Republicans want to emigrate.
Reports have been circulated that some Republicans are so upset with Obamas victory they would like to emigrate...but to where? A friend of my wife posted this on her face book; I thought it rather witty so I'm passing it on:
Best comment ever on Obamaphobes... I'm hearing that a lot of people are threatening to leave the country because of Obama's re-election and America's liberal turn. They're free to do so if they wish but there are a few things people should know before they pack their bags: Canada, Australia, New Zealand and ALL of Europe have Universal Healthcare (aka SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!); they ALL have HIGHER taxes than the US; Evolution is taught in ALL their schools; private gun ownership is banned or heavily restricted in each; gay couples have legal recognition in all, can marry in most and will marry soon in ALL; abortion is legal in ALL; ALL are racially and ethnically diverse and, in the case of Australia, they have a leader who is an unmarried atheist woman living in sin with her boyfriend.
On the other hand Saudi Arabia and Iran have NO taxes, and very low taxes, respectively; NEITHER allows the teaching of evolution; BOTH require prayer in schools; NEITHER allows gay rights, especially not gay marriage; NEITHER allows abortion; women in both countries know their place and don't complain about it; everybody and his brother owns a gun; BOTH are theocracies run strictly by the laws of the old testament; and BOTH have populations with very few Black people and NO Mexicans. It's practically paradise! Conservative Heaven on Earth!
Cheers, Rodney

I already sugested a republic for them, the peoples republic of china ,where the capitalist companies set up shop for cheap labor in the first place .and I think Romney has a house there anyway he can mormonize millions over there . I heard that Clint Eastwood was seen drowning his sorrows ,in a bar buying drinks for an empty stool.

Well gentleman the question, who would be best, not just for USA, but the world as a whole, and why do you give that answer?
From my perspective I think Romney would have been better from an economical aspect, but I leave you to judge.


Happy daze John in Oz.

He probably has a lot of shares in the Arms Industry. I still thinkl WW3 has been averted.
He has a daft idea that the USA is Invincible.
Any man who says,....."If I was President, Storm Sandy would never have hit us." is certainly a candidate for the Nut House not the White House.

I think that Romney would have made an awfull president completely out of touch with the main stream workers of America , he said on TV that he thought that he middle class were eaRNING BETWEEN $200,000 AND $250,000. and he would take 12 million people off welfare and get them good jobs ,without saying what he thinks a good job was . business men like him do not make good polititians because they are used too having absolute power being obeyed . a leader as to be carefull of all the people,and do things a lot diferent than running a business . the Bush administration cut taxes ,started 2 wars . borrowed the surplus 6 trillion $$$ that was earmarked for future retirees , and now wondering how this mess started .how would you like to pay %14 tax on 16 million earnings .thats what Romney paid last year . 4000 multi millionaires in the US pay no taxes . and wonder why are we in debt . workers of the world unite .
