Pansey Graham has been elected the same number of times as Texas elected John Cornyn. Don't get me started on Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Being a SC resident has many perks. Among them:
I don't have to have a ludicrously big honking inspection sticker on my car to help the police harass me. In fact, I'm 'allowed' to determine the condition of my car MYSELF and repair it accordingly. Novel idea, that.
I don't have to deal with state police thugs conducting checkpoints for the sole purpose of hassling ordinary citizens for minor infractions.
You may have no income tax, but the property taxes on my 3000+sq ft house in a fantastic area are ~$1100/yr. Good luck finding that in Texas.
The more I looked at Texas, the more it looked to me like the New York that I was trying to get the hell away from. I can't quite figure out why, since all the NYers seemed to move to North Carolina, which also didn't make the cut because there are too many damn New Yorkers there.
Good response. Actually I don’t care much for Texas either. That’s why I moved to Asia. However my personal dislike of Linda Graham motivated me to raise a defense of my native state. You are accurate, Texas is a police state. Some 17-year-old kid made a foolish joke about shooting on a video game and Texas state troopers locked him up in a slammer without parole. Property taxes are very high in Texas. With the exception of Ted Cruz, moste-elected GOPers in Texas are Linda Graham clones.
