Should the South Get All the Fun?

We normally think of secession and nullification coming from dead-enders from the South. But really, why should they get all the fun. With the backing of Sarah Palin and Tim Pawlenty, the Minnesota Republican party just nominated for Governor Tom Emmer who says no federal laws should apply in Minnesota unless 2/3 of both houses of the state legislature approve the law in advance.

They need to check the water in Minnesota. I have asked DHEC to do it in SC.

4. So....how would that affect federal funds/support?

If these clowns don't approve of a federal program/ruling, does that mean they can't have the benefits, either?

For instance, the healthcare program. If they turned that down, will the citizens be banned from buying into the federal health insurance...have their funding cut for other health care programs like Medicare, Medicaid, children's insurance, flu shots, etc?

I don't think a lot of these people understand the benefits their states get, but if they are threatened with losing them, I'll bet they'll scream the loudest.

5. This guy comes from practically the same district for the state

as Bachmann comes from for federal...the area covering Wright and Hennepin Counties...right there in Minneapolis. Practically the only place in the state that is wholly republican.
