Hardball: Tom DeLay Defends Rick Perry's Secession Rhetoric

[Brynnium]

"Incredible, radical talk." lol

[thework4444]

Thousands of acres of land just burned to the ground in Texas. No big deal right? It was in an affluent vacation area where people have 1 million dollar homes. Rich people. Elitist's. Teabaggers and Repubs. Why didn't the fire department put them out? Because Perry cut funding for volunteer fire departments and there was nobody around to fight them. You voted for it, you got it!

[freba91]

@thework4444 What The heck is Tom DeLay doing talking ? I thought He learned a lesson when

we put his ass in Jail !

[bellcord]

Tom DeLay, doing a 3 to 5 prison stretch for election fraud, weighs in on what a nifty idea refighting the Civil War would be..

[salbella50]

.....ALL OF YOU RACIST AS BIGOT'S GET THE FUCK ON DOWN TEXAS...THAT'S WHERE ALL THE MOTHERFUCKERS ARE GOING....RICK IS GAY ..AND RUSH IS HIS PARTNER....

[drusha1]

excellent

[rleary1]

What a career criminal. I hope he get's 'Hammered' but he'll be dead before he serves time. He's a lawyer & all of his friends are lawyers. He'll never serve one second. Tweetie is a fucking left lib pussy faggot. Just as Limbaugh is a fat Gay Rightest butt fucker. It still amazes me that all of you idiot posters think one side or Party is honorable?? What the fuck is wrong with you? Try to listen/watch more than ONE radio/TV Channel. Worst Person's of THE WORLD? LIMBAUGH/OLBERMANN

[Hashishin13]

Look at this statist goon, "nobody should be talking about secession nomatter where they are from." What a fucking GOON. He might as well have added OR ELSE.

Anyone who disagrees that secession is a valid principle has to ask themselves if they are unhappy that the colonists seceded from Britain. Then they have to ask if it was okay for the Soviet states to secede. Then they have to agree that secession is great. End of argument.

This guy shouldn't be apologizing for Perry, he should attack.

[suvariboy]

Why is anyone giving this fat fuck ex-con a voice?

[olivemike81]

There's a lot you can do and say and still be a patriotic American. But when you talk of your state leaving the Union you've crossed a line and you are on the road to be a traitor. Your state doesn't have the right to quit the United States, we established that 150 plus years ago.

[thatsmetoo]

You are correct, eve DeLay says they can't can't do it. but you can't tell a Texan that..boy will the red necks be pissed. But they will find a way to blame Obama for that. By the way, Perry lobbied for, even wrote a letter to Reid FOR the bail out, and is now flip-flopping

[thatsmetoo]

Why is Matthews even talking to this criminal who ran away from Texas as soon as he was caught?

[thebig1]

@thatsmetoo It took 3 grand juries to " convict " Delay. Furthermore Travis county DA Ronnie Earle indicted him a day before ALL THE CHARGES WERE TO BE DROPPED....in otherwords they had no case they just wanted to remove him from his leadership post. Now you know the truth your brainwashed liberal sheep

[mowntainmancr]

Matthews is a liar. Secession has been talked about for a decade or more! Now, as more, and more people jump on the bandwagon, it gets more attention. Matthews thinks because he hasn't been paying attention to an issue, it doesn't exist. He wants all of his esteemed followers to think the same, that this is an upstart movement of lunatics. It isn't, it's going to happen sooner or later.

BTW, for those who argue that it isn't legal, it wasn't "legal" for the states of the USSR to leave either!

[santanaramostarango]

But, Texas can secede fromt the Union,right?

[stealthpakfa]

the US will be better off breaking up.

[olivemike81]

Actually Texas gets 94 cents back for every dollar it gives to the Federal Government. Republicans always complain about Federal spending but Red States generally pay the least in Federal taxes and get the most in Federal spending.

[olivemike81]

If some Blue State governor had said anything like this when Bush was president the right would have called him a traitor.

[thatsmetoo]

Thank you for bringing that up.

