I'm so sick of Texas (Politicians that is.)

[Homer12]

Who else is sick of Texas Politicans, except for Texas toast, which is good.

[AX10]

1. I'm sick of rural red state culture and Country "Music".

[MindPilot]

6. I'm with you there...!

I absolutely loathe those Chevrolet commercials that tell me that I ain't a good Murcan ifin I ain't drivin' a pickup and makin' me a passel o' white Christan babies. :puke:

[AX10]

41. Add the "MuzikMafia" as Chevy's new spokespeople....

it's more than enough to make me not want that Corvette anymore!

[GrumpyGreg]

15. Where would you like to be? I'm not being sarcastic here,I'm curious.

[AX10]

40. I live in a swing area of a blue state, Connecticut.

[XNASA]

2. So. You live in Texas?

I'm guessing you probably don't, because Blue Bell Ice Cream is from Texas and I'm sure that no one could ever get sick of that.

:shrug:

[Homer12]

4. Bush comes to mind First.

Then Tom Delay.....

......Sorry, Texas, some of this is your fault for voting that fascists Nazi Baffoon in the first place.

And your state government has not advanced too much passed the stone age as well.

[XNASA]

10. Why don't you tell us where you're from?

Then we'll see if some of this isn't your fault as well.

I'm sure there's enough blame to go around.

[Homer12]

27. I'm from Wisconsin

And the Northern Part of my State is Full of Wignut Rednecks that support Bush.

So my state sucks.

[XNASA]

39. I live in a state that is heavily Dem, and voted against Bush twice.

But I'm sure there's no way I'd ever get you to say anything nice about Illinois.

So, as you can see, this whole exercise is rather pointless.

[Xipe Totec]

12. Hate to tell ya,

but Dubya is a Connecticut Yankee; born in New Haven. His daddy was born in Milton Mass.

His accent is a phony as the ranch in Crawford, and his daddy's residence in Houston.

Don't care much for the place myself. Heck, I left there ten years ago.

But this is not the reason.

[Homer12]

19. I know

But still tells me that many Texans are RW idiots.

[dkofos]

3. I'm with you

I hate this f_cking state

[movie_girl99]

5. I'm a native and I effing hate it.

Can't wait to get out!!

[NoPasaran]

36. Won't the DPS issue you an exit visa?

I'll be happy to give you a recommendation!

[Boogie]

7. I drove through the "hill country" when I was there.

It was beautiful. This little town called Mason looked real nice. The Trans-Pecos region is pretty nice too.

[roamer65]

8. Seems like the Rethuglican party is fast becoming...

a southern regional party. I feel sorry for any lefty who lives in these hard core Rethug states.

[w8liftinglady]

18. thanks for the sympathy-Ellis County resident

this mindset is what sparked my latest letters to the editor

[AnnInLa]

9. sheeeesh, TX is nothing

try Louisiana for a while....it'll make you appreciate TX.

[Homer12]

14. I actually live in Wisconsin

But I'm still sick of Texas Politics and Politicians.

[MindPilot]

11. I lived in Amarillo as a kid and have family in East Texas

Suffice it to say my visits are very infrequent.

And Texas is not "the West"; it is by any definition part of the South.

[Joe for Clark]

13. It is an interesting state.

I never lived there, I just spent a lot of time there.

Texas has some neat things going for it. The people are really nice. Austin is a neat city - San Antonio also a nice city.

I think it just like every other state - depends on where you are.

I don't think badly of the state.

Joe

[zippy890]

16. wouldn't mind some texas temps right now

f**king freezing here in new england.

but I couldn't live there- visited my sister there
a few years ago, and have no desire to go back.

:toast:

but here's to you texas duer's who are hanging in there
and fighting the good fight!

jeebus I disliked the country music down there.

[PDittie]

17. Not me.

I'll never get sick of Molly, or Hightower, or Mexican food, or Big Bend National Park. I'll never get tired of bluebonnets in the spring, South Padre beaches in the summer, Texarkana when the leaves turn in the fall and Galveston in the winter.

I live in Houston, and the precinct I captain went 79% for John Kerry in 2004.

We're working pretty hard down here in the belly of the beast to turn it blue. You have a standing invitation to come help, any time you like.

In the meantime, hate on somebody else.

[Homer12]

21. Good Luck

Although, I'm only hating Texas Politicans.

[n2doc]

23. Used to live there- Miss the bbq and Austin scene

Georgia isn't any better. I have the rw idiot Kingston as my rep, and the drooling morans here just love him.

Bet you can find just as high a concentration of idiots in some places within California, in Orange country and elsewhere. Or any other state.

Let's hope people have/will learn to see through the fake folksy redneck acting crap.

[cali]

28. I don't live in Texas

but I've been to Big Bend and it knocked my socks off- other places as well. And I know exactly how you feel, I feel the same way about my state of Vermont. I love the pychedelic expanse of dandelions against acid green grass in the spring, and the equally pschedelic blaze of leaves in the fall. I love the smoke rising from the chimneys in the village below on a day that's clear as a bell and colder than a witche's tit.

Love of place is powerful.

[texanwitch]

20. I sick of the state you are from, whatever it is.

If this is because of Bush, just remember he is a yankee.

Yes, I drive a pickup truck, but I don't like country music.

I find all this I hate Texas threads really sad.

My Rep. is Shelia Jackson Lee, do you hate her.

You need to really grow up.

[Homer12]

22. Wow, this flame war is starting pretty quick.

Please tell me that hating Tom Delay and GWB is okay, since Texas has exported it's 2 worst politicans to the federal Level.

[texanwitch]

38. Like I said you need to grow up.

The whole state isn't Tom Delay or the people who voted for him.

Texas is big, lots of different people here.

Kerry won in my precinct, I know because I am precinct judge.

A lot of the people in Texan are not native Texans, you do know that.

We have people moving here from the other states.

Many of them vote Republican.

Take you hate somewhere else.

Texas is a great state, and all your hate isn't going to change it.

The voters Texas didn't but Bush in the White House, all the 50 states did.

Where did all the Republicans in Congress from the other 49 states come from, not from Texas.

I love Texas, it is my home for 6 generations.

We have good and bad here just like anyother state, you state included.

[ceile]

24. Well, in that case,

Texas is sick of you.
Take it somewhere else.
I love my state and unless you've lived here for any decent amount of time, I suggest you keep your mouth shut.

[Homer12]

30. Texas DU'ers Please, I have no problem with the Land...

...Nor with Texas Citizens who are ethical, moderate, and rational.

I have a problem with Texas Government, and what it has produced. Need I remind you, you have to live with it everyday.

I'm not saying all Texas Politicians are bad, but from the out-side looking in, (Excluding Ann Richards and the Brave state Democrats that fought against Tom Delay's redstricting); I am left with GWB (yankee or not) and Delay who have shaped our country in the worst possible ways.

[ceile]

34. Well, you should have made that clear in the OP.

A blanket "I'm sick of TX" is flamebait.

[Double T]

25. I'm sick of Texas politicians and Texas redneck rethuglic voters............

otherwise the food, Texas Toast included, is great!! Almost forgot, like the country music too; specially the Chicks!!

[Starbucks Anarchist]

26. Any state that produces Willie Nelson isn't all bad.

[LiberalEsto]

29. Let's give it back to Mexico

... and build a border fence between it and New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

[Radical Activist]

31. I love parts of Texas

especially Austin.

[WritersBlock]

32. 3 words. Chicken. Fried. Steak.

Bush ain't Texan. CFS is Texan.



:bounce:

[Bluebear]

33. I love Molly and Ann for all time. Love Southwest Airlines, Papasito's...

Marcia Ball, Fiesta San Antonio...

nope, too much here to like to say I am sick of a while state!

[piedmont]

35. I'm sick of ignorant OPs on DU

What a waste of bandwidth.

[Homer12]

37. Then why did you respond

It only fuels me.

[Fenris]

42. Locking.

This thread has lasted slightly longer, and has had more fighting, than the Battle of San Jacinto.

Please refrain from posting flamebait.
