Her holdings and her tax fillings are private according to the law, she is doing what the law asks. Some of her fillings are public records as far as I know, but I've been wrong before.
I wish there was more info relased by both candidates but what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

Ah, thank you . . . yet another fine example of Mr. Kerry's tremendous agility!

Quote by buddy " Sen. John F. Kerry [related, bio] is mortgaging the house - literally - to keep his fading presidential hopes alive, writing an $850,000 personal check to his campaign yesterday and planning to take out a loan against his Louisburg Square townhouse." Now look at this and see who owns the house...Kerry's Campaign Mortgage Questioned
WRKO Boston talk radio host Howie Carr is questioning whether Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry was given special treatment when he obtained a $6.4 million mortgage last December on the Beacon Hill townhouse he owns jointly with his wife to rescue his then-financially strapped campaign.>>>>> read it all !!!<<<<<

Ok guys let's think about this for a minute.
If Buddy posts an item, it is fact since he posted it and it is pro Kerry.
If someone else posts a thread from a reliable source, it would not contain any facts since it is neither anti nor pro Kerry but simply making a statement.
Go figure.
Back to the main issue.
If Ms Kerry is the First Lady, any of her holdings would have to be put in a Trust and she would not have any say in the administering of it. That is law. Be it Bush, Clinton, Cheney, Gore or whomever, their entire immediate family's holdings are placed in a trust.
Mrs Kerry is refusing to release her tax records now, how big of a stink will she cause losing control of her fortune.
Yet the bigger question is now what is on her tax return that she does not want made public.

That statement makes an assumption that simply since she chooses privacy, she has something to hide. Would all here also apply that same assumption to the refusal of members of the Bush Administration refusing to tell who attended the "energy planning" meeting? Maintaining secrecy or privacy which is protected by the law is not generally considered reasonable cause to accuse someone of wrong doing. Demanding that even the police have reasonable cause to search my house does not indicate that I have anything to hide. I don't think it is an ethical reason to make such accusations either.

Colo,
Is it an assumption or is it law?
If I were a Judicial Law Judge, I would lean toward ordering the tax records made public. Much has been learned in recent weeks about the Kerry holdings that had not been known previously. Some of what was learned goes directly against what he says he supports.
While I care who gets the Presidency, I will still be alive, working and self sufficient no matter who is in office. This is a situation where a man wants to run the nation but his wife does not want information made public about their business dealings. The public has a right to know what is going on during pre election times with a family that could possibly be in the Whitehouse.
I also question the Kerrys filing separate returns. Is this a way of owing less taxes? If so, I see nothing wrong with that. If there is some other reason, then maybe the public needs to know what that reason is.
As to the search of a residence you mention, I would agree with you. I am not going to allow a warrantless search of my home or vehicle even though I have nothing to hide. If I were running for public office though, I would have to set an example.

Her tax returns are her private business. I don't have to tell anyone what my tax returns show. however, when you run for a public office you have to expect your more private live to come to view. This is necessary so that the people you hope to serve can see if you are as honest as possible before placing our lives in your hands. Now granted she isn't running, but when you marry someone you become one with them, and what they do affects you and vice versa.

I guess I would have to say my husband. But I am blessed with a wonderful respectful confident husband, so he doesnt' feel the need to control me, but in the end if we disagree on something, he makes the final decision.

Buddy,
You want facts contained in the article? OK.
Fact is mentioned in the campaign limits. $2000 from Ms Kerry. Not speculation but law.
Fact is worth of the mansion is 6 million based on tax values. This is from public property records. Seems that is factual since it is from a factual source. I cannot determine if it is accurate but it is reported as factual so I must assume it is correct in the amount.
Fact is the amount of 6 million is the total value but it is also the amount borrowed. That is confirmed somewhat by another article posted here in another thread days ago showing the worth of property held by John Kerry and/or his wife. Few bankers will loan 100% of the value on property. While it is common for mortgage companies to go 125% of the appraised value on loans with outstanding credit, banks are tighter with their limits.
Again, this is all speculative as is much of what you post. You question postings of others, including their sources, but never bother to put disclaimers on your postings.
While running this rabbit, what is your feelings on the Washington Post poll that shows Bush popularity gaining in many areas and not losing in any areas? Be sure to remember that Washington Post is a liberal media source.
