-- now aimed squarely at governor Mitt Romney what now appears the new democratic narrative they say he's a liar.

The democratic national committee's communications director saying this quote there had been plenty of people who pointed out what a liar Mitt Romney is and was last night.

I mean if he was talking if he was speaking last night he was lying.

And look Mitt Romney had a good night but you know even a blind squirrel gets a nut every now and then.

Juan Williams is a lot.

Mary Katharine Ham as editor at large hot air dot com and -- Fox News contributor.

Good morning to both the table I mean I don't know America -- I -- you can stretch -- -- you can bend the facts by death.

-- -- -- -- I think it might have been an upgrade for a bomb it'll look like a blind squirrel according to even some of his liberal critics think of -- -- -- was like that.

The winds girl -- act altitude sickness I think according to to -- -- so I think what this -- -- he didn't went on substance he didn't went on style it's just one of three debates I think he'll certainly get better.

In the next two but.

There was a lot of pretty.

Ugly embarrassing excuse making right after the events including the altitude sickness one from gore which is my personal favorite.

And then they decide -- -- Maybe it'll be more dignified to call him a liar I I do think that this is a strategy it happened after Paul Ryan's speech if he can't -- -- called a liar and they're turning what are basic.

Political disagreements you -- -- -- -- speech in Tampa.

Yeah adherence and that was the immediate response from them -- I think it's it's a strategy to take basic political disagreements.

And paint them as -- when -- -- one can you defendants yeah.

I mean I have a little I agree with Mary Catherine there in terms of the style I don't think the president liberated -- wasn't engaging didn't bring the fire didn't bring the fight.

But in terms of substance if you want to ask gee I think.

Mary -- not bitter -- by brilliant -- -- had the had the big tax cut comedy think that's what's necessary.

To rev up our economy but onstage that night he says -- -- you don't understand I'm I'm not calling for any kind of five trillion dollar tax that never had that in mind that's not what I.

-- that in terms of obamacare yeah I had a plan like that what my plan also now we'll cover people with preexisting conditions that obvious -- it back -- the states.

While the state darn good position to cover to -- to be clear and.

On the topic at the moment you're OK we'll call him a liar.

Well I think it's hard are you OK are not calling him there -- people but I -- -- that he distorted.

His record.

He did it went all right okay pause right there -- -- hang on this is Stephanie Cutter.

Talking about the five trillion dollar tax cuts right on CNN with Erin Burnett -- deaths.

Aaron he's campaigned on -- tax rates by 20% for everybody including those in the top 1% that was one of the main selling points.

In the Republican primary -- -- and you automatically -- and you get you get a slap -- -- dollar tax break.

Yeah it's a five trillion dollar tab but yeah he's a -- says it's not going to be anywhere near I billion dollars that's our nonsense.

Well okay stipulated won't be near five trillion dollars but it's also not going to be the sum of five -- dollars in the -- is gonna close.

Right now we don't whatever -- to do our work for us but -- -- she did apparently right there are.

Okay stipulated it won't be near five trillion did not know Digg URL hang on why the big quarter ended up in -- concede Mary can end.

Here's the thing I'm happy to let Stephanie Cutter doing my job -- in this case because she's stipulates what it's not going to be financially why because in order to make it actually but they're doing is they're removing half of Romney's plan.

They're just talking about the tax -- they're not talking about the fact that he will.

Close some loopholes and change some deductions in order to pay for that tax cut he's saying -- revenue -- you're welcome to ask -- Brack Obama didn't actually take that opportunity -- on the stage with him.

But it's not fair to say that it's justified filling out tax cut when there is partly -- -- to -- -- aren't -- well.

What what you kidding me name one of the loopholes and deductions he won't -- -- I don't know once again I think it would be upset if he starts taking away your mortgage deduction if he's that somehow we're gonna do away with charitable giving at the production people would -- and it felt he didn't -- -- partly because you don't demagogue but I like this -- -- -- weren't.

I'm sorry repeat that in a bit I think part of that part of the reason he is worried about.

Naming certain things is with good reason because the Obama campaign will blatant well.

I lied about it openly I don't get into their lives either -- so what we've got here is mystery -- He's not saying and that's why it would blow up into a tax hike on middle class Americans there's no plan there but she said look if you let it won't be near five trillion on -- -- -- on a -- or why.

Wait a second I don't see -- -- -- -- -- you know you know during this debate Romney went over three times.

So that he was not taken out of contact bill beating -- -- I'm is not laying out of the -- all or deduction and the way they airport according to the tax probably thinner and independent group raise taxes on the middle.

Well -- like your -- hang on he went over this time and again.

If you take the entire package together yes that it is nowhere near what the Democrats -- -- now Mary -- What blogs alleging is that you need specifics yes right and I think that's a fair that's absurd I spent a lot of well -- you get there was criticism -- Is that a fair criticism that I think that is a fair question asking about how the opportunity to ask and totaling muffed it and didn't even bother to go there.

And I do think it's tough to have the discussion about tax form because.

I -- always afraid that it's going to be demagogue with an -- of his life when you talk about cutting any deduction that's how you don't get tax reform I think.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I told you earlier I don't like that kind of language I think it's too personal but I do think he distorted things I mean like you know this business about sending jobs overseas he says about what will -- -- -- rather discussion here is so much to get to you this Cathy grays get a hot October thanks to both -- -- your -- we'll get back king had a very good one thank you.
