Title: Rick Perry: Administration at war with S. C.
Post by: rosenewock21 on January 15, 2012, 10:38:35 am: http://news.yahoo.com/flap-over-carolina-law-old-tensions-campaign-issue-142226960.html (http://news.yahoo.com/flap-over-carolina-law-old-tensions-campaign-issue-142226960.html)

"Each of our states are under assault right now by this administration," Texas Governor Rick Perry said Saturday at a candidates' forum in Charleston. "We may be under assault - South Carolina, they're actually at war with you."

So South Carolina feels that they should have voter restrictions in place in the form of requiring a state ID to vote. The federal government feels this will disenfranchise certain sectors of voters. Perry felt the need, in a state a little too proud that they fired the first shots of the Civil War, to tell the good people of S.C. that the federal government was at war with them.

*facepalms*

Anyone else see the problem here?

If it means the GOP might lose more power, then yes.

Have...have you not seen the news lately? The GOP has been instituting more draconian and stringent voter ID laws for a while now. The irony being that they were the first to get kicked in the nuts by them, keeping Newt Gingrich (and someone else...Perry?) out of the Virginia GOP primary.
