I am going to go get a passport today.
 

I live in a country with over 57,000,000 morons. F**K!!

And you think it is any different somewhere else ?

Well at least there will be one less. Thanks for helping out.

See ya

Bye Bye - You should move to Cuba or China - You won't have to worry about elections anymore.

So Bush won the Popular Vote.

Bush Won the election.

The Republicans control both Houses.

and there was a record high voter turn out.

The same thing just happened with our 'centre-right' govenment in Australia. Returned to power with a healthy majority and control of both houses for the first time in over 20 years.

All the same except the record turnout...voting is compulsory here, you get fined for not turning up.

There is a perception these governments are doing a good job considering the almost hopeless situation. They make mistakes, but the other guy will make mistakes too if you vote him in.

And I know things have been pretty good around here financially in the last few years, most people seem to be pretty happy. Interest rates are low and they don't wanna rock the boat.

However, IMO the huge swings toward existing and established government were primarily influenced by campaigns of fear. That wolves thing was amazing. John Howard should have made one with some dingoes and a baby :o

wolves ?
 

So the wrong candidate has won, and you want to leave the country. Let us consider your options.

Imaginary nations

Perhaps the most elegant solution is to join a country that exists only in one’s own—or someone else’s—imagination. Many such virtual nations can be found on the Internet, and citizenships in them are easy to acquire. This, in fact, was the route most recently attempted by Kenneth Nichols O’Keefe, the unfortunate ex-Marine. In February 2003,

O’Keefe went to Baghdad to serve as a human shield, traveling with a passport issued to him by the “World Service Authority,” an outfit based in Washington, D.C., that has dubbed more than 1.2 million people “world citizens.” While laying over in Turkey, however, he was detained; Turkey, as it turns out, does not recognize the World Service Authority. O’Keefe was forced to apply for a replacement U.S. passport from the State Department, which rather graciously complied.

Upon his arrival in Baghdad, O’Keefe promptly set the replacement passport on fire. But he remains, to his dismay, an American

United New Zealand
 

WELLINGTON (AFP) - Enquiries from Americans wanting to move to New Zealand have skyrocketed since George W. Bush was reelected president of the United States.

The Immigration Service website had 10,300 hits from the United States the day after the election, compared to the daily norm of 2,500.

Thousands of North Americans have migrated to New Zealand in recent years -- attracted by the country's small population, clean, green image of bush-clad mountains, and isolation from world trouble spots -- but the number now looks set to soar.

Phones at the Immigration Service offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland have been ringing constantly since the vote outcome, Marketing Manager Don Badman told the Dominion Post newspaper on Saturday.

There have been up to 300 telephone calls and emails a day compared to six-to-eight calls a day before the election.

"It's exploded. It really started picking up from 11:00pm the night of the election," he said.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Americans were also looking to Australia and Canada as well as New Zealand following the election.

:rofl:

Perhaps that's a strategy to consider in 08. All single Dems marry foreigners who have much better judgment than the majority of us in the US.

Seriously, the dems need to hire a couple of Carl Roves & learn the art of negative campaigning. That & Jesus freaks are what won the election for Bush or the lack thereof is what cost kerry the election.

Still every sneaky chickenshit tactic they can think of. They just can't conceive of honesty, integrity and courage as a way to win...or live.

Have to take issue with you there. In this particular season most especially, both parties used negative campaigning equally. The fact is that both of the sons of bitches were so undesirable that the only platform they had to run on was how miserable the other son of bitch was.

I'm not sure if this would be an inherent universal in all two party systems, but it certainly is in ours, and in this particular instance the democrats are to blame for apparently believing that if their candidates don't start out as slimeballs, they should at least be converted into something slippery enough to insert itself into the clenched orifices of the republican psyche. It's only my hope that the next will have enough balls to run on principles stronger than pretending to be indistinguishable from the opposition.

Im with ya, those republicans do suck, dont they. :f:

He (Bush) should have never been in the position to be re-elected in the first place. Al Gore was the rightful winner in 2000, the courts decided that election, not the voters...so if anyone is to blame...its them.

There have also been many complaints about the electronic voting machines, the private compaines that make them (and also the fact that Diebold’s CEO, Walden “Wally” O’Dell, once infamously announced his intent to deliver Ohio’s votes for Bush) and complaints about vote counts.

Funny Numbers: An analysis of some downright bizarre election results

To say that the American people wanted G. W. Bush back for another illegitimate term as president is crazy.

as crazy as it seems
four more years,and then probably four more after that
there is much ahead..
and much to learn


here in aus and in the us,
the reality is that the right has the power and they beleive they have a mandate
now lets see how reality reacts to that..
