The battle for the Republican presidential nomination erupted into all out war tonight as Mitt Romney and Rick Perry got personal in a series of angry clashes.
Standing almost toe to toe, the two men repeatedly held up the debate as they bickered over everything from immigration to job creation.

I heard that line from Romney! I hope it gets replayed!
Perry handled himself well against the attacks, but I want to
see him pushing energy, energy, and jobs instead of getting
into it with Romney.
Just sayin’......
But they won't let it go to waste.
Earlier... bored Perry, can't stay awake -- needs to find his energy.
Knocks one out of the park -- mean old Perry, made Mitt look good.
Won't change what everyone saw.
You go after the one you must beat for the nomination. Rick Perry always goes for the jugular. I want him to keep punching Mittens.
Is she here legally? Millions of people live in other countries, most of them do it by choice.
Its absurd to think we have any responsibility to criminals.
The billions of dollars people like this cost American taxpayers is profane
The media ignored Perry (outside of roughing him up on race, religion and the border) until he picked that old scab (the other one) that hurts Romney. Those in the bag for Romney will cry out and the Left will love it because it hurts Obama's supposed opponent.
Hardly anyone was commenting on his Energy speech. But they'll be listening to Perry's Economic speech this Tuesday and perhaps reading his Energy policy plan to get the country working and energy independent.
IIRC, there were two different times that Romney had illegals working for him, per investigative reports.
Romney can only deny it by saying they were hired by the companies he hired. He can only claim he did not do the direct hiring of illegals.
I think we’re in business.
Romney royally “loses it” each time this comes up [2008 and 2010]. His skin is so thin — he can’t control his anger. It shows the voters what’s underneath that plastic demeanor, and it isn’t presidential.
The sad thing about Mexico is the country has abundant natural resources- they have everything they need to become a great country. Everything except people willing to stand up to the government and create a new country- beginning with a new constitution. Mexico had several revolutions in the past but none re-invented the government- simply changed leadership.
Why do flaming libs get to moderate GOP debates?
Beck’s minions (Beck is sick again) are really trashing Perry and some of it is disingenuous.
I was literally jumping out of my chair excited when Santorum turned the big guns on Romney. And wow did he hit Romney hard, Romney was turning red and nearly in tears at one point, by the double team from Santorum and Perry.
That was a terrific moment!
Perry did much better. I still think it's Romney's turn (to lose) however.
I knew about his back surgery. That can take time to heal. I wonder if he’s wearing a back brace until it’s totally healed. He had to go out on the road to fund raise shortly after the surgery.
Now, one more time the class of people in power who refuse to do anything serious about illegal immigrants LOVE their lawn boys and cheap tarts!
When caught they always tell you "well, you can't just demand papers from someone with a funny accent"!
He likes those guys ~ because some of them dress nicely.
Mitt was totally frustrated when he was taken to task last night, but Perry did not have his best night either. I actually have to give Mrs. Bachman a few extra points this morning. She did have a few really great moments. I still like Herman Cain. I hope he gets the nomination.
I have suspected all along that Perry is wearing some sort of back brace while on stage because of his surgery and the way he stands.
It may not be a solid one, maybe just one of those flexible types you see on the guys stocking stuff at big box stores, but the way he stands and walks to a smaller degree seems like someone in pain or a with a brace that is limiting his range of motion some.
Gov. Perry was working hard to get Mexican President Fox committed to growing the middle class in Mexico -- to slow illegal crossings into the U.S by making their lives better in Mexico. You're right about Mexico's potential. Just look at all their oil, coastlines, mountains, etc. It shows what crappy governing does to a place vs good government.
