Rick Perry puts foot in mouth at S.C debate 1/16/2012 (Federal vs State) (Voter ID in S.C vs Virginia Ballot requirements)
Rick Perry stated that he supports the South Carolina voter I.D law in order to get votes from S.C Governor Haley endorsement. He was against the Obama Administration filing a lawsuit against the South Carolina because the voter i.d law unfairly restricts low income people in the state from voting due to its long standing history of discrimination against other ethnic groups other than white. However, Governor of Texas Rick Perry failed to state that he is personally going up against the Commonwealth of Virginia ballot voting requirements, which is a state rights law, with a lawsuit, which is a state in America, whom has state ballot requirement for candidates and voters, and all those trying to be listed on the Virginia ballot. Rick Perry accuses the federal government for getting involved in state affairs, but does not use the same harsh criticism, in his own pursuit, already being pushed in State of Virginia to have his name on the ballot. Does the Texas Governor think that the laws of Virginia and South Carolina, depending on which side of the issue that benefits himself personally is on, is allowed to have him intrude and infringe on state law since he is not a member of Federal Government. The problem really is that he is part of state Government and trying to intrude on another state government. Governor Perry should dismiss his lawsuit immediately against the Republican party and the Commonwealth of Virginia because his action is a direct attempt to restrict a state’s voting rights. Maybe Governor Perry should take his own advice at the South Carolina debate and practice what he preach. Governor Perry should just drop out of the race because he got a round of applause by being a hyprocrit or maybe some in the audience forgot Governor Perry pursuit against state rights in Virginia. Also Rick Perry isn’t the only one filing a lawsuit against another State at this level than shouldn’t states be worried about their intrusion at a Federal level.
