Discussion: Texas GOPers Vote To Debate Secession At State Convention

Clearly these folks are ignorant of the events of 1861-65. I guess it was too long ago, but I’ll remind them that the last time someone tried this, it did not work out too well.

Please do and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Ever since Texas has become a state that takes more federal money than they pay in under Rick Perry, I see no need to keep them in the union. They won’t like the closure of all those military bases either.

Can the rest of the states pass a resolution saying “Good riddance.” ?

Yes, please secede. Give up your military bases, U.S. government services, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid (hey, all residents of Texas will be foreigners - we don’t have to pay them shit), etc. Try signing a treaty with any nation when you can be blockaded by the U.S. Navy. Yes, please go totally John Galt and pay for your own shit, and see how happy your Teabagger residents are when they finally realize that Baby Jesus ain’t gonna pay to pave their roads and their goddamned cable bills. And have fun protecting yourself from Mexico. Can’t wait to see the fence you build to protect yourselves when YOU have to pay for it. I would love to see Mexico reclaim its former territory, while Washington, D.C. rocks with laughter. Se habla espanol, motherfuckers?
If they do debate secession, I personally think they should be banned from participating in the 2016 election. That is a treasonous act, plain and simple. Secession is sedition.

The last GOP state with any significant number of delegates hits the road. Too bad.

A few back and forth migrations and I foresee happiness in NM.

The Supreme Court ruled in 1869 that states don’t have the right to secede, the report noted.

Texas is not a state, they are a republic. On that note, many others in the union are commonwealths. Texas, please proceed. Please.

Let them go. Then we can build a wall around the place. I’m sure the citizens of New Mexico would build their part for free.

Among the benefits of letting Texas secede is that the Dallas Cowboys will never play in another Super Bowl. They probably won’t anyway, but it never hurts to make sure.

If they vote for secession, which the Constitution prohibits, does that mean the rest of the country can go to war with Texas? If so, I guess that would be one way to get rid of a pain in the tukus state.
