Who lost Texas — and Kansas and Missouri and 30-some other states? - The Hill's Pundits Blog

Quote:

former Post reporter Thomas E. Ricks includes Texas as one of the newspaper's “things to toss out” this year, along with flip-flops and Ben Bernanke.


“For decades, Texans have been clamoring about leaving the Union,” he writes. “Letting the Lone Star State secede would set a bad precedent. (See the Civil War of 1861 to 1865.) But what about expelling it instead? There is promise in that.”


Promise?  If they'd only let Texas go and the others who like to join in.  No, that wouldn't work.  They'd miss all the power and money.