[George91280]

What is with you people. Any Secession talk is down right treasonist and unpatriotic! As much of a pain the ass Texas and Texans are, they are still Americans and are a state.

[SterlingUliso]

I live in Texas. I like it here. I like the 10th Amendment too, and the rest of the Constitution. Read it lately?

[thruid3]

Foreverlarge, I bet there were lots of Russians that thought the same thing before the Soviet Union broke up. The Soviets didnt go to war with their break away states because the COULDNT ! They were broke. As our country is now. With the crisis in commercial real estate set to peak in 2010-11 our economy will be hit with a SECOND wave even BIGGER than the subprime mess. There will be profound changes in this country in the next few years.

[foreverlarge]

Delay and Perry are both idiots. The Civil War answered their questions over 100 years ago. Any other country would have locked them up for their unpatriotic statements. But we live in the greatest country in the world. But let them try to leave the union and you'll see what there fate will be.

[irishronpaul]

I will move from ireland to texas if they seced

[libertyeconomics]

I pray that Texas secedes, and I WILL MOVE THERE!

[elbethere]

Respond to this video... I'll pay for your ticket, or your gas.

[libertyeconomics]

If Texas seceds, I'm moving there!

[olivemike81]

Good, you can join the rest of the traitors.

[ianlbayne]

This Chris Matthew guy is really openly slanted. Is he supposed to be an anchorman? He's like a 10 year old "objectively" making a case to go get ice cream before dinner.

[narddogg420]

enron,delay

[eandatoo]

It's obvious that Chris Matthews is just a puppet mouthpiece. His arrogent demenor demonstrates a lack of professionalism and conviction. Anyone who believes that federal government is the supreme power is a sheep. Sucession is a right within the 10th Ammendment provisions and is very patriotic.

[mr4thq3]

Screwball with Chris Matthews!!!

[aplatt65]

First of all, Vermont was talking secession five years ago in the heart of the Bush presidency, and rightly so might I add! War is not the inevitable result of secession. Secession is the sovereign right of any group of people. The civil war can be defended on moral grounds with regard to the issue of slavery, but not on the grounds of preserving the union. Such an argument is morally indefensible, an act tantamount to tyranny. Get over yourselves.

[4u2b1ib12]

Tom DeLay is a racist fool.

[kthhrrsn]

I don't know why the governor of Texas wants to alienate his state from the rest of the nation. It's not a smart move, and I think it'll cause a net loss of jobs and income in the state. Others, including myself, will decide against traveling to or doing business in such an extreme state.

The governor is clearly not a real American. If he was, he'd accept the democratic process that our nation was founded on. We have a new President, and he doesn't want to accept it.

[anthonyw713]

why is standing up for the people of the state of texas such a bad thing. I have news for you kthrrsn 38 states have filles sovereginty movments and had simillar measures passed. read the real id act read the 647 page stimulus bill and learn what string are attached to that stimulus money and you might have a different view

[irishronpaul]

You take it so personally. The people of texas don't hate you. They hate their government. You got to ask youself why. Tell me the difference between bush and obama. bush is white, obama is black. obama speaks more eloquently(better) than bush. Just because obama speaks well doesn't mean that he has any intention of helping you. He serves the elite. peace from ireland

[santanaramostarango]

I don't hate the French, I hate the French government (socialism)

[richwfd]

You got that right, and I voted for Obama, irishonpaul. I am disappointed with this administration and am not surprised by that, but there is no way I could've voted for McCain after he selected that idiotic, right-wing stewardess as his running mate. The only good thing that I can say that Obama MIGHT be able to take some credit for is the recent increase in size of the GDP and the stock market seems to have turned around...........

[Hashishin13]

@richwfd HE GAVE AWAY TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO SCUMBAG-FUCKUPS. When TRILLIONS are given away for FREE it would be a MIRACLE if the GDP and stock market didn't see some of the LOOT.

Seriously man, keep shit in context. Also don't waste your vote on the lesser of two evils, vote for libertarians/republican libertarians. Taxes are theft. Imagine a government that didn't coerce anyone who hadn't already attacked someone else or their property? That is libertarianism.

