IF the repubs win the Presidential election,

[clydefrand]

I think I'll move to a place that is very pleasant, sunny, friendly. Some place like Tobago/Trinidad. (actually just Tobago). Or, for even less intrusion, maybe Cacaos island.

1. We have actually seriously talked about this at our house.

I don't recognize my country anymore. Maybe it is because I live in Oklahoma where AP History is under fire by a Baptist preacher who sits in the legislature, but either way, we have talked about this....

[randys1]

2. I cant afford most places like that but have considered Costa Rica.

[elleng]

4. Yup.

[elleng]

3. Costa Rica.

Me too, but I have grandkids, so I don't think I'll actually move.

[monmouth4]

5. Costa Rica was on my list also...I must do more research ..... n/t

[leftofcool]

6. Nope! This is my country too and I refuse to let them run me off!

7. Great, one less liberal vote for congress and the all-important local elections.

Your attitude will not be missed, but your vote will

[Paka]

17. You simply vote from abroad.

No liberal vote need be lost. I live in Thailand and still vote in California, the last state I actually lived in North America.

8. Just in case of majority of Democrats choose to set the election out!

I'll be staying here because I don't have the money to live there as a visitor. I doubt I could get a Work Permit or a Student Permit. I am not inclined to be a Missionary or a Minister. Since I am not a citizen of a Caribbean nation that is part of the CARICOM Single market, I do not qualify for Community Skills Qualification. And Trinidad Tobago are easier to get into than Canada.

10. Even so, it would be a temporary set back at best, and not a permanent tragedy.

Look at all the demographic groups Republicans have alienated even as their own voter base is dwindling through age and attrition. Remember how Dems struggled to remake the party after adopting civil rights as a major policy plank. Even if the R's turned over a new leaf tomorrow, it will take them decades of rehab to undo the damages they have done to their brand and promote a more inclusive message that will be competitive and attract future voters.

11. Can we all get together to discuss this over coffee? I'd like to maybe

pool resources and try to be a better gig for all involved. Maybe that would allow those of more modest means to still be able to contribute to make it happen! Meet at Starbucks? ... Seriously, though, I often thought of it when BushCo was in charge. I figured to stick with US Territories, though. Not sure if I looked at other places or not, now, can't remember. So long ago.

[bigwillq]

12. I would never leave.

Ds said that under Bush. Rs said that under Obama. D/Rs will say that under the next president. We can't always get a pony. I will stay.

[John Poet]

13. If the GOP gets the White House, and

also control both houses of Congress, they may just manage to finally take things so far that people just won't stand for it anymore.

It'll be France, 1789. Then they'll find out what "class warfare" REALLY is....

[HappyMe]

14. Nope, not me.

My family is here, and I cannot possibly afford to leave even if I wanted to.

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

15. Corporations keep their assets .....

Off shore.
Why should we not want to keep our asses offshore.

Current trend, seems reasonable.

[brooklynite]

16. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

I've heard this before.

Just live conservatives were going to move when Obama got elected.

You won't move.
