Texas Republicans evenly split on whether to stay in US or secede
http://www.dailykos.com/statepoll/2009/4/22/TX/288
A majority of Texas Republicans support Perry for suggesting that Texas may secede. Ah, what patriots. |

Texas was a country, paid for in blood. Texas and the United States joined as two nations becoming one. Don't you forget that.
6 flags over Texas may become 7. |

Texas won't leave the United States.
The United States may leave Texas, however. REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!!!! |

The actual poll questions were:
QUESTION: Do you think Texas would be better off as an independent nation or as part of the United States of America? QUESTION: Do you approve or disapprove of Governor Rick Perry's suggestion that Texas may need to leave the United States? Neither of those questions was about whether or not Texas should actually secede. Cali's post headline is misleading.

In the US or out, I guarantee you no Texas Republican signed on for a giant "General Betrayus" ad, or tried to declare the surge a failure before it even began.

Too bad Cali isn't here anymore to take his lumps. Well ... no it isn't.

I'm ok with the liberals in AZ splitting off and forming their own state as long as they get no senators, and if they are below average on population per congressman, no reps in Congress either.
