All the Republicans Calling on Romney to Release His Tax Returns

The chorus of conservatives calling for Mitt Romney to release more of his tax returns has grown from being mostly those with an ax to grind to elected officials and the conservative establishment. Here's who's on the record wanting Romney's taxes on the record so far:

Rick Perry. The Texas governor told the Associated Press Tuesday, "I’m a big believer that no matter who you are, or what office you’re running for, you should be as transparent as you can be with your tax returns and other aspects of your life so that people have the appropriate ability to judge your background and what have you... I think anyone running for office, if they get asked within reason to give people background about what they have been doing, including tax returns, should do that."

Ron Paul. "Politically, I think that would help him… In the scheme of things politically, you know, it looks like releasing tax returns is what the people want," the former presidential candidate told Politico Tuesday.

Brit Hume. "Anytime it’s an issue between disclosure and non-disclosure, you always wonder whether it’s better just to put it out there," the Fox News commentator told Bill O'Reilly Monday night.
