Yeah they've been planning it for years it's just coincidence that they filed the petitions after they lost to a negro and a bunch of liberal initiatives AGAIN.

Perhaps they were waiting to see a less intrusive government?

Was I at that dinner? At least give me that much.
The most amazing thing about the Republican party is their ability to have people vote against their own interests while at the same time being completely oblivious that they are hypocrites.
Old people on SS/Medicaire are a LARGE part of the Republican party, which would no doubt do away with those things if they could. Hell they are some of our contry's largest entitlement programs.
Meanwhile young progressives, minorities and women (you know, the people who are actually footing the SS/medicaire bill currently for the boomers) get out to vote and save these old people from themselves. Then the old people turn around and claim that their party is fucked because half of America doesn't want to work and lives off handouts.
Retards. Go ahead and secede. Don't call when you realize there's alot more to these "entitlements" and "handouts" you've been railing against than Obama phones and big screen TVs for welfare moms.

White House may respond to Texas secession petition
By Olivier Knox, Yahoo! News | The Ticket – 3 hrs ago.. .
Looks like the Obama administration may have to respond to a petition seeking the green light for Texas to secede from the United States—one of 20 such requests filed on the official White House website since Election Day.
At the time of the writing of this post, the Texas secession petition had garnered 25,318 signatures—above the White House's self-imposed rules for requiring a reply.
(A "Recount the election!" petition filed Nov. 10 had 16,238 signatures. "Regulate Internet Pornography"? Not a big winner. It was filed Nov. 4 and had only 501 signatures.)
The White House may opt out of replying. Under its own rules, "To avoid the appearance of improper influence, the White House may decline to address certain procurement, law enforcement, adjudicatory, or similar matters properly within the jurisdiction of federal departments or agencies, federal courts, or state and local government in its response to a petition."
Other secession petitions include requests for Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee, Michigan, Colorado, Oregon, New Jersey, North Dakota, Montana, Indiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama and New York. (Spoiler alert: No, the White House won't approve secession.)
Here's the text of the Texas petition:
The U.S. continues to suffer economic difficulties stemming from the federal government's neglect to reform domestic and foreign spending. The citizens of the U.S. suffer from blatant abuses of their rights such as the NDAA, the TSA, etc. Given that the state of Texas maintains a balanced budget and is the 15th largest economy in the world, it is practically feasible for Texas to withdraw from the union, and to do so would protect its citizens' standard of living and re-secure their rights and liberties in accordance with the original ideas and beliefs of our founding fathers which are no longer being reflected by the federal government. :towel

Did you miss the part in the article that said these petitions have been filed after the last few elections? Regardless of which party won the whitehouse.
