OK – This just has me laughing:

Gov. Rick Perry moved Tuesday to step up Texas’ law enforcement presence along the Mexico border to handle the threat of spillover violence from escalating drug cartel warfare in cities like Juarez and Matamoros.

The governor also continued his call for additional federal assistance, saying he was activating the state violence contingency plan in the meantime because “with the safety of Texans on the line, we can’t afford to wait.”

(emphasis added)

And this is why I couldn’t be President. If I were I would be on the phone with Perry right now saying “you want your sovereignty – well you fucking got it asshole”.

Really – this guy talks about how Texas should just leave the union. Well time to act like you are on your own and show us you can handle it. Game on Governor Secession.
