have you taken any precautions for the unthinkable -
if bush is still in office at the end of january? updated your passport? Bought an assault rifle? Moved some money offshore?

i am actively seeking work abroad, and have hidden some money just in case.

6. you must not have been around for ronnie raygun...
after 8 years of that thing, i was ready to lose it...I'm not sticking around for 4 more wars of bushco.
this country is going to get the government it deserves, and i'm going to go to a country that deserves me.
i deserve the right to a decent life.

8. bs, I've been around since Ike.
My dad let me pull the handle for Kennedy at age 5!

Remember, the political pendulum swings back and forth, stick it out.

2. Well I did get a passport ... but do not know how to move money
offshore and where. Give me some ideas. No assault rifle, but have been thinking about getting a gun which is something I never thought I would say. I am getting a little to old to move, but may have to.

3. Well...
I'm not a "doctor" yet, so I have to stay here for a couple years no matter what to finish school. I have three foreign languages and working on two more (very slowly), so maybe it won't be too hard to immigrate. I've really wanted to move to Europe for many decades, but I've fallen in love with Brasil. I'm DEFINATELY going to live there someday... after we take back the WH!

:kick:

5. Even if we do lose (we won't)...
We will almost assuredly take congress in two years and one or more of Bush's scandals will surely come to fruition. He may even be impeached. If not he will be very weak for his last two years in office. 2008 will be a great year for dems.

BUT, I repeat, we will not lose. WE WILL WIN!!! Say it loud and often. NO more pessimistic threads, please.
