Nobody is going to secede. The Republican Party isn't competent enough to pull off something like a secession.

Basically Obama is going to wind up looking like a cult leader.
Didn't I just read a thread praising the Main Stream Media's foxnews as the highest rated network

No state will leave..That's foolish crazy talk created by the Main Stream Media(foxnews) and slurped up and drooled out by its salavating followers.

You need an option of "none".

If all the states endured the devastation of our nation's core values under the Bush administration, I doubt anything subsequent administrations do to fix problems would lead to worse.

Personally, I'd love to see the Confederacy secede. All the Southeast, those dirt poor states that vote Republican, could form their own union.

We would have a Third World country in North America. Time to build that border fence, but think of the federal dollars we will save.
please don't include Florida unless it's the panhandle! Most Floridians are not your typical Confederate flag waving types! We did vote for Obama by a quarter of a million votes which was the largest margin of any southern state!
As for being dirt poor we send $1 to DC and get back the same so we are holding our own.

Unbelievable! Is this the "throwing your toys out of the playpen" stance. NO States are going to secede, it is the most rediculous idea. Has America turned into a Country of "whinging Babies"?
When i was younger, America was looked at by the world as a Nation of "can do". Now it has become a Nation of "Whingers". Probably because Middle America has been screwed over so much by Corporate America that they cannot take any more. To answer this thread... NO state will secede...Get real!

Not only has middle America been screwed over by Corporate America, but also by our Government. That is the reason there is so much talk about states seceding. I don't think it will ever come to any of the states actually going through with it (except maybe Texas), but it is a way to send a message to our Federal Government about the 10th Amendment.

Obama really is special.
There were threats of secession under President Jackson's administration, and under the President Buchanan's administration several States seceded.
So our Affirmative Action President is not that "special." Nor should it be surprising that Jackson, Buchanan, and Obama are from the very same political party. Coincidence? I think not.

None...

But several boat loads of terminally sore losers and insanely racist bigots may choose to seek "greener pastures."

Good riddance!

Where is our option for NONE? If you want all of us to participate is only fair to include and option for those of us who think NONE is the best choice.
