OUCH! My bad! When you're on the forum at 3 a.m., some days the bear bites you. Great moniker, BTW.

Yeah, becuase we all remember how well that worked out for them last time!

If you don't get the reference see your history books and "Sherman, William Tecumseh".

Poll: Ga. Republicans favor 'independence' - UPI.com
They can easily do so by LEAVING! In fact I wish ALL the Republicans would leave the whole country. But if they think, even for one minute, that we are going to give them a single inch of this country to fester their poison in, they had better get other ideas before we send the Union Army back in to give them the ass whuppin they so richly deserve!
But they can always try to buy some land from Mexico or move to Hati.

If Texas secedes we will build a fence ourselves. Because you will be so screwed without our tax revs.

Knowing GA that like I do, why do the people in this poll want to secede?
They don't like having a black man for president (a lot of them anyway, maybe even most of them).

If Obama pushes the CIFTI Treaty where gun registration is required for foregin countries, the other half of Gerogia may want to leave the union too.
Gun Law Update - CIFTA Treaty

-- The controls go way past anything EVER attempted by gun-control groups in the United States.
-- NONE of the proposed gun controls are likely to pass by themselves through Congress. If the treaty is enacted they don't have to -- they become law when the treaty is ratified.

-- Virtually NO PROTECTIONS FOR RKBA are to be found, and the wordings are loose enough to allow all sorts of attacks on gun rights American enjoy today.

-- The U.S. government under this treaty GAINS POWER to manage firearms almost any way it would like to, without checks and balances.

-- Once signed, many of the restrictions and government intrusions become MANDATORY, and the full Congress, already cut out of ratification (only the Senate approves treaties) would be cut out of the implementation process entirely.

-- Top to bottom registration of all firearms, ammunition, ammunition components and other related materials is required if they are "in transit" and records must be kept indefinitely. This vague language, and the requirement to comply are a gun-banner's dream and a rights advocate's nightmare.

I live in Chattanooga on the Georgia border,and I know at least 100 people from Georgia who would love to secede.I don't think it's 18% it would be much higher.This would be awesome and I would love to see Tennessee follow suit
