Must be all those Leftists leaving states they have helped destroy with their liberal policies.
They are like locust, flitting from liberal states to low-tax, great standard of living conservative states, then continue to vote as the ruinous liberals they are, thereby changing what was once a haven for patriots into little CA or NY.

Maybe so, although we still appreciate you folks in Chicago giving us Obama!
But considering your weather and certain other "issues", I doubt you have to worry much about invading swarms of "liberals".... or anybody else moving there, for that matter!
½ of California moves here and they try to turn it into exactly what they were running from.
I don't get it?
Exactly, for example the reason why Austin has a city-wide smoking ban is because they Californians who moved there wanted Austin to be more like what they are used to back home. How arrogant and ignorant.
Regardless, Texas is not going blue. 2008 was the closest it'll get. People here are repulsed with the democrats. Even in Austin.

Don't be so sure. California wasn't blue before Proposition 187. It has been ever since.
Hispanics, conservative and liberal, educated and uneducated alike are absolutely outraged by the legislation in Arizona. If Texas even thinks about proposing something like that expect the state to turn blue quickly.

But, if you notice, they are afraid to venture too far out of that "blue"zone.
Oh they may go to other blue cities but they have their opinions of the rest of the state and nothing can change that.
You don't find many liberals in the small, ag-centric towns in Texas and they outnumber the blue cities. Texas is Ag and Oil..don't forget that.
Just go and try to regulate cow farts in some Ag county in the name of global warming
So you really think Texas will be blue 5 years from now? That's a joke.
I think the issue with Texas we are seeing is that it is getting more blue, but it is also getting more red as well because the population has been growing equally there with liberal and conservative voters with conservative voters still outnumbering liberal voters.
For Texas to go blue would mean more liberals continue to migrate there while the migration of conservatives slows down. Only time will tell if that ever happens, but if Texas continues on a path that makes its cities more and more liberal, which makes them more and more popular. We could see a major issue with the divide between urban and rural voters in Texas if we aren't already.
