If Texas Secedes, they won't be "America's Team"
Hey, if Texas actually does secede from the US, then the stinkin' Cowboys will no longer be dubbed "America's Team." That might be a favorable side-effect!

The precedent is there, try to secede Texas. Watch what Abraham, i mean Barack, does next.

True, but if any state could succeed on its own, it's Texas.

Out of morbid curiousity, why is that? I think there are other states more suitable personally...like California for instance. But no state is self sustaining enough to be their own country.

California seceeding would be fantastic. They have to leave San Diego though.

I like it here in SD, but it's too expensive. Southern SD is (chula vista and south) is almost useless though. Northern SD is extremely beautiful!

Last I read California cannot even afford what they have going now so how could they make it on their own? I'd say California would be at the bottom of states that could sucede.

....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 didn't say they wouldn't have to claim bankruptcy and the housing market crumble to nothing, but they have everything they need to survive otherwise. If they seceeded millions would move back to the continental US leaving all sorts of open jobs and the money problems fade away. Not saying it's a reality, but just saying Texas is a joke if they think they can survive on their own. Texans always think they are better than everyone else, and what exactly about Texas would we (the USA) miss? West Texas is COMPLETELY useless, and the coast is one of the ugliest in America (minus a few spots). The Dallas area and San Antonio area are nice, but other than that, there is nothing really concrete they offer the US. Oil you say? Well, they are not the #1 producing state of oil in the USA. Cotton would likely be our biggest hit as a nation.

California would be a 3rd-world country without Federal help.
