Romney just disqualified himself :-)

Romney a while ago on record said
“I pay all the taxes that are legally required, not a dollar more. I don't think you want someone as the candidate for president who pays more taxes than he owes.”
 
However his 2011 tax return reveals that he paid more than legally required
Mitt and Ann Romney donated a whole heck of a lot of money to charity in 2011 — $4,020,772, to be exact, or about 30 percent of their total income. But they chose only to claim $2.25 million of that total as charitable deductions, because, well, otherwise their overall tax burden would have been a little, shall we say, light.
 
Did he disqualify himself? :-)
