Perry actually leans too moderate... he ain’t fringe. These people know that, they are just blowing steam for the media

I personally think secession is wrong. The correct approach is to kick liberals out.
To: meandog
Today, Texas State Sen. Rodney Ellis (D) rightly condemned his state's very fringe Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) for his unconstitutional and outrageously dishonest rant about Texas secession: Apparently the author is far too busy to bother himself to look up the Texas State Constitution Article 1, Sections 1 and 2; which explictly state that Texas does IN FACT reserve the right to leave the USA at will. Further, Texas can divide itself into 5 seperate states (at will) and the USA explictily does not get a voice in that decision. This is a benefit that Texas drove when the USA asked Texas to join the United States. Texas agreed, upon conditions laid out in their state constitution.
But, you know how liberals and education mix about as well as oil and water.

Today, Perry said that Texas should stay in the Union.Ptobably because "Mission Accomplished" and "Read My Lips" called up in tandem to read him the riot act!

“If they did, the Republican Party would not win another presidential election in my lifetime”
Well, they haven’t won the past two elections, the GOP leadership currently has no balls, and, if they don’t get back to conservatism, they won’t win another election.
But, if Texas seceded and all of us conservatives left the USSA, what would we care?
While the USSA goes straight to hell under the tyranny of Comrade Barack Obama, we conservatives in Texas would be living in prosperity and freedom.

Pretty tough talk from the party that ran to New Mexico and Oklahoma because they weren't getting their way.

Not just "fringe", but "very fringe"... Soon comedians will find themselves out of job due to heavy competition from the democratic politicians.

The only way to settle this is for the rest of the nation to secede from Texas. But, of course, then Ill be moving to the Lone Star Republic! Go TEXAS!!
To: meandog
How does this nitwit figure "unconstitutional" in what Perry said?

We could keep the same map. And divide into 5 states and get 10 senators from Texas? The Dems would pop a critical vessel.
