Here's the audio of that McCain-Romney slam. And, based on that audio, here's a bit more complete transcript of John McCain's statement:
"I'm a little disappointed in Fred, ‘cause, again, he had a very — a different position not that long ago. But since he's not a declared candidate, I think that Fred will be able to articulate his position."
"In the case of Governor Romney, you know, maybe I should wait a couple of weeks and see if it changes, because it's changed in less than a year from his position before. And maybe his solution will be to get out his small-varmint gun and drive those Guatemalans off his lawn. I don't know."
More below the fold...
Here:
"It's a little frustrating in that I would hope that all of these people who are condemning this very quickly, say, well, what is your solution. Because clearly the status quo is a totally unacceptable situation. And having said that, I have to quickly add I understand the frustration and anger that people feel after a generation of a broken system where we have these incredible hardships imposed on us as a result of illegal immigrants. And now, since 9/11, it is a national-security issue, first and foremost."
Again, the Romney camp's response is here.
