Boy: I hate vegetables... I want to secede from this family! Girl 1: Who do you think you are... Texas? Girl 2: I say let him go... he makes the rest of us look bad!
You are either being sarcastic (which I hope you are) or you have absolutely no idea of just how the economy of this country works. It IS those very states on the coasts where by far the greater amount of industry and economic wealth (with the possible exception of the so called rust belt through the north) IS located. It would be the middle western and southern states that would struggle by far the most.
Please do not encourage our own ultra conservative fanatics in such states as California in their own delusions!!
The nut cases are not confined to Texas. Louisiana had, at last count, more signature than Texas (which is pretty scary considering the population difference), and there were signature from over 20 states including some which were blue. Our problem goes way beyond one state.
Only one third of the email addresses were “unique,” suggesting that there were nowhere near as many people as a simple count of signatures would suggest. Evidently some people thought it was a reality show and could vote ten times.
…I thought sheriffs running people out of town was a movie thing, like in Smokey & the Bandit (or something similar). :-|Mind you, being run out of Paris, Texas sounds cool. ;-)

Yep, good luck Texas. You’ll have to raise your state taxes considerably to make up for what you get from the rest of us states through the Feds.

Go, Texas, go. No one will miss you. Take your racist ignorance and leave. Here, I’ll hold the door for you.

I was hoping Sandy would wash the Northeast out into the Atlantic. The area needs a bath.
