Texas may be one of the only states that could be a viable country. A better than average economy, oil and wind farms, it's own energy grid, a very large water supply, etc. etc.
So all y'all

Let me guess, it's the half that still hasn't gotten over the Civil war, but at least they love Lincoln now...

By the way Dan, is that guy the host of some pro wrestling show? That's what their set reminds me of.
I'm one of the Texas republicans that just wants Dan to lose his internet access.
I'm a Spurs fan yes, but I am also a Virginian and a proud American, and frankly I welcome the day Texas decides to secede.
Go ahead and leave, I mean jesus, your state damn near destroyed this country with the Bush gang anyway.
Texans are ing re ed
The Rasmussen poll from a week ago found that 17% of Texans want to secede. Still too high a number, mind you, but it doesn't jive with "half of TX Republicans" as this *Daily Kos* poll claims.
You're ing re ed.
Wait, wait, wait....
Does this mean that a state income tax is in our future? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. OBAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
17% of Texans (may I presume they vote Republican?) who don't want to be Americans is still pretty amazing, especially for all the outrage about Mic e Obama's remarks during the election and Democrats wanting to leave Iraq.
not exactly the best way to refute his point now, is it?
Responding with an insult to an insult? you too.
No legal way to do it.
what's wrong with seceding? State's rights to leave the Union are spelled out in the cons ution aren't they? Or did they Amend that part out...
we don't need no stinkin' Federal Government telling us what to do...!
edit: didn't see chump's comment above... is that true?
Texas v. White and international law (if one wants to go that route) say it ain't happening.
If you really want to do it, get yer gun and go for it. These things don't have a history of going well, however.
this is just for show
republicans are all playing these little psychological games to try and gain ground again with voters.
they hurt bad in the bush years, got beatdown in 2006 and lost the white house in 2008
stop paying attention to these frauds. they are just doing it for attention to smear the Dems as if the repubs had nothing to do with the state we are in right now.
How American of them.
I'm an old guy. way back I remember studying the cons ution and I thought states right to leave was something that the framers positively put in. I know, I know, it's different now.
no thanks, I'm not one of those seccessionist wackos.If you really want to do it, get yer gun and go for it.
There might be something in the Articles of Confederation about it, but not the Cons ution.
probably right... i'ts been a of a long time since I studied this junk
edit: ok, did some checking... you were right, TX vs White says no can do.
see what you can learn hanging out on ST...![]()
Texas lost any "right" to succeed or whatever when it was conquered in the civil war.
end of story.
besides the fact that it wouldn't help the texas economy at all because economies don't just disappear at arbitrary lines drawn on the ground.

I know you're clueless to how the real world works, much less how our federal government works, but help with the swing flu is something that the federal government should be providing. This thing could blow up into a pandemic, and frankly the CDC has the resources in place to attack this best.
But go on with your Republican hate, boutonsbot.
That's the way *violent extremists* talk. Besides,
Declare the causes, 4cc.a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
Natural rights chime with human dignity but in fact depend on power. Rights are always granted and protected by the political power. Once power ceases to defend your rights -- or the people fail to assert them -- for all practical purposes they cease to exist.
