More Texas idiocy:

I’d like to laugh about the idea of Texas secession.

But here in Tarrant County, where Ron Paul Republicans and the Tea Party have taken control, the talk is very serious.

“It would be good for Texas,” State Republican Executive Committeeman Bill Eastland said Tuesday.

Eastland, 64, of Arlington, said Texas should “buy our way out” because voters for President Obama “didn’t want to give up their free government cheese.”

Echoing comments last week by a Hardin County Republican party officer, Eastland called for “separation,” not secession. Like in the 1820s, he sees U.S. residents leaving to resettle in Texas.

“The U.S. would take the bribe,” Eastland said.

“They’ll be desperate for the money. And they’ll want our Republicans out of Congress.”
