The problem with people saying they'll move to [wherever] if someone they don't like is POTUS is that you can't just up and move to another country. There are Visa's and jobs and places to live that have to be obtained.

I could move to Canada, I have citizenship, a place to live and family throughout.

That said, I seriously doubt Palin is going to get any sort of traction to actually make a legit go at being POTUS.

I'm still waiting for Barbara Streisand to move to wherever it was she promised to move.

While you are waiting you can check to see if Steven Baldwin has moved out of the country.

Barbra.

And she never said it so it will be a long wait (she said, while at the White House for Clinton something like "if Bush wins you won't seem me around here for the next 4 years." "Here" meant the White House. I suspect she was right on that one).

However, if you want commitment, see Robert Altman. He was quite blunt about it. And he had to balls to eventually follow through by dying...eventually.

I'd be a lonely man if I had your standards.

Oh, hello friends.

I stand corrected on Streisand. A snopes link provided some info on others such as Altman and Peral Jam Vedder and Alec Baldwin.

Wonderful. Irvine City Councilman Steven Choi joins in on the idiotic comparisons of health care reform supporters to Hitler and Stalin.

And then when people called him on it, he whines that the criticism of his actions is "partisanship". :rolleyes:

And Harry Reid has compared opposition to the current health care reform to opposition of civil rights, abolishing slavery, and giving women the right to vote.

From this link:

"Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, 'slow down, stop everything, let's start over.' If you think you've heard these same excuses before, you're right," Reid said Monday. "When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said 'slow down, it's too early, things aren't bad enough.'"

He continued: "When women spoke up for the right to speak up, they wanted to vote, some insisted they simply, slow down, there will be a better day to do that, today isn't quite right.

"When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone regardless of the color of their skin, some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today."

a$$hole.

What historical parallels would you prefer where there was arguably a clear choice to upset the status quo by taking the bull by the horns and doing what was (believed to be) right in a broad strike or essentially not doing it at all by delaying, deferring and compromising? Firing the air traffic controllers?
