Spoiler: Neither Perry nor that other candidate who I've never heard of has a chance against Kay Bailey Hutchison. Not because the Wicked Witch is more popular, but because, contrary to what most people think, the Texas Republican elections are mostly run by Oil, Gas and Biglaw types, not wacko populists.

Why stop at secession? Why not apply for Mexican statehood?

Sign up at your local National Guard office. You will be issued a blue wool uniform and musket. The war will be over by Christmas.

Since something like 45% of Texans voted for Obama, I doubt their civil war will make it outside their borders anytime soon.

Well that was a ten gallon hat of stupid.

Bring on your "revolution". Let's turn this place upside down. It won't last long though, as I bet 95% of the people in this country couldn't go 3 days without hot water before curling up and dying.

I love Texas, but god damn do we have some stupid, racist, backwards people. That being said, if the Republic returns, I would try to get a citizenship.

Five stars because my lame state was never independent, yet is still chock full of morons.

no one cares about Texas
and don't anyone dare touch my marginalia
