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

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


Renouncing your citizenship


Heading to Canada or Mexico


France


The coalition of the willing



The Caribbean



Indian reservations



The high seas


Micronations


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

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 are only Four Laws in Creation:

1. You exist.
2. The One is All and the All are One .
3. What you put out is what you get back.
4. Change is the only constant...

Except for the first three laws, which never change.

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..
