Poll question: What's your worst fear right now ?
Advertisements [?]
There is so much talk of fear coming from the left. And now we have all of this discussion from DU about leaving the country because people are afraid. I'm curious about the worst case scenario. What is it that can be put into words that is at the heart of all of this abandoning America talk ?

I have my threshold for leaving but if it happened it would be too late and there would be no place on earth that was safe and the government wouldn't let us leave at that point anyway.

Sorry if the poll is morbid, I don't think it is. I really would like to know what it is that DU'ers think we are in for that would cause them to want to give up on their country and their neighbors, family, friends, life ?

And do you really believe that your worst fear could happen. How serious is the potential for your worst case scenario ? Is it even remotely possible ?

Maybe if folks could see their fears were irrational or simply impossible it would relieve some of the anxiety around here. Maybe seeing that others feel the same way would make us feel some courage collectively.

What do you think the conservatives are afraid of politically in all of this ? What's their worst case scenario ? Do you think they are counting on the fear coming from the left ? Do conservatives have the same fear as liberals ?

Is there a scenario in which Kerry wins and everything is fine ? We go back to where we were before all of this nightmare started ?

I've never posted a poll before, I hope I covered enough choices to get a feel for what is driving all of this leave the country doomsday talk.
