"I'm running for office for Pete's sake!"
That's -- I'm running for office, for Pete's sake, I can't have illegals. [video clip] -- Mitt Romney, GOP presidential debate - October 18, 2011 - Las Vegas, NV
Rudy Giuliani asked Mitt Romney the same question in the 2008 CNN debate that Rick Perry asked him during the CNN 2011 debate -- Mitt lost it both times.

My money’s on Mitt
Fred, you broke my heart in 2008. We all know Perry is behind this. CW is in panic mode right now.
I will start. Give me a “P”...P. Give me a “E”....E. Give me a “R”...R. give me a “R”...R. give me a “Y”...Y. What does that spell? PERRY! What? PERRY! Easy to figure this out.
In 2007, he was running Mitt Romneys campaign in South Carolina, where Mitt was behind the rest of us in the polls.

In 2011, ..... Mitt is behind the rest of them in the polls.
I wonder - since Mr. Cain has said that this came up in his preparation for the Senate campaign in 2004 - was the issue raised then? Or was he merely preparing to address it if it did?
Good piece, thanks for posting it.
“He ran George W. Bushs 2000 campaign, in which anonymous flyers and telephone calls accused John McCain of fathering an illegitimate child with a black woman.”
That is simply not true.
The Bush campaign would not and did not do such a thing.
Nope. Never heard of J. Warren Tompkins. Or of this Cain story. hehehe ... did you just pinch my butt?
Don’t forget the obligatory hat tip to the grand-daddy of dirty politics in the modern age - Tricky Dick Nixon.
Who was the, Perry employee, Wilson working for back then.????
Pretty interesting thoughts from a man who has “been to the rodeo.” But he let’s Cain off way too easy for publicly and loudly accusing the Perry campaign, and then totally backing away from that the very next day. That to me is almost as disgraceful as leaking the story, or maybe even worse.
Why would Romney want to damage his VP candidate like this? After all you and the rest of the Perry brigade have repeatedly said that Cain was only in this to be Romney’s VP.
You Perry shills are really pathetic.
All I know is, is that the Dimocrats are loving this. They think the real black man is in trouble and will not be of harm to their half & half in the House in the hood. This is going to hurt with a lot of folks. Cause folks to lose faith in Mr. Cain. If it was going to happen to him, better now than later, like the night before the election when GWB’s DUI came out. At least if he survives this, he has time to heal it before the elections begin. I am still in his side. I hate Romney and Perry and will not vote for either.
I think 0bama’s supporters would read this thread and the comments and be very happy. Their strategy is working beautifully. We egg on our candidates to tear each other apart, and 0bama gets a free pass to campaign on our tax dollars.
So help me, I am going to get (expose) those sonsabitches.
It’s logical that it’s Mitt since Cain has been passing up Mitt in the polls. Who stands to benefit most from Cain gettng trashed?
Ha ha—a little score settling from Fred.
Who benefits? Mitt benefits the most. The Dems also benefit — if Mitt gets the nomination, some conservatives will be disheartened enough to stay home or go third party.
