Perry: Mitt's company 'just vultures' who 'eat the carcass' of companies (Updated)
Jake Sherman files the latest from Fort Mill, S.C., and it is rough, rough stuff:
Rick Perry is back on Mitt Romney — in a big way.
At a town hall here, he reprised his attack on Romney's Bain Capital, but took it a step further.
"I will suggest they're just vultures," he said of firms that "loot" other companies. "They're vultures that are sitting out there on the tree limb, waiting for a company to get sick. And then they swoop in, they eat the carcass, they leave with that and they leave the skeleton."
UPDATE: Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul emails with a response that gives as good as Romney has gotten (or comes close.)
“It is no surprise that, having spent nearly half a century in government between them, Speaker Gingrich and Governor Perry have resorted to desperate attacks on a subject they don’t understand. We expect attacks on free enterprise from President Obama and his allies on the left — not from so-called ‘fiscal conservatives,’" she writes. "Speaker Gingrich and Governor Perry seem to think that running against the private sector is the way to revive their floundering campaigns. Governor Romney will continue talking about his experience in the real economy, his vision for getting America back to work, and how important it is that we defeat President Obama in November.”
