Romney/Ryan Lose 2012 Election Thread

We put them down once, and we'll do it again if need be.

This. If these far-right Texans are gonna keep up with this secession talk, they better be ready to make good on it and live with the consequences. That, or sane Texans need to tell their less sane neighbors to sit down and shut up.

Personally, I think if Texas wants to go, let em!

[brandymac27]

If someone really feels aligned with "the left" they shouldn't keep trying to "correct" the current state of "the right" or of Fox News, from a strategic standpoint.

They should encourage it.

It's like endorsing a failing strategy for your opponent. They should want to see it continue, like Jerry Jones being GM for the Cowboys.

This is spot on. Let them continue to self destruct. So far, they're doing a wonderful job!

If Texas goes we have to dump California too. Gotta try to keep things level and balanced.

If Texas goes we have to dump California too. Gotta try to keep things in homeostasis and balanced.

But you don't hear any crazy talk like that coming from California. Like Brandy said, if they want to go, let them. Perry started it:

I guess it sounds "cool" as a TP member in Texas.

It should surprise no one that this bigoted POS was chosen to help review public school textbooks in Texas.

There you go pushing that homeostasis agenda down our throats.

I meant it as a light hearted comment. As far as laws and cases, Texas is a different world. The whole Tulia,Texas situation being one good example. They certainly are a different political breed and operate on their own set of rules.

I'm a big fan of different rules.

It's the different realities I have a problem with.

I wouldn't mind kicking out some of the **** hole red states that are subsidized by blue states. At the same time they're sucking off the liberal tit with food stamps medicaid and welfare they're bitching and moaning about Obama and big government. If we booted ungrateful red states like Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama, or west Virginia, those GOP voting hicks would end up living in third world conditions in no time.

Seems like you would put your liberal tit back in it's place, but them you would have to quit your ungrateful chicks mother hen routine.

much easier to continue the problems while whining

I have pointed this out before, but the western 2/5 of Texas really ought to be carved out and made into a sovereign looney colony for those heat-stricken "secessionists" who don't immediately turn tail and crawl back underneath their spotless garage-kept pickups as soon as they're told to put their money where their mouths are (and we all know where that is -- so watch out for paper cuts if you're using cash, fellas).

A north-south line running just west of Abilene would put all parts of Texas from San Angelo westward into a new, arable, endlessly drillable, landlocked nation. Driven by the collective academic braintrust of the greater Lubbock area, the new land's juggernaut economy would be fueled by cow &#!%, oil, and little else once the US government cotton subsidies stop coming for obvious reasons and the Amarillo metropolitan area secedes to rejoin Texas -- taking most of the new nation's aquifer with it. Lake Alan Henry, we hardly knew ye.

In honor of its neighbors and its biggest and only non-agro corporate sponsor, the obvious name for this new hellhole nation would be New Texaco.

The Big 12 as the nation's first international top-line athletics conference -- who would have guessed?

I've got an idea... How about those good ole red state boys start taking care of business in their ****hole states and stop relying on federal tax dollars. some of these red states are no different than third world countries where everyone is corrupt and nobody does **** for anyone. This is why they're broke all the time. no shared resources upon which people can get ahead because it's more important to "keep my money!" than to build something upon which you can make much more money off of and be much more productive. Education is a perfect example. Most on the right don't give a **** about education... It's a liability that keeps "Job Creators" from "keeping their money!" they don't realize that more educated people do less menial work build a wealthier more progressive society. This is exactly why states like massachusetts will always be wealthy and states like Mississippi will always be poor ****holes.

Don't include any rule violations in your replies to tds for a moment, or even extend too much energy over his "contributions" here, is my suggestion.

Back in a moment.

Ok. In case some people might benefit from knowing, the level of content in tds posts is well into rule 12 violation territory. Since he's got a clean record, he's only gone for two weeks.

Some folks here were lucky to survive the weeks before the election. Let's not make it worse now that the biggest drama should be passed.

I also suggest people re-read (or just read) rule 5 (and 12) and see what it says about the level of discourse we seek here---we like to keep it somewhere between wimpy and angry *******--- and re-commit yourselves accordingly. You don't have to be neutered, just avoid excessive dumbass stomping and snorting.
