6. Why not just give them a couple of the most God forsaken counties
in Texas if they want out so bad? This is our country, we're in the majority. I say we set aside just one small landlocked corner of Texas and stipulate that as part of granting their independence we can deport any disgruntled right wingers to it and they have to take them.

9. All Republicans should move to Texas after it secedes, and we'll put walls up
in Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Arkansas to keep the riff raff out.

Please make sure the entire Bush family is in Texas at the time.

10. Other
There would have to be an exchange program. All liberals who want to leave should be located free of charge to any blue state and a corresponding number of right wingers need to leave the blue states and go to Texas. We can't leave our fellow liberals behind.

11. No. We just need another great governor like Ann Richards
instead of the idiot we currently have.

This whole thing is silly. :eyes:

19. Me too! But that was a long time ago. I'd be "grandmothered" in I am sure.
But there'd be a huge stink if I tried to run for president...

16. Texas: The place you can look the farthest and see the least.
"Life in Lubbock, Texas, taught me two things: One is that God loves you and you're going to burn in hell. The other is that sex is the most awful, filthy thing on earth and you should save it for someone you love." - Butch Hancock

20. as long as they agree to take florida with them.
it could be very cathartic, nationally...like when you don't shit for two days, and then drop a 5-pounder- and how great you feel right after...THAT'S what it could do for our national psyche.
