The Texas Governor a traitor?

Apparently he's decided that threatening Obama's administration with withdrawing his state from the Union if Obama doesn't give in to Republican demands is a good move.

Lets examine this for a moment, shall we?

Texas needs frequent government help due to droubt and hurricanes (sometimes numbering in the trillions of dollars in losses). His own government members in the state have begged him to accept the stimulus for their unemployed due to the economy. They are also battleground one with the Mexican border through which all the dealers are arriving to buy guns from Texans and create their bases of operation there.

And yet, somehow he thinks they can deal with it on their own.

There should be an uproar over this. Despicable that he would do such a thing just because he isn't interested in whats best for his people.
