Poll: Texas Republicans Approve Of Rick Perry's Secession Remarks
By Eric Kleefeld - April 23, 2009, 2:54PM

A new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll finds that Rick Perry's suggestion at the Tea Party last week, that Texas might have to secede from the Union, actually has significant support from his home state's Republican voters.

One question: "Do you think Texas would be better off as an independent nation or as part of the United States of America?" The top-line number is United States 61%, independent nation 35%. Among Republicans, it's a dead-even tie at 48%-48%.

And then there's this one: "Do you approve or disapprove of Governor Rick Perry's suggestion that Texas may need to leave the United States?" The top-line is only 37% approval to 58% disapproval -- but among Texas Republicans, it's 51% approval to 44% disapproval.

What do you expect from a state that elected Dumbya governor and voted for him for President multiple times?
Say, Dumbya would presumably be eligible for the Texas Presidency once they secede. Think they'll vote him in?

As Jon Stewart pointed out, by improving relations with Cuba, it looks like Texas is barely out the door and Obama is already shopping for it's replacement.

What a deal. Cubans are well educated and highly literate.

Plus, think of all the dumb asses that would move to Texas just to get the full right-wing nirvana experience. This would release the pressure on the rest of the US, the scales would be tipped and and sanity would prevail.

Unfortunately, Texas would quickly become such an unmitigated disaster, we would have to go in and save them from themselves, if only for humanitarian reasons. The suffering would be horrible.

Yea to all of the above plus no mutual defense treaties with the U.S.A. If Mexico wants their land back let Texas fight them on their own and
after they lose call it Tex-Mexaco.
