Texas Republican Wants State To Leave U.S. Over Obama Win

[JRLeft]

A Republican official in Texas called for his state to separate from the United States and the “maggots” who reelected President Barack Obama in a newsletter he sent out this week. Peter Morrison, who serves as treasurer of the Hardin County Republican Party, wrote in his post-election newsletter that there was a clear solution to the problem of Obama’s re-election.

“We must contest every single inch of ground and delay the baby-murdering, tax-raising socialists at every opportunity,” Morrison wrote. “But in due time, the maggots will have eaten every morsel of flesh off of the rotting corpse of the Republic, and therein lies our opportunity.”

“Texas was once its own country, and many Texans already think in nationalist terms about their state. We need to do everything possible to encourage a long-term shift in thinking on this issue. Why should Vermont and Texas live under the same government? Let each go her own way in peace, sign a free trade agreement among the states and we can avoid this gut-wrenching spectacle every four years,” he wrote.

The contents of the letter were first reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Morrison also wrote that “many members of minority groups are simply racist against the party most white people happen to vote for.” He singled out Asian Americans, who he said should be Republican “as they earn more money and pay more in taxes than white Americans.”

Boy Texas has some real winners.

[KelleyD]

1. Good luck with that

What are you seceding to Mexico...As far as I'm concerned...go ahead!

[rcmojo66]

35. More Obama supporters in Texas than nearly every state in the union

3.2 million votes. All of you in the "good riddance" camp, stop and think about that. There is more Obama love in Texas than many of your states combined.

[Politicalboi]

2. Please go already

Get your own military, money, streets, schools, banks, and pay taxes on imports from other states, passports, and government. I hope they do all that, and Mexico invades and takes it back.

Oh and they MUST be tattooed as a GOP Texan so they can't crawl back when Mexico invades.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

16. I'll give the ignorant douche cab fare

I hear Australia is nice...

[earthside]

5. Let 'em go ...

... give statehood to Puerto Rico and we won't even have to change the flag.

I would like to see the Texans reimburse the United States for all the infrastructure we've built for them ... and for moving Johnson Space Center and for the military installations the U.S. has there.

Other than that ... 'Bye Y'all!'

6. Texas Republican Wants State To Leave U.S. Over Obama Win

Wasn't that tried back in 1861?

[barbiegeek]

7. Can't he & all the morons just leave Texas & US and buy an island move there

[MassedPole]

8. Good let them leave. But dont give them federal aid.

USA is better without Texas.

Cut texas and let Puerto Rico Join the Union. Still have 50 states.

[thelordofhell]

9. After Puerto Rico becomes a state, we wouldn't even have to change the flag!!

Bye Bye Texas!!!! And don't come crawling back to us when Mexico invades you!!

[aletier_v]

10. "He singled out Asian Americans, who he said should be Republican"

ungrateful bastards, even after we saved them from the Emperor.

[patricia92243]

11. Texas leaving the Union - again? They have turned into a real bore.

[tarheelsunc]

12. Let them go. The repubs will never win another presidential election.

[aletier_v]

14. If Texas secedes, then no Bush can run for office in USA anymore?

[DJWBlue]

13. Not a bad idea. That might just be the final push I need to leave Texas and move to Vermont.

[beachbumbob]

15. be easier for this guy to leave america

and find a country to his liking like somalia...

[titaniumsalute]

17. Go down to Juarez...

We'll see how tough they are.

[courseofhistory]

18. Buh bye! n/t

[RosedaleGuy]

19. He really loves America

Not. Another America hating democracy hating conservative.

[Ilsa]

20. Maybe he needs to move to a very relugious

place with low taxes like Pakistan!

[NYC Liberal]

21. Too bad they have no authority to secede.

[JRLeft]

23. There are a lot of good dems in Texas it would be easier

to beat to boot the right wingers.

[LiberalElite]

22. Buh Bye

Please, please, please leave us - but forget about "free trade" pardner. That dog don't hunt.

[RomneyLies]

24. All federal goodies are protperty of the US

They cannot have them.

If they dare attempt to leave, it's bloody war.

[Can o Beans]

25. Uh, I'd trade Texas for Puerto Rico any day

Who do we call to sign the papers?

[democrattotheend]

26. Go ahead...I am all for it

I would not complain about having 32 fewer Republican electoral votes and getting rid of the Texas Congressional delegation. Granted, I think Texas will become a swing state in ten years, but in the meantime, I would be happy to be rid of them.

[OldDem2012]

27. Gee, hasn't this been tried once before with disastrous consequences? Not happening. nt.

[EmilyAnne]

28. Keep in mind that 41% of Texas voters went for Obama.

That is a higher percentage than Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, N. Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, S. Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, W. Virginia and Wyoming.

Morrison is being a typical Republican in ignoring this reality. Calling 41% of his own state's voters "maggots" is not a good political tactic, to say the least.

[Wildcat1955]

29. No exit strategy

There is no provision for them to leave. Once in the union, always in the union. That matter has already been settled, and no President will allow the principle to be violated. What would Lyndon think?

[polichick]

31. Won't he be having fits when Texas goes blue next time!

[no_hypocrisy]

32. Good. Then our public school textbooks might have accurate

information in them now.

[Shankapotomus]

33. They can go but

all nuclear weapons within Texas borders must be transferred and transported back into the possession of the United States.

[Andy Stanton]

34. Texas was settled by slavers

Jim Bowie, one of the defenders of the Alamo, was a dealer in slaves. Many Texans still have that same mentality.

[and-justice-for-all]

36. If that is the case, we are going to SELL Texas back to Mexico...nt

[Rstrstx]

37. Just split the state in two - N and S

The south is already a swing state and would have voted for Obama this time by about 40,000 votes. The north would have broken about 2-1 for Romney. Unfortunately it would strand Dallas County

38. And folks wonder why I'm embarrassed to admit I'm a Texan.

I would so love to see this state in my rearview mirror but my CPA husband insists he can't leave his clients. Never mind that there are such things as computers, tablets and smartphones that make having a virtual office a snap.
