If Texas Secedes, they won't be "America's Team"

[saden1]

....and most Texans would prefer to stay in the Union, 75% of them in fact. That's 15 points higher than expect. Rick Perry is done for.

Why is he done for? He didn't say he WANTED to secede. He said they could if they wanted to. I think he was basically just asserting the right. It's not like he started some movement to leave the Union.

I believe all this talk is to shore up his "conservative" creds. Hutchinson can flip the scripts on his ass and claim "we're Americans, and always will be. Secession talk irresponsible and if we want to take back our country we should elect officials such as myself to represent you at home and in Washington."

I agree. I just don't think he is done. It actually makes me laugh how we have politicians coming out of the woodwork talking about how bad politicians are. The irony is thick. I feel like telling Perry, "Hey I agree you should have the right to leave if you want. Other than that you are a douche just like every other politician in this country. A squirrel trying to get a nut."

I am wary of politicians (basically all of them) who all of a sudden have things to say. Especially things that magically resonate with current political undertones. Funny how that happens.

I believe in being classy and leaving somethings unsaid for nothing good would come of them. One shouldn't for example bring up how you tea-bagged your wife the night before at a formal dinner in front of guests.

I don't see it as unclassy. Just pandering rhetoric. And I think he'd disagree that "nothing good would come from them".

It is unbecoming of a governor to talk of secession. He may disagree but that doesn't mean he is right. He is either a remarkably a stupid man or disingenuous.
