8:42 PM: Okay now we’re talking. This is my kind of debate. Mitt’s contempt-drenched laugh in Perry’s face. Romney’s putting his hands on Perry’s body. And then it got really fun. Wow. Thoughts?
8:45 PM: Okay, I’m just going from what I heard here. But I think Mitt just said “Hey, I’m running for office. I can’t have illegals working for me.” Again, we’ll get the corrected quote in a moment. But isn’t that kind of a funny statement. Like, not ‘Hey, that’s wrong. I won’t stand for that.” But, jeez, I’m running for office. This’ll kill me. Get rid of those folks.
Here’s the actual transcript …
So we went to the company and we said, look, you can’t have any illegals working on our property. I’m running for office, for pete’s sake, we can’t have illegals. Turns out that once question they hired someone who had falsified their documents and therefore we fired them.
I think that quote is going to have some life.
