What a McCain Victory Could Mean: No Money for Health Care and the End of Our Volunteer Army

Beyond the words, McCain's global war strategy is as hawkish, if not more so, than Bush's. In late 2001 and early 2002, McCain took the lead in pushing the neocon plan of a rapid pivot from the invasion of Afghanistan toward the prospective invasion of Iraq.

Even before the Taliban had been thoroughly defeated -- and as the Bush administration was failing to chase bin Laden to the gates of Tora Bora or to the gates of northwest Pakistan -- McCain was advocating a diversion of U.S. intelligence and military assets toward Iraq's Saddam Hussein, who had nothing to do with 9/11.

Fleeing the country looks like a good idea if people can't get their act together and keep McSane from winning in November.  Wanna come with me Nichole?

Ummm, only if I get to bring a few friends and family and we live in Southern France, Jenn.

I'm thinking maybe there's some hope that leaving won't work as well as voting may.

At various times during the last 8 years, we've been tempted to move to Canada. If McSame wins, we very well might have to leave. I don't think I can take another 4 or 8 years of this! Another option, New England could just secede

Didn't they try that once already sometime between 1796 and 1816?

From what I have been reading, the Canadians are not all that hyped on everyone heading there (can you blame them). I have been contemplating that move for a while now.
