Is there something in the water in Texas? Or has the heat fried their brains?

First Rick Perry today, and Louie "Terrorist Babies" Gohmert had to open his big mouth:

GOHMERT: Well there, well there have been, and you can go back to Duval County and Lyndon Johnson days when he told his, his ah, supposedly his campaign manager, "No, this man in this grave has every bit as much to vote as all the other people in this cemetery." I mean, those things have been going on. But when you don't have a requirement for a photo ID, it's hard to identify the fraud.

Ah, see that? We need photo IDs to prove that there's all this voter fraud we keep talking about, which will also prevent said voter fraud from happening, which is why we need the photo IDs in the first place.

It's super popular!

Rasmuessen - 73% support voter ID
Fox News - 70% support
PPP (Minesota) - 58% support
Wilson Research - 80% support

I'd love to post more (D) polls on this one, but the honest truth is that besides the PPP poll in MN and the fact that the Faux news poll was done jointly with Anderson Robbins, I can't find ANY polls being conducted by D polling houses.

If you have one, let me know.