[Southernjuggalo63]

@irishronpaul my irish brother if you had confederate ancestors that served with mine let me first thank all irish and scottish confederates for their contribution of our cause and if tyranny breaks out in ireland you just let me know ill be on with way armed and ready to defend the cause as so many did with my ancestors

[rleary1]

@irishronpaul Hi from TX. Bush seemed like a nice guy albeit stupid & Ignorant. Cheney/Rove were the evil liars that strummed him like a puppet. Bush epic failed at every endeavor in his life but I don't hold him responsible. Obama? He is smooth but I voted for him because of Bush. I'm a Christian but hate Christians that push that on us. I have 4 kids & wouldn't kill them but hate Anti-abortion folks. I also don't like anti-Gay politicians that are homos.

[coastal515]

SlowRealization, exactly what sins did he commit against his children?

Confidnz, Tom DeGay?? that's just dumb.

[confidnz]

So is Tom DeGay... so I guess we're both content!

[freethesouth]

We did voice our objections but the media dismissed us. Don't get your info from mainstream media. It is your freedom to whine and it is our FREEDOM to take back the rights guaranteed by the constitution. we don't want california or washington to tell us what to believe in or what we can grow on a farm or how much we can harvest from the waters. for more info go to LEAGUE OF THE SOUTH, SOUTHERN NATIONAL CONGRESS.

[Blechoz]

freedom of speech is a double edged sword.

The media has the right not ot listen to you, and to use thier freedom of speech.

I have the freedom to tell you to stop talking, but you dont have to listent o me because you have that freedom

[confidnz]

Dickhead Perry and Tom DeGay do not speak for THIS Texan! Speak for yourselves, pricks!

[anthonyw713]

yes he does thats what we calla democratic republic. we elect officals to speak for us aka a govenor or senator. just thought you needed to know that

[confidnz]

Like I said, genius...  he does NOT speak for me! Please understand the content of what I posted before you make an attempt at imparting knowledge. ... Just thought you needed to know THAT...

[anthonyw713]

maybe you are confused about how a democratic republic works. What you or i have to say dosent mean crap what matters is what our elected officials have to say. Protest is good but in the end nothing will happen. But you do have the right to move if you dont like the direction texas is going

[confidnz]

No thanks! I'd rather stay and fight this so-called Texas status quo and knock some sense into these throwbacks that claim to be speaking for the entire state.. and if these are the types of people that stand in the way, it will be all too easy. I'm not going ANYWHERE and I challenge these shitkickers to try to do something about it...

[rtgoodson]

@confidnz You're a minority in Texas. Take care.

[TXConfidnz]

@rtgoodson

But it's always the minority that brings forth changes and real progress. Take care.

[rtgoodson]

@TXConfidnz Hmm...excellent point. God Bless.

[SlowRealization]

Why can you listen to a man who took criminal advantage of his office and those he represent? Delay should seek forgiveness from the lord for his sins against his children. He is a criminal.

[silver5149]

...and wasn't Tom Delay charged with money laundering too?

[silver5149]

Actually Chris has a point, these conservative nuts never complained when we had a republican president, however now, that its democrat they want to smear President Obama!

these guys just wants republicans back in power, but thats not happening

[silver5149]

I can't wait until Texas becomes democratic again

[btownhotties]

Texas go away!! Pleeease!!

[blupheonix44]

These two nuts, and just joking with each other...

Why is Delay even still asked on these shows???!!!

[JacdCat]

I just read an article about how a 13 year old girl was strip searched looking for Ibuprofen.

WoW!

This country has gone down the wrong path, and I fear there may be no hope for it.

Either people need to shake this countries political system to it's core, or Texas does need to secede.

And then all you freedom loving people can come here the way your ancestors migrated to the U.S.

In search of freedom, liberty and happiness.

To hell with the supreme court.

Bunch of Nazi's

[ericzum]

Isn't this treason?

This is a serious question. Does a state have the right to leave?

