U.S. Liberals Debate Flight Versus Fight

Joanna Harmon is considering whether to leave the United States for Canada. Nik and Nancy Phelps practically have visas in hand to set up business in Belgium. Joan Magit and her husband are eyeing Vancouver. Amy Gertz moved to the United States from Canada two and a half years ago - she's now moving back.

These are scary times for progressive Americans. Many feel isolated and embarrassed by the actions of the U.S. government. Some are downright terrified at what will happen if Bush is re-elected in November. When politics get too bleak, it's comforting to remind ourselves that we can always move to another country. But how many of us are serious about it?

we want all of our liberal "friends" to read this it might give them ideas.

[68skylark]

This is great!

[jocon307]

Bon Voy-agee as Bugs Bunny (a great American) would say.

[Bahbah]

What a wonderful idea.

[highlander_UW]

Honestly, I think the republicans would support a democrat bill that would subsidize liberals in moving to other countries...as if the dems would support their voter base in leaving the nation...LOL.

[TBarnett34]

I've volunteered to buy one-way plane tickets out of the USA for all of my liberal America-hating buddies. No takers yet.

[loboinok]

Might have to take up a collection to help with tickets for the poorer RATS!

[BurbankErnie]

FReeps could take up a collection for more "progressives" to go to France.....

[wattsmag2]

Here's hoping the screen door DOES hit these people in the ass on their way out. Siyonara suckers.

[OldSmaj]

But how many of us are serious about it?

Well, you'd think that well-known (but not necessarily successful) celebrities such as Alec Baldwin and a few others would not have said if they didn't mean it, but their stinking butts are still here.

So apparently no one is serious about.

And who the hell cares if they leave anyway?

Good riddance to 'em.

[bereanway]

And just when you thought it couldn't get any better.

[EagleUSA]

Would this not be fantastic. Why don't they all leave? Do they need any financial help with ONE WAY tickets??

All kidding aside, this is VERY typical of the power-centric Dems. When they find they are losing, they vacate Washington like Floridians running from a hurricane. Power is what they are ALL about. When they do not have it, there is no other reason for being in Washington -- great Americans, the ones elected by the YELLOW DOG DEMS to run our great country, right?? Nothing but a bunch of power and control freaks living off your tax dollars.

When the going gets tough, the Dems run. As always. Any way we get little Tommy Dash-hole out of Washington???

[So Cal Rocket]

Don't let the door hit your butt on the way out.

[hershey]

'Progressive' is a code word for communist.

[vbmoneyspender]

fly away little birds.

[tet68]

Belgium
Belgium?

Right, no muslims there.
Besides, it's close to france.

Do you have to be braindead to be a liberal or just a moron.

[July 4th]

Let's have a big round of applause for the "flight" group!

[goldstategop]

Let them all move to Canuckistan on November 3rd and let the door hit them all in their ugly Bush-hating butts on the way out.

[Artemis Webb]

I will personally wash the car of every liberal on their way out of the country and into the lovely mountains of Canada (in an exchange for a promise not to return).

Question to Freepers: Can Bondo take a good washing?

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Bah...it's the same old talk that they played right before the 2000 election, but hey...here's to hoping that a lot of them actually DO IT!

See ya later, b!tches!
