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.

How about the east and west coast secede and we let you regressives fend for yourselves.

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!!

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

Lots of countries in the world are smaller than these states.

Besides, don’t these states have nukes?

Forces to be reckoned with indeed.

I’m sorta joking but even so there are reasons to secede. After Bush’s Patriot Act and Transportation Security Administration which is a blueprint of Soviet style travel restrictions and Reagan’s drug war mandatory urine tests and Obama signing in the NDAA, there is little or no freedom left in this country.
Anyway, the book Ecotopia suggested in 1975 that the NW secede and nothing came of that.
My point is the left coast would suceed while the fly over states would not do as well on their own.

Paris, Texas? Ever been there?

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.

Reminds me of the hollywood libs when Bush got elected. Except they never left.

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.

No. :-) But I saw the movie.
A mixture of a Casablanca quote with Wenders Paris, Texas
Before I posted, I checked to see if such a place existed. It does.
Glad you caught the reference. ;-)

@motivemagus “Evidently some people thought it was a reality show and could vote ten times.”
Ha! And this coming from supporters of a party which used “voter fraud” as one of its central planks. It seems most of these folks are also out of touch with reality.

The sheriff ran me out of Paris, Texas one night years ago. I didn’t mind. It was a great Western Movie Moment, and I had seen nothing that would cause me to linger. The sheriff had great lines; “Just follow that road to the edge of town AND DON’T LOOK BACK!”

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