    In a statement, Burrows told KOAT: "Southeast New Mexico deserves a real voice in its own future, not one dictated by Santa Fe…

    Southeast New Mexico is chud central. And Santa Fe is not only the state capital but also one of the most liberal places in the state.

      the same horseshit I hear from people in my state:

      Texas deserves a real voice not those hippies in Austin.

    can’t wait for all the dumbasses w Texas tattoos needing to go back and have a couple counties added on.

    Or the inevitable arguments about how they are or aren’t Texan enough, whatever that would even mean.

    If they get that little notch, can we give Toledo back to Michigan and combine every North/South and East/West state into one? Wall off Florida too of course.

    Republican Texas is losing it’s grip. So why not tap the chuddier parts of New Mexico to sustain it?

    Then again today’s Democrats are basically GW Bush Republicans anyways.
