In the heavily Democratic state, famous for its Hollywood- and San Francisco-inspired latte liberal politics, such talk has become increasingly common at Starbucks and at dinner parties.
At first, the threat was little more than a joke. Now, on the eve of one of the most polarized elections in recent history, some say they really do intend to leave should ''the worst'' occur.
There seems little doubt Californians will deliver the state's valuable 55 electoral votes to the Democratic candidate. In a poll on Friday, Mr. Kerry had a seven-point lead statewide, with a 24-point lead in Los Angeles county and a 35-point lead in the San Francisco Bay area.
But fear at what may happen in the key swing states of Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania has led to an escalation in coffee-shop chatter about emigration to Canada, Britain and elsewhere.
''Do you think Great Britain would give us political asylum?'' a woman in Starbucks asked. ''It's just ... I don't think I can stay if Bush wins again.''
DLTDHYAOTWO!
Don't let the door hit your a@@ on the way out!
Bye-Bye
Bye.
If only they would all leave...
Don't let the screen door hit ya where The Good Lord split ya!
I'll help buy a ticket!
The lady in Starbucks would do herself a favor, and us too, buy moving overseas. Might just as well dumb down the rest of the world.
Good. Renounce your citizenship and don't let the door hit your @$$ on the way out.
If only they would all leave...
''Do you think Great Britain would give us political asylum?''
Ya know, Tony Blair is Prime Minister of Britain and he...
Oh, never mind.
if bus loses. i don't think I can stay
if bush loses. i don't think I can stay
Promises, promises. The more loons like this that leave, the better off we will be. Unfortunately, you can never take them at their word. What a bunch of throw back losers.
These people are all talk and no action. I wish they would follup-up and leave.
We should start a fundraiser here on FR to help them keep their promise.
I don't care one way or the other whether these people leave the country. But here's the deal, friend: don't come back here for work before the entire 4 years are up.
You want to live in another country? Great, you work there too.
Please God, let millions of liberals leave this nation if GW Bush wins. Perhaps they could live in a country that would be more of a fit to their philosophy: Cuba, China, North Korea.....
It is not even eleciton day and Free Republic is unstable.
Is it a loose nut behind the steering wheel, or do we need to donate more so they can afford a better server?
Buh bye. Bye now. Thanks for screwing things up for the rest of us for so long. Have a nice trip. Buh bye.
