A question was posed by a potential buyer: Can Texas be moved?

Answer: Yes, Shipping is extra but please consult your local zoologist and botanist in the geographic zone you wish to move Texas to as many of her plants and animals do not do well outside their native climate range. In other words, there are no refunds on dead cactus and prairie dogs.

5. Look, us loyal Dems are fucking tired of this state bashing. We live and work

here.

We voted to reduce Rick Perry's office budget from $24 mil to $940k and put the money into the unemployment and veteran's fund.

We're doing what we can. The god damn national party constantly calls us for money but won't send a fucking dime to any of our candidates and all we hear is Texas sucks.

I tell ya' what Bob, it's easy to be a liberal in a liberal state but it takes COURAGE to work for progress in a Red state like this.

sigh, feel better now but still fucking tired of people with no idea of what's going on down her Messin' with Texas.

Edit to add: I see from your profile you live in Texas. So stop with the complaining and work harder to change it.
