Poll question: A poll for all you DU Texans out there....

1. lol, I don't consider myself Texan but I do live here; does that count?

I'd vote to get rid of Texas as long as I could move first. :7

Who in their right minds would get rid of TEXAS?
It's the other forty-nine states that are the problem.

14. We need to go ahead and split into a North and South Texas
as we're allowed to. South Texas is solid Democrat. Let the fundies keep North Texas. They've had it forever anyway. They fight everything. Hell, we didn't have liquor by the drink until the early 70's because of them.

25. I'd draw the line at about 290
But we could gerrymander Highland Mall and Serrano's restaurant into South TX.

16. What do we do with East Texas?
And I lived in a semi-dry county in South Texas for a couple of years. Remeber the blue laws? What the hell was that all about? I can buy my girlfriend a vibrator on Sunday, but not batteries?

17. LOL! I can remember them (blue laws) from when I was a child
I haven't heard anyone bring that up in so long, I almost forgot about it. That was back in the days when almost everything was really closed on Sundays... At least in the small town where I grew up.

26. Now in North Texas you can't even buy the vibrator
as in this now famous story.

Actually, Texas has a statute that outlaws vibrators if they're used for sex. That's what they nailed this lady for.

18. Absolutely no way on Tony Sanchez for prez

Nothing politically good has EVER come out of Webb county. Webb county is the political Mos Eisle (spelling? Star Wars Episode 4) of Texas. The most recent example is the Ciro Rodriguez - Henry Cuellar debacle. Cuellar had no business running against Ciro. AND, I'll make a prediction right now... Ciro is NOT a lock on beating the puke in this one as he should be. I predict Ciro will lose Webb county by 2 - 1. (Remember that Henry Cuelllar carried Webb county by 30,000 votes in '02 against Henry Bonilla). It will be tough for Ciro because all those people are about is who puts the most money on the street, unless you're from Laredo and then they join you against everyone else if you haven't made too many enemies in the Zaffirini - Bruni wars. Sanchez eye deep in the political blood wars going on down there.

"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."
