The Free Republic of Texas

Hey, I like the idea

However Texas should be split and one part, where silly redneck lives, would secede and other park, where sane Texans lives, just like our buddy Historico, would stay

Also all insane Oklahomians should move to insane part of Texas, allowing sane Oklahomians, like our other Buddy Mechman, to stay

Define "insane Oklahomans".
Are you merely talking about the far right extremist "let's kill abortionists and arrest gay people" Republicans, or does this also include the Republicrats, err I mean Zell Miller wannabe Democrats (hey guys, Robert Kerr and Fred Harris are rolling in their graves) who make Frank Keating look liberal? Because I can imagine both supporting a Texas secession.

Fred Harris is not dead!

And, regarding the question, I meant mostly "let's kill abortionists and arrest gay people" Republicans, esspecially after I checked list of OK curreny congressional delegation.

Whoops, retard moment on my part. He's probably rolling in his retirement home bed.

Contrary to popular belief...Texas can not seceed from the Union, Perry might be dumb as nails but he isn't crazy. The only thing the Texas could do is divide it'self into 5 soverign states, which would probably give the Republican's a few more seats to stand up to the Democratic majority. If we indeed did try to seceed from the Union, since I attend University in Denton, it's like a two hour drive then im in Oklahoma lol.

Actually wouldn't that also help the Democrats since the big cities in Texas trend toward Democrats? Especially if one state has Houston and Corpus Christi, another state has Austin and San Antonio, one state has Dallas/Ft. Worth, and one state has El Paso and Laredo (at least I think it is). That would leave only the Panhandle and the really conservative part of West Texas as the only places of Republican dominance.

But it is your state, so correct me if I'm wrong.
