I joke about moving to Peru with friends and I suppose occasionally on the board, but when bush comes to shove (that's MY phrase...I coined that one) I will fight and die for old glory, my family, and my constitution. Those who leave because Bush won have that right. I don't see myself as able to judge them until I have made the decision to defend instead of run. If, for example, the constitutionally protected rights are taken or broken by the government, I would like to think that I would stand up and shout. Unfortunatally that time may have come and gone. The blurring of the lines made the first shot in this supposed war very difficult to hear with all of the background noise.
All rants aside, I'm sticking around for round 44 (44th president). It will be intersting to see if the Bush family virus is still able to latch onto the big seat in the oval office.
As far as coined phrases, I would like to be the first to call it the ovum office, if Hillary wins. Not that I'm anti women president - I would have votes for MRS. Dole, or MRS. Edwards for that matter - but the jokes will have to come.