[divinehumanism]

Texas does have a "right to succeed" clause in their constitution, but it would takes years of negotiations. It's not treason since the idea of the United States is that we are "independent" states that are united voluntarily.

However, this is just politics. Texas politicians are just rattling their swords to get attention. They dislike President Obama and this is their way of showing it.

Now they know what it was like when we had to suffer thru Shrub... er, i mean Bush.

[gwynnsisland05]

Tom DeLay loves men. and lying

[TomLennox24]

he does make a great point about how Texas is a business friendly environment with low taxes...i wish my home state would be like that to make Maryland a more profitable place for companies to do business so more will stay here or relocate here and help expand our economy...i relaly dont understand why liberals think taxes are the solution to everything

[gwynnsisland05]

blah blah blah. liberal this liberal that. move to Texas

[Scapone2001]

I hope texas does secede. I hope more states secede from the union.

[markdoom2]

I cant believe that anyone bothers to give Tom Delay any airtime. Who cares about those dill-holes

[Raynee13]

Apparently you do. Why else would you take time to respond to this vid?

[gwynnsisland05]

look who's talking

[osiris2669]

tom is a piece of shit criminal. he is a corrupt politician who should be in jail but the republican slanted courts in texas have no integrity.

[fallon75]

fuck texas. if they leave there will be no more bush's or texans at all running for president of the US!!!!!!!!! sounds like a great idea lol

[colemantis]

No, it's a bad idea.

And fuck you

[Zona992006]

Republicans, you lost. Get over it.

[garthggarth]

Tom Delay is a filthy liar!

Texas receives over 87 cents on the dollar back from teh federal government!

New York-49 cents.

Minnesota-less, like 42 cents! And they can't even get thier second senator confirmed.

Tom is so completely a water-carrier for the rich corporate interests, it's not even funny.

I beleive that the rich would gladly burn down the internet if they could--it's the best conveyer of real opinion ever, and it's why we need to reach out to people on this forum, IMO.

[slider8585]

Ha, almost a direct quote from a previous cnn clip. Nice one, Garth. Remind me in the future to take political advice from a guy who fills up his youtube "favorites" page with Japanese soft-core porn. Schwing! Party on Garth!

[MethRattle]

I just can't get over what SORE LOSERS Republicans are. Where was this outrage when THEY controlled Congress & the Oval Office and grew debt/government to record levels? Oh right, their 'president' liked CALLING himself a Texan, even tho he was a northeastern fratboy, therefore he got their blind support with anything.

Keep it up, Repubs, you're just driving the independent middle even further away, guaranteeing you won't win any major elections anytime soon.

[robertsd247]

It suck Perry is just a yes-man/front-man. I really WISH he was being serious about leaving the US. I would move back.

[MethRattle]

Somewhere I still have a transcript of the comments from the first few hours after Tom Delay launched his blog, shortly after he left Congress. I have rarely laughed as hard as I did while reading those comments. Tom basically opened the internet version of an agitated hornet's nest.

[Hereticbooks]

I see Tom Delay conveniently has a copy of his book propped up in the background...

[Hereticbooks]

What exactly are these people protesting? Socialism? If that's the case let them give their social security checks and medicare back to the government. If they don't want the stimulus? Don't fucking take it. Are they claiming that they've been taxed more since Obama has been in? I'd say, "prove it."  Because I don't believe it unless you're very wealthy.

[gwynnsisland05]

hahaha youre right!

[0o0oo0o]

tom delay is such a dildo.

[dcr9999]

I think it's hilarious that everyone is now blaming obama for the problems that bush started!

[scouser691]

Top 10 states that give more to Washington than they get back = All Blue states

Top 10 states that take more from Washington than they give = 8 are red states

Fuck these backwards welfare states. SECESSION? Sooner the better

[nyguy]

I think we should reenact the Alamo, with these bozos defending it. But let's use real ammo.

[PeterOrszagCallMe]

Thank you Texas for giving us G.W Bush--we may never recover.

[JacdCat]

Bush, and his entire family are from New Englund.

Just cause he owns a ranch and pretends to chop down some trees, doesn't make him Texan. LOL

Thank yourself, and spoiled rotten rich people for Bush.

