed, not open for inspection.
Of course, Romney has been refusing to come forth with his tax plan or his own tax returns. And now his sidekick is saying "no" when asked to open his mouth for inspection.
Paul Ryan told Brit Hume on Fox News that they would pay for the tax cuts by closing loopholes. But when asked what loopholes, he would not say -- only that it should be discussed "in the light of day" by Congress.
Of course, this means not until >>>>After the Election<<<<.
Romney -- who never took a position he was unwilling to change if politically necessary -- says "Trust Me." And he'll tell us after the election what his tax proposals are.
That's not going to work, guys.
Not even the spineless journalists working the daily news shows are going to let you get away with that.
