Poll question: If you could leave the US permanently, would you do it?
   
I ask because I live outside the US and have for about half my life. During the Bush years, it was both tough (people thought I was a bloodthirsty asshole because I was an American) and easy (all I had to do to ensure very interesting conversations was wear my "Impeach Bush and Cheney Too" DU shirt).

But now I'm suffering a combination of buyer's remorse over what Obama hasn't tried to do and how he may make a hash of health care reform, and genuine revulsion over "real Americans" at the various teabaggings and town halls. I hate what I'm seeing. I don't want to share a country with these lumps of ambulatory smegma.

In fact I *won't* share a country with 'em. I have no intention of returning to the US to live. I have about 15 active working years left and I'll spend them as an expat, and then find a civilized country to base myself in while I continue my first love, travel.

So how about you? If you could leave it all behind and set up house in the country of your choice (presuming you could find employment and an equivalent lifestyle to what you have now), would you do it?

I think that's just their equivalent of "Teh Jooooooos" for this poll, not a serious response.

Employment isn't a problem, because they would just have Mom forward the SSI check, but there is no
equivalent lifestyle anywhere in the world.

Even if they actually left, I don't think losing .0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002% of the population would mean much.

They're like ungrateful f'n kids. When they bitch and moan, you kick them out and give'em a cot and a tent. After one hour, they're begging to get back in the house. These fools truly remind me of a bunch of dumbass whiny adolescents. Difference is, these idiots vote.

The mole population at the DUmp is far more than 1%.
A few of the most vicious, most hateful, craziest posters are the moles of decent and civilized people.
They serve an honorable purpose in stirring the pot, increasing the enthusiasm of the DUmmy mob.

I was just throwing out a ball-park number, but I understand and agree with your thinking.

exactly. They might make all sorts of farting noises but they know they're just crapping in the wind. They know everything they say is lies.

Good luck with that! Hey, you know what? In America a poor person can be fat, they can eat MEAT 3 times a day instead of 3 times a month.
