Texas Gov. Declares State Sovereignty

I've talked to a LOT of people who said they would move to Texas if we seceded.
Guys, I think at this point we're moving into alternative universe territory with this one. We might as well be debating whether the Klingons or Romulans would win an interstellar war.
Point?
An attempt at humor to point out that I think the chance of Texas or any other state seceding is so enormously remote that after a while arguing about it in a lot of detail takes on an air of unreality.
Absolutely no offense taken. We are obviously at this point in the game talking opinions. Like those you have stated below.
I really don't know why the Democratic party shouldn't embrace him. I'm still trying to remember the last entry that had a chance....wait was that 1991
I can only say that I have not heard or read anything regarding that issue from him. I am more than a little sceptical until I hear him say it.
I wouldn't characterize his campaign as a publicity stunt anymore than any other. All of the campaigns involve considerable amounts of self promotion.
Of coarse its remote (unless you're a Klingon). The whole point of the threat made by Gov. Perry in the first place was not to declare secession, but to stand up to the federal government.

I'm pretty certain that we have had numerous people say that it isn't going to happen. Given that, sometimes it's entertaining to discuss unrealistic hypothetical scenarios.
Mr. Clean, thank you for not taking offence to my post. We are all here for a common purpose, and politics is not that purpose. But in regards to Obsessed's post; this is a discussion thread. I have not seen anybody get ugly or argumentive.
I did not actually read anything concerning Mr. Friedman's secession comments. It was hearsay but I did find it interesting.
Thanks again, Mr. Clean!

Fair enough.
By the way, my prior post made me remember a joke made by, I think, Shane in the Star Trek colognes thread that may be the funniest things I've seen on this entire website. If you haven't seen that thread, you really owe it to yourselves to check it out.
On a more serious note, I have to confess that I don't normally follow Texas politics. I gather Perry is in a fight for the GOP nomination with Hutchinson. What do the polls say now?
I don't think so either. I was just making a little joke that came to me as I was thinking that when I started wetshaving, I never imagined I'd end up following an online discussion thread about secession.
No worries, sir!
I know it can get mundane, but it is interesting to discuss it. Down here it is actually pretty big news.

Thanks, I tend to joke around a lot, and I know that tone doesn't always come across on these things. One of the things I actually enjoy about this site is being exposed to points of view I don't always encounter in my day-to-day life. Even if you guys are nuts! (joke)
was by far the best post (& on one of the funniest threads) that I've seen on this whole site. DL, don't get too polite out here in public, it could cast Texans as civil and gentlemanly instead of the rough and ready onery rapscallions which we truly are. Perhaps we should sling a little mud so our reputations are not otherwise sulliedMr. Clean, thank you for not taking offence to my post.

I am as nutty as a fruitcake. But then again, we all have a certain degree of nuttiness!
BTW, I have been on cigar forums and here long enough to know that things can come off sounding different typed than actually spoken.

If by "you guys" you mean ya'll and by ya'll you mean us Texas boys...then I thank you for the compliment.
Since we're getting into hypotheticals, do you think that they'd throw the Texas teams out of the Big 12 if Texas secedes? If so, would that cause anyone to reconsider their position on the issue?
Quite frankly, I'm all for a revival of the good ol' SWC.
I truly long for that great cartoonist (can't seem to recall his name) who did the weekly lineups in the DMN.
