Hey Governor Perry if you want Texas to secede say bye to your military bases, highways, mail. . .

[wndycty]

. . .VA, agriculture funds, etc.

Go ahead, play that game secede from the US of A and give up all the benefits of being a part of this great country. Buh bye.

[maxsolomon]

1. bye?

nt

[wndycty]

3. Yeah . . .if Texas wants to declare its sovereignty it should be on its own. . .

. . .when it comes to services that the federal government provides.

[maxsolomon]

5. well obviously.

i've wanted them out of the union my whole life.

[damntexdem]

14. Hey, there are some blue counties here; and more all the time.

And Perry's reelection is in some doubt.

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. And the next time a hurricance wallops your coastline don't call the Feds.

27. You guys lost. Lololololol!

[kestrel91316]

4. If TX seceded and became an independent country, how long would

it be before the US started throwing its weight around and bullying the poor place for its oil and other resources, lol??? They'd find themselves WISHING they were still part of the US if they pissed us off and we did something like, say declare them a rogue state, or declared war against them.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Rick, you dumbass.

[TheWraith]

7. I'd sign up for the Army to get in on that. :D nt

[kestrel91316]

15. Yeah, we could invade and take the land back, and throw all the

recalcitrants in Gitmo. And make it into a couple of new states, and retire the name "Texas" to the dustbin of history.

[muryan]

19. "Bullying the poor place"

Seriously...?

[rfranklin]

6. We would be rid of the Bush family at last....

No visas for immigrants from Texas!

[JayMusgrove]

8. What a great fantasy!

I can see Bush and Laura prisoners in Texas... come to think about it...


I wonder if part of this has to do with trying to protect Bush from federal charges.

[csziggy]

13. But wasn't George Jr. born in Connecticut?

We could get rid of Jeb, which would be great - but only if a Constitutional amendment were passed that rescinded the citizenship of everyone born in Texas while it was a US state.

[depakid]

9. Let 'em keep em (we can negotiate on the contracts)

Sort of like sports trades- sometimes, talent ain't worth the cancer in the locker room....;)

[Ishoutandscream2]

10. Well, while some of you seem to be enjoying this

This Texan is absolutely livid! Does this SOB really think he speaks for all of Texas? My God, this is just pure insanity. Goodhair needs to get himself committed, and quick.

[jody]

11. Good point but TX ranks 29th in per capita federal welfare and is just one of the majority of states

that are part of the Sovereignty Movement

Per capita federal welfare expenditures by state

[tammywammy]

26. What???? You mean there are OTHER states passing sovereignty resolutions

That has to be impossible. I see nary a word about these other states on here.

:evilgrin:

[Terry in Austin]

12. Perry: good hair, no brains

This part of Resolution 50 is choice:

...that all compulsory federal legislation ...that requires states to pass legislation or lose federal funding, be prohibited or repealed.

So it's like, We have the right to ignore you, but you'd better still give us money, you mean old federal gubmint!

:eyes:

[indimuse]

16. Exactly!

Toodles! I think we are in for some berry berry strange days ahead... hehe..

KNR!

[PretzelWarrior]

17. they would just be absorbed into Mexico.

That would be hilarious.

[AZ Criminal JD]

20. Ahh, Mexico tried that once

Didn't work out too well for them. And that was when Mexico was a lot stronger than it is now and Texas was a lot weaker.

[CTyankee]

18. Could someone clue me in? Did Perry actually SAY he wanted TX to secede

from the U.S.? TX did that once and got whupped along with the other Confederate States.

Why is this being discussed seriously?

[AtomicKitten]

21. They can build that fence between Texas and the US

and let Mexico have its way with them. That'll be fun.

[old mark]

23. Yeah, and the next time you have a hurricane come through , fix it

yourself - no more Federal aid for Texas!!!

mark

[ribrepin]

24. Kick the Dallas Cowboys out of the NFL while we're at it

That should stop all talk of secession.

28. Also, say "goodbye" to your chances for a national office

who wants a senator or a representative or a president that advocates withdrawal from the Union?

Imagine those campaign ads against him. :rofl:

The idiots don't even think, they just get caught up in the emotion. :evilgrin:
