I get the sense that some here are not really interested in even considering compromise. Its their way or the highway.
So, I suggest the highway.
Here's the plan. There was a bill introduced in the Texas legislature recently (by the same guy who introduced a birther bill and a bill to ban sharia law) to hold a non-binding resolution to secede from the union.
I say lets Texas secede and those in other states who want to free themselves from the over-bearing federal government can swap places with moderates and liberals in Texas.
You can have your free-market economy with no government interference, you can pollute the environment to your heart's content with no EPA regs, you can force the women to give up their reproductive rights, put kids to works....
On the plus side for us:
* two fewer Republicans in the Senate and a bunch fewer in the House
* a buffer zone against those pesky Mexicans trying to take our jobs
* the Dallas Cowboys could no longer claim to be America's team.
On the down side for us:
* hmmmm. I need some help here.
