ANNOUNCEMENT FROM FRANKSOLICH from 2008; now for 2012

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM FRANKSOLICH

PRESS RELEASE FROM FRANKSOLICH

QUERY FROM FRANKSOLICH

Today I noticed the first "I'm leaving the U.S. if McCain is elected" comment by a primitive.

I forget which primitive it was, but when I go back, I'll find it.

Anyway, this is a request to any and all who are interested, that any time a DUmmie or primitive pledges to leave the country if McCain is elected, it be brought to my attention.  No links or anything necessary; just the name of the DUmmie or primitive, and the approximate date and forum where the comment was made.

I want to compile a list, to see how many actually depart these hallowed shores.

I'm going to leave this ANNOUNCEMENT BY FRANKSOLICH sticked over the weekend, after which I'll unsticky it.  I want this posted long enough to get engraved in people's minds, so that if they notice something the next few months, they'll holler at me.

You really ought to have links and dates, that way the primitives can't get away with claiming that they never said they'd leave.  As I recall, that was a problems with certain Hollywood airheads after the election of our Glorious Chimperor.

[franksolich]

I can find the links, Winner, as long as I have the name and the approximate date and forum.

The first one's the cool turd primitive:

2. AC, hard times BUT they will get better...

I have nothing but the UTMOST confidence that the American people will NOT sign their own death warrant by electing McCain.

If they do, I'm heading for Rotterdam!

I found one from May, but it was Susan Sarandon.  Nothing recent.

Coach, I'd like to suggest screencaps as well.  That way, it's tougher for the DUmb****s to evade.

[Wretched Excess]

that means that they were just touched by the cold finger of reality for the first time about this election;  they
really could lose.

And it scares the Hell out of them.

[franksolich]

Okay, I did that.

Thanks to Chris, who showed me how some time ago.

Chris is my best friend of life.

[BlueStateSaint]

Kudos and H5 to Chris.  Come to think of it, another H5 to you, Coach, for coming up with this idea.

There's something else I want to tell you, Coach, but this thread isn't the place.  (It has to do with "The Heiress."  She's coming along rather nicely.)

[mamacags]

This is going to be AWESOME!!!!!!! Thanks franksolich for the incredible giggle factor this will create!

[DixieBelle]

Excellent idea!!

I'm still waiting for most of Hollywood to leave....

[Tucker]

Is there a screencap 101 someplace?

[BlueStateSaint]

Is there a screencap 101 someplace?

Paging Chris!  Please pick up the red VRWC phone!

[LC EFA]

Is there a screencap 101 someplace?

In windows Pressing the prt-scn button copies the contents of the screen to the clipboard.

Once you do that open MSPAINT by clicking start , then run , typing mspaint into the box there , and pressing enter.

When mspaint has opened, click edit , then paste.

You can then edit / save as desired.

Alternatively one can press ALT-PRTSCN and the contents of the active window (rather than the entire screen) will be copied to the clipboard .

Where do we go if it's McCain (winning the presidency)?

Edited on Tue Mar-18-08 07:28 PM by mmonk
Given that the democratic congress has not shown a strong enough propensity to defend the US constitution, what do we as citizens and democrats do next?

5. Move to Canada.
   
I don't care what I have to do to gain the Canadian government's permission to enter, either. I have had enough. I really do believe this is our last chance.

28. You can't afford Vancouver anymore.
   
Not only is the American Dollar crashing relative to the
Loonie, but Vancouver real-estate prices are through the
roof as they prepare for the 2010 Olympics.

We'd be there if we could, but I don't think we can .

11. Me too. Canada is too cold (and we can't work there)- I'm thinking
   
somewhere in the Caribbean or Mexico but I'm open to suggestions. I really don't think I'm going to want to stay here under a McShame presidency.

25. Canada time
   
Ive already given my pre-notice to family, friends, and my boss. The second we start bombing Iran, my car is going north with me and whatever I can fit in it. Whatever doesn't fit I write off.

22. You Are 100% Correct. We're At the Point of No Return
   
McCain will drag us into a war in Iran, and once that starts, we will be in wars in the Middle East for a generation or more, and it will no longe matter who we vote for, for congress or who we nominate in 2012. For intents and purposes, the America that we grew up with in the 20th century will be long gone, and there will be no coming back. No return.

McCain is surrounded by the same neocons that surrounded Bush, and they will interpret McCain's election as approval for the past 8 years of Bush. We will get tax cuts for the wealthy, wars, enormous budget deficits, wars, no health care, wars, no jobs, wars, and more wars.

Here's something else that you should consider. The best, brightest, and most enlightened of us will leave the U.S. as well. No sane, intelligent parent is going to let their kid get drafted into a war in the ME. They too will flee, and you will see a giant brain drain in America.

I too will move out of this country if McCain wins, and next month, I take my first big step.

51. I've sworn to give up and leave the country too - any suggestions on where to go?
   
Especially if you don't have a bunch of money?

36. Me. There are more and more reports that McCain is becoming more
   
confused and forgetful. We already know he's willing to bend over to win.

So, I wonder who his Cheney will be? Not necessarily his VP, but who will really be pulling his strings?

I'd be ready to leave, too. I've become afraid of my own country.

I have not posted them as pictures to reduce to impact on my photobucket account, so you will need to go there and save them, if you have any problems doing so please PM me.

[franksolich]

No problem, sir; I'm having a busy weekend, and when it's over, I'll go swipe them and post them from my photobucket account, probably Monday evening or something.

Nuttin happens when I hit Print screen. I'll keep trying.

[franksolich]

Nuttin happens when I hit Print screen. I'll keep trying.

The way Chris showed me:

(a) open Internet Explorer (this might work on Firefox; I never tried)
(b) go to the page to be saved
(c) hit "print screen" on keyboard
(d) open Paint
(e) in Paint, go to "edit," select copy
(f) presto!

I save as a jpg, after reducing the image to 60-75%, then take it to photobucket.

When I hit "print screen", nothing happens. I go paint , then "edit" but the "edit" is subdued. Clicking on it is not an option.

[Chris]

Try Alt- or Ctrl-Print Screen.

If that doesn't work, try Shift-Print Screen.

[franksolich]

Damn.  I erred on "e," Tucker.  Sorry.

Instead of "copy," hit "paste."

And yes, it works in Firefox too.

It's a good thing I don't write instruction manuals.
