Watching the brouhaha between Ron Paul and Rick Santorum, Rick Perry said, “I think you’ve just seen an example of why I got into this race in the first place: because I’m the only outsider with the possible exception of Jon Hunstman.”

The debate host asked, “You’re saying Ron Paul is an insider?”

Perry replied that Paul engaged in the congressional game of “getting the earmarks then voting against the bill.”

“I don’t know what you’d call that,” he said. “But in Texas we call that hypocrisy.”