[caligal2350]

But YOU Texans voted to make Bush YOUR governor...twice, and one of those times was over "native Texan" Ann Richards.

[JacdCat]

Not all Texans voted for Bush.

I sure as hell didn't.

That's like saying, YOU voted him in as your president.

Which is way worse.

Well did you?

[caligal2350]

Of course I did not. But my point is that enough Texans DID vote to make Bush governor, and didn't even try to get him out in 1998 and stop him from becoming president. If Bush was never elected governor or was voted out in 1998, he might not have become president.

[caligal2350]

And comparing voting for governor to voting for president is apples and oranges. No other state voted to make Bush governor.

[JacdCat]

so it's o.k. that America chose him as their president?

But it's not o.K. that texas chose him as Governor?

[caligal2350]

Where did I say that it was okay that Americans chose Bush as president? To me at least it was not okay. But, as I said, had he not been elected governor or voted out in '98, he likely would not have run for president and America would not have the option of voting for him.

[JacdCat]

I'm just saying you seem to be blaming everyone in Texas even those who didn't vote for bush.

That's like blaming every American, even you, for making him president.

Don't blame somebody,(Texas) for a choice,(America)made.

[caligal2350]

America made Texas elect Bush governor? That's news to me.

[JacdCat]

Not America, now your just being a smartass.

I said it's insane, politcal system, in which one person votes for another for no other reason than party affiliation.

It's Texas' fault that America elected Bush for president? Just because he probably never would have been president if he wasn't governor first.LOL

So in your mentality, if some idiot gets hooked on crack, it's not the idiots fault for smoking the shit, but it's the guy who cooked the crack's fault?

[badtown88]

Texas, please leave the Union!!! I think we'd all be better off.

[JacdCat]

Millions in Texas have been whispering about secession since W. was president.

To hell with Rick Perry Tom Delay Georged Bush.

and the rest of the neo-conservatives

Ron Paul for president of Texas

Larry Kilgore for vice-president.

[Strutinan]

You had me until you brought out Ron Paul.

Oh wait a minute...on second thought PLEASE LEAVE and take that jackass WITH YOU. You DESERVE each other.

[JacdCat]

Well you don't have to vote for him.

So keep your comment to yourself.

[Strutinan]

Do you even KNOW the definition of "hypocrisy"?

lol

[JacdCat]

Are you amusing yourself?

People like you, and the idiots YOU voted for got this country into the mess it's in.

A smarter country would have voted for Ron Paul.

Ofcourse American Education isn't what it used be.

You are obviously proof of that.

[Strutinan]

Obviously you don't. Which leads me to believe you ALSO do not know the definition of an "ad hominem attack", pity since you just made a TEXTBOOK example of one.

In case you can't guess: in three comments you have managed to destroy your own position to anybody with even a basic education in analytical thinking and reasoning.

Which is HILARIOUS given that YOU are accusing ME of not being educated!

Hence "lol" ;)

[jrebstock]

Perry (the COWARD)...predictably, he has retracted his call for TX secession...hours after being called OUT ..Perry is now begging for forgiveness with his tail b/t his legs....like the school yard bully that runs off crying ...as soon as they've been slapped on the wrist.

[texastmblwd69]

I say we retain the prison at Guantanamo Bay to have a place to put all the treasonous GOP wingnuts that are talking splitting up the country. Let their own CIA torture them or do whatever they feel like and they'll come crying to the ACLU for help. That'd be some poetic justice.

[MethRattle]

People are moving to Texas, all right...to legally avoid alimony in other states. Texas seceding would be one of the best things that could happen to the U.S.

And where was all this Republican worry over the Constitution while Bush was illegally wiretapping, firing attorneys on political grounds, indicting Dems on political grounds, torturing, growing government, increasing spending to record levels, etc? Republicans (politicians and voters alike) disgust me now.

