Perry Joins Rivals in Attacking Romney on Bain………….”He said that people in nearby Gaffney, S.C., in particular, “would find his comments incredible,” because it is where Mr. Perry said Bain shut down a plant and fired 150 workers.

“That didn’t happen until Mitt Romney’s private equity firm, they looted that company with more than $20 million in management fees.”

He also charged that Mr. Romney’s firm took $65 million in management fees out of a steel company in a deal in which 700 steelworkers in Georgetown, S.C., and Kansas City lost their jobs, their health insurance and “large portions” of their pensions.

“There’s nothing wrong with being successful and making money — that’s the American dream,” Mr. Perry said. “But there is something inherently wrong when getting rich off failures and sticking it to someone else is how you do your business. I happen to think that that is indefensible.”

“If you are a victim of Bain capital’s downsizing, it’s the ultimate insult for Mitt Romney to come to South Carolina and tell you he feels your pain — because he caused it,” Mr. Perry said..”

I saw a clip of that and laughed. Perry is finally 'loosing the dogs of war,' as he's been known to do in Texas politics. If nothing else, he will lead the pack in putting Rotney in his place and will function well in that capacity. He may not ever regain him momentum after his verbal slip-ups, we'll have to wait and see, but he WILL go out swinging like the dirt-tough politician that he is.

Romney won't know what hit him. And i can't WAIT until SC to watch it unfold. :)
