    Asher's prediction about me may come sooner than he thinks.

    ACK!

      It's all a bunch of political pandering. The Republicans have proposed no coherent solutions to our problems, all they can do is criticize the Democrats' plans. So Republicans are hopping on the bandwagon with these stupid "tea parties" to rail against government spending...despite the fact that the Republicans doubled the national debt and led the country from a $200bn surplus to deficit spending of $500bn.

      This all boils down to

      1.) Republican politicians needing some kind of political platform/message to help them get reelected
      2.) Republicans sore about losing the presidential election
      3.) Nut jobs ("Get yer kids out of college, they're being brainwashed! Burn the books!") and bigots ("Obama's a Muslim! He's black! He's the Antichrist! Socialism!")

        Where did you yank that from? I can guess.

            Perry attended the 2007 meeting in Turkey. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but you'd probably think there is.
            Unbelievable!

                  Texan cuisine is more compelling than the Quebecois'.

                  Also, losing Texas wouldn't cleave our country in two.
                  If the other states you mentioned also left, do you really think Kansas and Oklahoma would stick around?

                    Seriously, if Texas wants to secede and set itself up as the Grand Libertarian Experiment, I'd love it. We can watch. If it works, then Texas will be a shining example for us to emulate.

                    The worry is that it won't really be a Libertarian experiment. It'll be a "conservative" (read: Republican, social conservative, militaristic, etc) one. But hey, g'head.

                      Governor Rick Perry is facing stiff competition in the next election. Apparently he believes talking treason will help his chances.

                      It'd be interesting seeing him trying to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. "...one nation [mumble, mumble], with liberty..."

                      BTW: I'm still waiting to hear one "right" the federal government is trampling on.

                        You'd move to Utah?

                        Man, I'd move to Texas if they seceded. It would be awesome. So much better then here in Canada. Texas

                          And if it does, what does that say about the Texas GOP.

                            Point taken. But it's not like those states actually add much that I care for, so. After all, the reason why OK has so many tornados is because Kansas blows and Texas sucks.