[Highguard1701]

I am texan and I cant beleive what garbage these neo-cons nutjobs are sprouting. They dont have the whitehouse so now its ok to talk about breaking the country. These neo-cons are showing their true neo-nazi colors now. Who have given them the right to talk about seperation from the union. I hope we texans boot this traitor Rick Perry out of the governship. Hopefully before that he might get impeached. Our union will remain no matter what the cost.

[RZetlin]

If a Democratic representative ever talk about secession he would already been investigated and maybe thrown in jail for treason.

Why are Republicans allows to say whatever they want?

[il128]

We're going to torture us some repubs! Wooo Hoo! Oh, ya! Keep talking treason!

Enjoy your insects in your boxes...

[Francebrasil]

Just to show as Independant these morons are, we should cut-out all federal funding to these bigoted anti American fascists.

[teddyc0777]

hey bud we dont need your fderal funding if you didnt hear in the video we only get back 70 cents on the dollar we send tothe federal government where losing money by being part of the u.s, also if you google and check texas is the 9th largest economy in the world and the largest state economy in the country thats why where pissed

[sdpalme]

Scary shit. Is Perry actually the elected representative that the people chose as their state's governor?

[losarman]

why are they talking abouy it. It's not going to happen. It's raising the profile of the republicans. I wish that the americans would learn from the UK. 6-8 years ago the conservatives were nearly finished for good but they allowed stuff like this to be publicised and keeping them in the limelight. Let em die. Let then writhe to death but don't give the a lifeline

[almamatters2471]

kick 'em out and be done with them...let them deal with the border fence that we'll put up surrounding their border with the U.S.

[kargenlewis]

blah blah blah. if your fooled by old bush politics then f you!

why dont republicans take responsibility for helping bush murder millions and destroying america? clinging to the fact that there are some corrupt dems doesnt justify anything and i wonder how u fukn sleep at night. fuk you republicans pigs!

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

Chris Matthews should be ashamed of himself for featuring that closet queen Tom Delay and clips of Rush the gas bag. Does anyone really give a fuck what they have to say?

[klugyboy]

So when it came to same sex marriage the GOP was shitting all over states rights threatening a constitutional amendment banning them...but now....suddenly....the federal government can go fuck themselves and states rights and sovereignty are whats most important.

fuck off.

[olTOml24]

ha - he shut him up good.

[klugyboy]

Next step...terrorist secessionist groups like the ETA in Spain.

The GOP is stepping up the bullshit to prep their unwashed masses to do bad things.

They are playing a dangerous game.

[Jazzycat47]

Perry is not only a dick. He's an ignorant dick. Secession is treason.

Texas vs. White, 1869: the Supreme Court of the United States voted 5-3 that NO STATE can secede from the Union. Do it and you're a traitor.

[larrydh2]

Bullshit, the United States was created by secession (from Great Britain). When in the course of human events etc, etc. People can change their government when enough if them want, Supreme Court be damned.

[Jazzycat47]

You prefer a government that's not determined by law? OK... move somewhere else. Because that's not what America is about - and never has been.

[znotty]

a lynch mob mentality,you in the klan boy...it dont matter because your leader ,your President,your better is a black man,suck on that.

[jrebstock]

larrydh2..i hope the filthy state of Texas does secede from the USA..& takes its hate , bigotry & deficit spending and goes 2 form its own country .. where NASCAR, woeful country music & the KKK can thrive...& they can take ALABAMA, south carolina, tenn, Kentucky , & ark too...the remaining 44 states will THRIVE without their financial strain on the rest of us..& we will be a better nation w/o their few (lame) grand accomplishments : i.e...GRACELAND, Jack daniels & memphis BBQ.

[teddyc0777]

hey dumb ass if you would do your research youd notice texas has no deficit nor any debt the texas constitution dosnt allow it also its the wealthiest state and number one in the contry for tecnology medicine and oil si we would be happy to leave you to die

[jrebstock]

teddyc0777....please leave (secede) from the USA...and take your guns and hate and ignorance with u.... & dont let the door hit your ass on the way OUT......in 6 months or less ....u evangelic BROKEN longhorns will come crawling back to us begging for re-admission.

