GOP presidential candidate Texas Gov. Rick Perry managed to get the voting age and Election Day wrong in the same sentence during a New Hampshire appearance Tuesday.
“Those who are going to be over 21 on November 12th, I ask for your support,” Perry said, prompting some laughs from the college crowd at St. Anselm's College, according to the Washington Post.
"Those who won’t be, just work hard. Because you’re... counting on us.” Perry was speaking at a town hall meeting at the Institute of Politics at the college.
The U.S.voting age is 18 and the 2012 elections are scheduled for Nov. 6, 2012 with the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary coming up on Jan. 10.

What a world, what a world!
The Republicans have Newt climbing in the polls, while having a “proven” history and the same documented past that Herman is going to be thrown out of the race for having, can anyone say hypocrisy and double standards?
Newt was caught “lying” and being “guilty” of far greater wrongs than Herman is only accused of as well as the President he tried to slander and destroy!
They got Mr. Clean Mitt that couldn’t beat President Obama in anybodies polls and last but not least they got the clown Rick and a Sara want a be, yet they keep claiming President Obama has already lost, REALLY???
Here is a clue for ya, as long as the Republican party continues to pander and protects the haves against the have not, while arrogantly standing on a platform of openly displayed hypocrisy and double standards, the White House is not even an option, PERIOD!
The best thing President Obama has going for his reelection is the lack of the Republican party to be what it claims to be, go figure???
WE DESERVE THE ABUSE WE ACCEPT!
