Republicans are finished

You really want to live in a place where this imbecile is in charge?

Hey wasn't he behind home plate at Wrigley's Field?

[Nitro Express]

If that happens I'm moving to Texas...

My father in law is a Texan and he flat out told us if Texas leaves the union he's moving back there. The thing that is pushing towards that more than anything is the federal government not doing it's job defending the border. People joke but I wouldn't be surprised to see another term of Obama be the catalyst that makes it happen. I know a lot of people who used to live in California move to Texas due to the unfriendly business attitude in Cali.

Texas has one of if not the best economies in the country. They would do well to become their own nation.
Doesn't matter if a shmuck runs the place.

It is a very well run state despite who's in the governors office... I lived there 14 years. It's amazing they manage the whole government and maintain their infrastructure with no personal income tax. Plus their property taxes are lower than many states. If Texas succeeded I'd probably go back.

I think most people would be surprised how many people in the South would be for succession...

Same with Tennessee. No income tax and third best credit rating in the country behind South Dakota and Iowa.

Maybe they should all move to Florida to make it easier? (see the Bugs Bunny cartoon in Chefcraig's signature)

We would allow the sane Floridians to move north, of course. You can keep the Batista fan club and the "World Church Of The Creator" wackjobs though.

Why? They get back more in federal pork than they pay in taxes?

[Dr. Love]

In Texas it's something like 85 cents for every dollar we pay in taxes, so we pay more than we get.

Secession is always a popular idea in Texas ... probably always will be. And yes, we don't pay income taxes and generally do very well economically. A lot of companies move here, and a lot of people come move here to get work.

You can always get a job in Houston. The only people who can't get a job in Houston are the ones too lazy to work and want to game the system.

What amazed me is how pretty the women are in Texas. There are some real hotties down there.

Absolutely, spent a few days in Dallas in '00, including a Skins/Cowboys game.... Holy hell, beautiful women everywhere....

Dallas is a very superficial town. It's all about what car you drive, what your girl looks like, what your job title is, how big your house is.

A lot of people spend themselves into serious debt for the sake off appearances.

[ZahZoo]

Yep... Dallas is all about appearances. Austin is the anti-Dallas it's all about your freaky angle...

Indeed beautiful women abound in the Lone Star state. That's where I met my wife and all my kids were born there. I've earned every grey hair on my head having 3 beautiful daughters and keeping boys in check around them!!

It's a known fact that the South has the hottest women!

One of my best friends has lived in Dallas for close to a decade now and says pretty much the same thing... he also says the stupid is strong there...

It's also a known fact that the majority of them migrate to Los Angeles...
