If you leave, there's one less person to fight for what's right. And if a lot of people take your same position, then all will go to hell (which may be where's it's going anyway, only faster).

Quitters never win.

I'm considering Vancouver, depending on the election outcome. Not (entirely) because of "take my ball and go home" bitterness, but because I want to find another job and/or freelance with health insurance. Neither will happen under four more years of Bush. I have to look out for number one, you know?

The national brain drain after a Bush victory will be astonishing. I wonder how long it'll take for the US economy to collapse when all the bright, talented people move elsewhere and the debt keeps piling up.

My brother lived in Europe. It didn't sound like a good time to me. Anyplace that doesn't favor air conditioning or ice (for beverages) must be watched.

Er... on the bright side, this sort of "We Hate Liberals" activism has been going on for years, as has GOP supression of minority votes. So if it makes you feel better, this *specifically* is nothing the country hasn't seen and survived before...

I was thinking of New Zealand, myself.

No need to go overseas. Just pop across the northern border, and stay within visiting distance of your relations.

Nova Scotia is lovely, but admittedly far from everything.

My first pick for you two would be Montreal.

I hear nice things about Montreal.

Toronto is gorgeous, and they have a really good live music scene happening.

If Bush wins, I fully plan on growing a beard down to my crotch and practicing my marksmanship and balaclava-wearing skills.

Survivalism: it's not just for rednecks anymore!

You guys can stay with me in London until you get back on your feet...open up a stand at portobello market and sell knit wear.
and that dog too...little bugger would never make it through another Bush session.
Don't you worry.
The world has been prepared for the flood of American refugees since schwarzenegger was crowned.

Good luck chaps.

Learn that word "chaps"...It'll help you out in a jam.

we have been talking about making a move overseas as well. things just keep getting scarier...makes me question raising my children here.

I agree with what Barklage said. America has always had a large segment of very scary, backwards, vocal people. Did you catch the NPR bit about how, way back when, the New York Post said that if that goddamn atheist Thomas Jefferson was elected, that our young women's chastity would be violated, and babies would be twisting on spits in hellfire?

The thing that keeps me from moving is the thought that I, and others like me are the only thing keeping these nutjobs from completely controlling the worlds only superpower.
