What will you do if the Republicans steal another Presidential election?
I have made arrangements to leave the country, forever. I have prepared my family members for this possibility.

I would stay, but a nation that is willing to acquiesce to tyranny once again is not worth fighting for.

If you disagree, tell me why. If you have other plans, please elaborate.

What will YOU do in the highly likely event that the Republicans try to steal yet another Presidential election?

1. Back to work for Halliburton in the oilfields, barring a military recall.

2. We discussed Costa Rica 2 years ago. Seriously. The topic could be up for discussion again.

4. Yes - I think it will be time to leave unless large numbers turn out to protest...

5. I will take to the streets. Actual protests the way you see in
other countries. Not sit on my ass and moan.

And then I'll get bitter and give up my low-paying public service job and go private sector. You can only beat your head against the wall for so long.

And if people really are jaskass-y enough to really vote for McSame instead of Obama, what can you do? What can you really do against a nation of Sam Wurlitzers or whatever the hell his name is?

6. Fight back. I already told my family and my HR rep at work that if
the 'pukes try to steal this one, I will be GONE. I'll crawl to D.C. on my hands and knees if I have to; I'll chain myself to the Supreme Court doors and go on hunger strike; I'll do SOMETHING - but I'll be out there as Miss Molly thought we should be, banging pots and pans, or waving my pitchfork, or SOMETHING.

Not. This. Time.
Not while there is breath in my body.
I'll fight until they call me a terrorist and lock me up at Gitmo.
I'll fight until I die.
NOT. THIS. TIME.

9. No.
Stay right here and keep fighting. Even a losing cause, if it is the right cause, is worth fighting for. America is the right cause. The America I love is the right cause.

IF the Repubs steal the election (and that's a bif IF), I will stay here and do my best to expose that. And all of the rest of their criminal activities. I will scream it from my roof, even if no one is listening. I will never give up. Never.

The cost is too high to give up.

My daughter teaches me that without even speaking a word.

10. Stop earning taxable income to fund the fascists.
Start a nonprofit foundation and transfer my practice to it. Or sell out altogether and go live in a shack on a little piece of land and earn just enough to keep myself alive.

I'm dead serious. I will not support them financially.
