The attacks by Romney and other opponents scored the desire to blunt the momentum Perry Governor of Texas early in the battle for the GOP nomination and has followed a trend from two debates earlier this month.
Perry was on the defensive at intervals throughout the two hours Thursday to exchange, over his support for mandatory vaccinations for young girls against a sexually transmitted virus.
If Perry seemed to give some ground on Social Security, he stuck to his positions on immigration. He said he is opposed to trying to build a fence along the US-Mexico border and defended his support to enable children of illegal immigrants in the state of education in college.
Romney said the policy made "no sense", and former Senator Rick Santorum (Pennsylvania), Perry said: ". I would say that is soft on immigration"
Perry said that the policy had won the support of the Texas Legislature has only four votes against. "I strongly support it," he said.
Debate on Thursday was a free-wheeling event, where almost all the candidates played a more visible than in the previous two debates, there was often a confrontation between Romney and Perry. This means that the forum is likely to have minimal effect on a race that focused on the two leaders, but other candidates have shown their determination not to be rejected.
Obama has been criticized on several occasions and the candidates vying to attack what they described as a government that has become too large and intrusive.
Fox News, Google and the Republican Party of Florida were the hosts for the discussion, which was another two weeks, which should play an important role in deciding who will win the GOP nomination.
Many of the questions collected from people nationwide, adding a different flavor to this forum, and sometimes fall, and Perry, Romney has the potential to go after the other.
Talking was one of a series of actions that have produced thousands of Republican activists in Orlando this weekend five Presidency. These events are the two other candidates forum for conservative organizations and Republican Party of Florida straw poll on Saturday. Perry is strongly favored to win the vote. Romney said he did not participate. He also skipped Iowa straw poll in August.
Moreover, a Quinnipiac University poll Thursday showed Perry with a slight lead over Romney in the Sunshine State. The survey showed the Republican Perry with 28 percent and Romney with 22 percent, a relatively insignificant difference to before the primaries in the state. Perry led among men, while Romney led more closely in women - a pattern seen in other surveys of Republican candidates.
Talk in nine contenders. In addition, Perry and Romney, they were: Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.), Rep. Ron Paul (Tex.), a former House speaker Newt Gingrich (Ga), a businessman Herman Cain, former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman Jr., a former Senator Rick Santorum (Pa.) and former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (Mich.) announced Thursday that he is ending his long-shot campaign. McCotter, who was not invited to a forum, Romney is approved.
His criticism of Romney's health, Perry, 2010 for an article written by R. Glenn Hubbard, an economist, which Romney announced earlier this month to help lead his team of economic advisers.
The article, published in Forum for Health Economics and Policy, Hubbard and two co-authors noted similarity of the Massachusetts plan for national health law, President Obama signed in 2010. Romney has distanced itself from federal law.
"The main components of the plan are the same as those of the new law reforming the effects of the intention of providing a window on the future of the country," says the document.
Perry also attacked Romney on Education. The former Massachusetts governor has spoken positively about an Obama administration program called "Race to the Top", providing additional funds to states if they adopt the policies of the administration favors, as the creation of charter schools.
Perry said the program was not "conservative" and that it was improper government intervention in education.
Hours before the debate, candidates spoke at an event sponsored by the Florida Chapter of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, a group that organizes the Conservatives to vote next year.
Competitors avoided attacking each other on this forum, instead of drawing subtle contrasts.
Bachmann said her opposition to same-sex marriage and urged voters to elect a solid conservative as the party candidate. His goal seemed to be Romney, who has largely downplayed issues such as gay marriage and abortion in his campaign.
"We sat in the back of the bus in this election, get up and have a candidate who is a real social conservative," he said.
Santorum called for more direct religious conservatives to support the argument that when people who call themselves conservative are located on the face of opposition on social issues, "I'm big and I fought."
Romney stuck to his post as ever: his experience in business. "I am a businessman, I am a conservative businessman," he said. "There are many people who are presidential candidates who are politicians .... I think it helps to have someone who had a job to create jobs."
Perry talked about his faith. He also emphasized his upbringing in humble appearance unlike Romney, whose father was an executive car before entering politics.
"I can say one thing: I was not born with four aces in his hand," he said, mocking Romney's comments in the last debate that job growth in Texas as a result of political and economic conditions inherited from Perry.
Cain became a crowd favorite and has published a denunciation of Obama. Gingrich promised that he would sign a series of advertisements favored by social conservatives for his first day as president. Paul emphasized his opposition to abortion.
