Let's say you relocated the People's Republic of Austin to Berkeley. Or even (God forbid) brought em here, to our beloved blue college town of Charlottesville.
Would there be a single liberal left in Texas?
The Rio Grande valley and Beaumont.
It’s more like 75% if you take out the inner cities, much of Austin, and the Rio Grande Valley. Even the Rio Grande is conservative, but they are fooled by government promises and vote for Democrats.
I was sorta expecting, “43 percent of Lone Star State residents identify as “conservatives” while the rest simply said, “Mind your own damned business!”...;’}
43% is more than enough to get a real state sovereignty movement rolling in Texas. I plan to actively encourage Governor Perry to stick to his stated position regarding 10th Amendment protections if this crap sandwich health bill passes.
Bet it’s more than that. Even some of liberals here are conservative.
Man, I love this state.
Please secede Texas, please. Americans need a sanctuary to escape liberal fascism. Where else can we go? Australia?
Don't let polls like this confuse you... Don't forget Texas has major metropolitan areas in Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio all of which aren't necessarily conservative.
There are many democrats that will answer a question tht they are conservative and are in many ways.
Today the Texas State House is 76 - 74 GOP. The GOP has lost seats in the last few elections and after redistricting may well loose the House. The state Senate is safely GOP but that may close under redistricting.
Statewide elective offices have been held by the GOP for a few years now. But as I said the conservative adjective isn't synonymous with how one will vote.
If you want to get rid of liberals in your state, it only requires two policies:
End entitlements - the freeloading sheep leave for greener pastures.
Make it impossible for government at any level to control people’s lives - the leftist elitists will be gone before you can say “know better”.
Yes yes, you can play with numbers all you want but the only two States that had NO counties go Democrat in recent elections are Utah and Nebraska.
I like the headline, but what people say and how they vote is not always the same. Dallas, Houston and Austin are all run by liberals. Dallas elected a lesbian sherrif and replaced every republican in our court system in the last election. Houston may soon have a lesbian as their mayor and Austin is the home of more liberals than you can imagine. San Antonio has been in the hands of Democrats for 25 years. If it was not for the suburbs and the rural areas of TX sending conservatives to government we would be in big big trouble.
