Where are you moving to?

In what seems like an election year tradition, I figure I'll give the drama queens and whiners an opportunity to let us know how liberal/conservative they are by letting the whole board know where you will move to if your candidate doesn't win.

Now, I in no way expect anyone to follow through on such empty and self-important "threats" (how many people moved to Canada or France because of Bush?), but I think it might be entertaining.

If Obama wins it's just one more sign the Rapture is at hand so I expect I'll be moving to heaven soon.

Only Hollywood stars whine about moving if they don't get their way. Johnny Depp was the only one to follow through with it and move to France. Now if only Barbara Streisand would make good on her whining. I'll be more than happy to kick in her in the butt to get her started in the direction of France.

Actually, I think Depp moved prior to 2000. He claimed America had become too violent a society. Ironic since at the time I read that interview, he was plugging Once Upon a Time in Mexico.

And I've known lots of people, both on the internet and real life who made the claim of moving to Canada or France the last 2 elections.

Australia. One day. Eventually. Becuase I'm from there. And my wife wants to maybe retire there. Maybe Hawaii between now and then sometime. Nothing to do with the election though. Just gloating.

If McCain wins then I'm moving to Mexico (I think I'll become a gardener).

Endor. The ewoks are cool with gun ownership and the taxes are low.

I voted for Obama, but if McCain wins I will give him a chance.
If McCain dies in office and Sarah Palin becomes the President, I hear Australia is pretty nice.....

Be wary if you suddenly notice a new "Moon" orbiting the planet.

I'd be more concerned with the vast amounts of waste and pollutants that rained down after the last moon.

The Endor Holocaust was a myth perpetrated by the Ewokist elites to secure them a new planet and sympathy so they could control the galaxy.

Moved? He sure spends alot of time at his TWO houses, just off Sunset by the Chateau M. At least for someone who lives in France. The second one he bought off Morrissey, next door to his main pad. The property he bought his mom back home is the best, though.

If Obama Wins, I am moving to the fridge to get a beer.

If McCain wins I will require something stronger so I will move over to the cabinet that stores my tequila supply.

I win either way.

Then change your name to Chance. Or do you just talk the talk?

I'm not going anywhere. Things have a way of righting themselves over time. If Obama and the democrat majorities can't deliver nirvana and pay for peoples gas and mortgages, they won't be able to hide behind the media any longer and blame President Bush.

My first prediction is one out of the Clinton playbook. Shortly after taking office, President Obama will be shocked I say, shocked, that the finances won't allow for tax cuts.
