Romney just landed a solid punch to Perrys nose over accusations of having hired illegals working on his property.
Romney’s face is red and he’s clearly rattled and he’s so imperious ,
he believes the debates are all about him.
He treats the rest of the candidates like they’re
his lawn care people.
“ I’m speaking , I’m speaking, “ what a nasty POS.
Mitts turning red....
Anderson Poofter is letting Milt interject, on Perrys time.
Perry’s coming off as kind of a dick though. They’re both looking bad in this spat.
Thanks for typing that. I agree.
Perry and Mitt look like babies.
Romney is being shoved down our throats by RINOs, LIBS, and the MEDIA. Just like McCain.
I’m laughing so hard at Perry trying to move it to illegal aliens because he didn’t want to talk about the million+ kids that don’t have healthcare. Perry’s biggest donors benefit from illegal labor.
The audience is definitely holding the pom-poms for Romney.
That photo is not reversed. You can see their wedding rings on their left hands.
Yes.
Romney is so repulsive - cannot even stand to listen to him.
Mitt acting like a spoiled child now. Admitting to Perry’s initial claim.
Mitt slapped Perry upside the head with the 60% increase in illegals.
Newt made a mistake with Pelosi on the couch—it may be time to let that go.
But if you are buying an American made product the price should be substantially lower since the corporate rate will be dropping from 35 to 9%. Also if you are like most working people your federal tax rate will be lower as well.
Pro-Romney crowd in Vegas, of course...
Perry is going to punch someone
Romney is embarrassing himself!! Just ridiculous!
