What country would the Repubs move to?
Every election I hear my fellow democrats say (jokingly): "If (Repub candidate) wins I'm moving to Canada." Canada is a very liberal country with policies that resemble much of the democratic platform. So where do Repubs threaten to go if the democrat wins?

5. There isn't any country crazy enough to take them. . .
I'm all for them forming their own country. Let Utah secede.

7. Germany, if only...
they hadn't lost that doggone war! :evilgrin:

Honorable mention: South Africa, if only that spineless Congress hadn't overridden St. Ronald's veto of sanctions and apoartheid still reigned supreme...

8. Given their Stalin like funeral for the criminal Reagan, their demand for
a one party state, their ideological inflexibility that is wholly indifferent to reality, etc, I'd guess that they'd be very comfortable if the old Soviet Union could be restored. I expect that the result of their policies will have very much the same effect as the Communist Party's policies had on the Soviet State.

Of course if the old Soviet Union is not restored, the only other Stalinist state left is North Korea, so I would have to agree with the previous poster who suggested this.

9. You've stumbled on why Conservatives fight so hard. . . .
during elections. There are any number of countries in the world where a liberal can find a more hospitable environment for their beliefs, but for conservatives this is it.

13. Let's Let Texas Cede From The Union
And allow them to establish a Fundie/Religon based Government.

That way, Ken Lay can establish "his" own tax haven, control the regulation/tax environment and have a jerk like Dimbo pay for everything through Tax Breaks.

The Baptists can run around with AK-47's with the Ten Commandments and John 3:16 taped to their barrels and 30-round magazines filled with cheap Chinese Ammo protecting the Oil and water that still remains there.
