First of all 75% of your fellow Texans are against it.

Where do you get that figure? I wasn’t asked, and I know of no one that was...

> First of all 75% of your fellow Texans are against it.

1) How far into the Obama presidency was that poll taken?

2) In this "poll", did the pollsters only ask a handful of pantywaist Liberals at the UT Austin campus?

3) What percentage of people do you think were pro-Revolution in 1776?

To answer the third question, if you know a lick about Revolutionary history, it was far less than 100 percent.

It was risky and not for the faint of heart. Many Loyalists wouldn't do it of their own accord because they liked being NEW England, were too weak-kneed to even join the Revolutionary Army (fearing retaliation from the King) OR afraid they couldn't make it alone.
