REALITY HITS SECESSIONISTS

Texas Governor Perry wanted to secede from the Union because the Federal Government was getting so oppressive. Now he wants help from the Federal Government to fight the Swine Flu outbreak. Come on Perry, you can't have it both ways.

Rachel Maddow had San Francisco Mayer Gavin Newsom on last night, who by the way, is running against Arnold for Governor of California.

Perry is a liar. It's obvious that he says whatever he thinks will win him marks with his constituents. It's pretty evident that he doesn't care about truth, or about what is necessary or good for the people of this state, but rather he only cares about what he has to do to get re-elected.

Having lived there and seeing firsthand how fucked up most of that state is, I say let them secede! And go, Gavin!

AWQM - You, and the rest of the liberals living in Texas, have my deepest sympathies for what you have to deal with down there.

Sounds like politics as usual.

Riot Kitty - The Rethugs in California started about 2 weeks ago trying to slam Newsom and make him look like a heel.

I love it. Such tough talk from the Texas Republican'ts and this is where they end up: hat in hand asking Uncle Sam for help. Irony's a bitch, ain't it? LOL

Oooo, I know: if they secede, let's lease back the sections of our interstate highways that remain in Texas. Make 'em pay tolls to drive on our highways!

And if they have oil... invade them, overthrow their ruler, and seize their resources like we would if they were in the middle east!

ZIRGAR - They don't want the Feds taxing their people, but when there's a natural disaster, or something like a flu outbreak, they start demanding taxpayer dollars from the rest of the country.

Fuck 'em!

Shea - I'd be for building that fence and cut them off from the rest of the country. We could do it for mental health reasons. All that stupid down there could infect the rest of the country.
