I've seen this thrown around, but I don't think that will happen.

Texas as in how it works is fine for most Texans (except for the new abortion legislation Perry passed this year I think, that was a horrible idea that brought a lot of shit into the surface) overall people are fine and dandy, even Democrats, with how Texas runs its government. There's more things that could be done for the betterment of Texas, but it's not like becoming a battleground state will place us squarely into a route of radical changes.

California is in serious debt because of Schwarzenneger. To fix this, he tried to slash public funding, which is why California's infrastructure, education, and roads are pretty awful compared to other states.

Texans are already seen as a joke, makes no difference

Texas is a great state. You and many other people have never been to texas! You've never eaten texas BBQ. You've never seen small towns in texas on friday nights. When football rules. You've never been to a texas a&m game, nor a UT football game and see the tradition! You've never seen the hot texas women! Other then some of our government leaders, texas is a great state with nice people. Unless you piss us off. Then we're going to be on your ass with guns. Texans love guns and hunting!

The only UT football game I watch and try to attend out of tradition is the UT/OU game :p

But yes, Texas is a great state to live in. Hot as shit (and I'm sure you have also experienced the heat this summer as well as I have) but nice to live nevertheless.

Perry only did damage to himself really, having that said.

Yeah, well we'll see. Perry is a good governor at times, other times, he gives me the impression of being crazy.

Yea, our politics and the logic of our legislation and Perry have been pretty awful as of late.

In fact, haven't we been a joke since Perry got into office?

Has it been hotter in other areas? I haven't gone much out of Dallas to notice.

But yea, Perry sometimes bothers me. I don't know what he's thinking or why at times.

He wasn't a nut job, he was just incredibly incompetent. And, if he tried to be a Reagan, he succeeded, since Reagan was also incompetent. But, that's for another thread.

Anyways, as Farnhamia already mentioned, the debt has gone down since Jerry Brown was elected, and the quality of public services has most certainly increased in the state. California's current democratic incumbent is pretty great.

Seems Brown is also planning on having something similar to the Texas' rainy fund, which will be interesting to see if they can pull it off.

If Texas becomes a blue state, they'll still be able to hold onto such cultural things that define the state.

Not counting that! But friday night football, BBQ , rodeos, the state fair, college football, NFL football! All of that! Makes texas a great state in my book! Not including the god damn heat!


Everything is okay with the state fair, except the new abominations of stuff just dumped into a deep fry and then selling it and us scratching our heads in wonder at what are the blobs of fried stuff put in front of us and marked as "edible".
