Is all that red in Texas for red necks?   Red necks aren't liberal are they?

Actually there aren't any rednecks here in Texas, ignorant stereotyping must be all potheads in Oregon have, huh.

This simply exemplifies the fact that our conservatives are more loyal to money and jesus than the nation.

Taxes are more important to them.

The left isn't any better, but both sides are cultural marxist corporate hacks. I don't get this dichotomy.

This is exactly the question I was asking in the other thread (in which this question has also been chewed over at length). Would the Republic of texas just expect to take over all the military facilities, including Nukes, and expect the U.S. Govt. to hand them over with a smile and a handshake for the cameras?

So what do you hope to be the benefits, if it ever was to come to pass? If it's not (as I presume people would insist most stringently) just so you wouldn't have to pay taxes and be ruled by a Marxist, what do you see as being the benfefits that an independent Texas would bring?

Probably not, in fact knowing the military there won't be a Texan on any Texan base within the next three months. Just before independence the whole shebang will be moved north leaving a few guns and old tanks.

IMO this is just a bunch of melodramatic nonsense perpetrated by, to be quite frank, sore losers. People need to accept reality and do something positive. Posing the idea that civil war is a good option for America is utterly foolish.

If the Governor went all "formal" with this - can he be, I don't know tried for "treason" against his constituents?  I highly doubt .002 % of the population is representative of what the majority would like.  Is this the job he was hired to do?  Or is he grandstanding for his own reasons rather than the best interests of ALL the people in his state?

I realize it is not just Texas, I participate in the "Conch Republic" party every year (Key West succession) but Texas seems to try and pass this initiative more than any other state.

Of course EVERY major population and money center in Texas voted BLUE. Yes...

Travis Co (Austin)
Bexar (San Antonio)
ALL the southern pennisula counties (Houston+)
El Paso (El Paso)
Dallas (Dallas)

Tahdah! So everyone who thinks we're just painting everything red to cover up all out Romney/Ryan signs can now see, we're a divided state jut like many others. It just so happens a majority of the people prefer the Republicans then the Democrats.

Did you read the article ? The request was written by governor Perry's secretary ,and it was adressed to the Whitehouse.
Since when does the governor acknowledge everything the public asks for,in that way ?
Almost never ?

I honestly don't see that in the article, if you would point it out to me? Though I did read this from his press secretary: "Gov. Perry believes in the greatness of our Union and nothing should be done to change it. But he also shares the frustrations many Americans have with our federal government. Now more than ever our country needs strong leadership from states like Texas, that are making tough decisions to live within their means, keep taxes low and provide opportunities to job creators so their citizens can provide for their families and prosper. We cannot allow Washington’s tax and spend, one-size-fits-all mindset to jeopardize our children’s future, undermine our personal liberties and drive our nation down a dangerous path to greater dependence of government." If I was a betting woman, and I'm not saying I am, I would bet Perry doesn't publicly endorse secession.

We in Britain have not liked the last two Govt,s and we have a good moan about it,but we dont get Counties (states) shouting for home rule,its time for the Texan grumblers to pull their socks up and face facts,if they had put in a good candidate instead of messing about with "Mitt" (what kind of a name is that),they may have had a Rep President.Just because Obama is saying its time to tighten belts doesnt make him a bad President as if "Mitt" had won,he would have had to do the same thing.
