I've been scoping out other countries to move to but haven't had any success finding many that are in any better situation than we are right now. I suppose I should just stay and take it or hope the GOP/Tea Partiers change things in 2010/2012?

1) You are just as bad the extreme left wing liberals who threaten to leave during the Bush years.

2) If you think GOP will do anything better :eek:lol: . The GOP lost their way long ago. Barry Goldwater wouldn't even recognize the party that has been high-jacked by the religious right. All they care about is the same thing the left cares about. Power. Tea Party? Ha ha ha.

3) As a Marine please let me help you pack your bags as you leave. I love my country and just because I don't agree with something I don't become a baby and threaten to leave.

Please, leave.

Oh my god.

I'm sure you were clamoring for a new country nine years ago.

True!!

And as a Marine, did you not take an oath to protect the Constitution and the United States from enemies both foreign and domestic?

What happens when the President is the one that disobeys the Constitution? You swore an oath to him as well

I've also taken an oath to protect the Constitution as well

Better to stay and fight.

Costa Rica and Bhutan would be at the top of my list. :)

I'd say Australia over New Zealand. NZ is beautiful but more of a collective mindset than Australia.

The moving to other countries is something Alec Baldwin and the Dixie Chicks perfected. Let them keep that train of thought.

There are probably some Central American countries where the politics/ideology is worse but with cash you can live above it.

Buying a massive amount of African coast seemed to work well for many people before the do gooders ruined it.

My wife and I almost went to Australia in the mid '70s, the clincher was all the deadly poisonous critters that call Australia home. Australia was actively recruiting immigrants with skills in those days. One of my children
studied there for one semester.

I've met and talked with several people from both countries over the years, I would choose New Zealand.

The libs have about ruined Australia.

Gun control geeks have won the day there for one thing.

Their enviro nuts have more control in Australia than even here.

Iceland isn't all that bad, except for all that cold weather, earthquakes and volcanoes and oh yeah they are pretty 'socialist' however they don't have to pay the way for so many nonproductive immigrants of either the legal or illegal variety.

Everthing has a price in most Spanish speaking countries, bribery is the norm.

A friend of mine who once was a Vol football player bought himself a second home in Argentina, recently he bragged to me about their socialsed health care, he got something like $10,000 worth of dental work and only had to pay $1,200 out of pocket.

I researched Thailand and figured I could live there off my life savings for almost 20 years and never work a day in my life. It's between 75-85 degrees year round there, all I would need is a hut on the beach.

I have a thing for asian women anyway.

The tax increases are coming soon, but the healthcare won't take place until after Obama runs for re-election. That way when people are pissed about their care, Obama will be a lame duck

Maybe we can nail his webbed feet to the floor but so far the LSM is touting Romney to be his opponent and Romney is about as exciting to me as a case of the flu.

Every other industrialized nation has public health care, most enacted it after WWII (we didn't because of a historical quirk).


Since we don't have a public option, if you really hate the government you should probably stay here, since it is likely "worse" in every other developed nation.

Alternatively, you could move to a 3rd world cesspool where there is no functional government at all and live the dream.
