described your record in massachusetts before you were describing your efforts in massachusetts as a bipartisan bridge builder. would he come out with a sista souljah moment on request? that could work. were you a severe conservative or are you the reaching over the aisle across the aisle kind of guy? which is it? but you ve got to as i said before, you have to go at romney the person. it s not romney s policies because those don t really exist. it s romney the man that he s i agree. that s what i m working tonight. let s take a look at the promise romney made at the debate last week about keeping his $5 trillion tax cut deficit new deficit neutral. in other words, no cost to the deficit and cutting $5 trillion mainly for the wealthy. let s watch. with regards to that tax cut, look, i m not looking to cut massive taxes and to reduce the revenues going to the
