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.

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 harpers |

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. |

Just like a bunch of damned liberals, always promising to do something and not following through with it.

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.

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. |

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. |