[fitzd78]

This is about 5% of the story. "No taxation without representation". Did you hear that phrase in your 5th grade history class? The colonists had no representation in Parliament. Taxes were being imposed on them by a government they did not elect. But we are a republican democracy, and no minority has the right to overthrow a government so constituted. Go get an education!

[OhioDemocrat]

Tom DeLay? I thought he was in prison.

[znotty]

can someone define treason for me.

[xhagast]

To try to harm something or someone who has treated you well and has not done anything bad for no reason other than personal profit.

[znotty]

Violation of allegiance toward one's country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.

so he`s not quite there yet.

[xhagast]

The first part of your definition of treason fits what he is doing. Especially does not mean "only if". Even though he is not helping foreign powers he is still betraying his allegiance to the US. He is sworn to the US, not to the nation of Texas.

The US is NOT the European Union. It is more like Germany. Germany has been ONE nation less than 150 years. There were half a dozen kingdoms there before.

[ndvuncle]

I can't stand looking at, or listening to Tommy DeLay. I refuse to watch. I'd rather die.

[tannerlights]

Well, unless the republicans can embezzle the money they're probably not that interested in it anyway.

[uyd]

Why wasn't this redneck jerk so "FED UP" when GW Bush was in the White House.

[uyd]

Hey, Governor don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out of....the union...By the way, when you leave please return the money your state got out of the stimulus bill...you fing HYPOCRITE!!!!

[teddyc0777]

hey dumb ass how bout we take all the money we give if you watch the video we only get back 70 cents on the dollar we send texas is the largest and richest economy in the unon and the 9th largest in the nation

[eirefrance]

Sorry, tough guy, it hasn't been 73 (not 70) cents on the dollar since 1982. Closer to 98 cents on the dollar now. Look up the Tax Foundation.

[eirefrance]

In fact, cowboy, Connecticut and California have a far worse ratio of dollars given vs received, yet they don't whine like little crybabies throwing temper tantrums.

[uyd]

Hey, by all means leave the union AND TAKE THE RED NECKS AND GUN NUTS AND RELIGIOUS NUT JOBS WITH YOU!!!!!!!!

[kcegan]

Delay is a freaking idiot Nazi who should be tried for terrorism.

[nelsonat]

Tom DeLay, you're amazing and absolutely true!

[bbbbmer]

why isn't this clown in prison???? was the jury deaf/dumb/blind and STUPID???

[xhagast]

I don't listen to traitors. Stop listening to these scum before you get an ulcer in your stomach. I had to stop before they made me VOMIT.

With a little bit of luck Obama's programs will work well and midterms will make the GOP absolutely irrelevant. From there to the toilet of history is just one step. Let it join the US communist party in political limbo. Please.

[bulluni]

Texas secede? Is this the Republican's next plan? Secede and make a Republican Country? Make Bush dictator for life?

They failed at calling Obama a terrorist a black nationalist a muslim a socialist a communist a fascist what's next? They failed at a tea party gathering all the extremists in the far right?

God they must really suck! Real Looney talk!

[xhagast]

Secession is TREASON. So now the Republicans are the party of anti-American traitors. Since they lost they want all the states with GOP governors to secede.

Because they are being opressed by not having a GOP president in the White House.

[JDiddyxl]

So if secession is treason then The United States of America was founded on treason.

You are revising history. Treason is wanting the leader of your country to fail so the country fails.

Revising history? How so?

Calling all wingnuts whackjobs and tinfoil hat people. Move to Texas you're about to get your own nation. President-Bush. VP-Delay.

[overmind25]

Funny Delay for once has a decent point. Still is corporate shill but at least he is anti state unlike Chris Matthews.

Tom Delay, we get it your a joke just like the Republican party. They don't want like 700 million out of the Billions they are getting. Oh yeah their standing up alright. Also get the fuck out of here TX gets back 88 cents way more than most states.

[xhagast]

Sorry, you are WRONG. It is 98 cents.

[carboy101]

Shit thats even worst. What the fuck is TX complaining about then. How about the state of TX just shuts the fuck up for the next 10 years.
