An unthinkable question?
What would you do if the Republicans actually win the White House for 4 or 8 more years? We like to tell ourselves it isn't possible but with this bunch of wimps that we have leading our Party, especially in the House and Senate, anything is possible. If the unthinkable indeed did happen, what would you do? Woud you just give up? Or would you keep fighting for 4 more years?

3. I don't know what would happen.. It would probably mobilize everyone
off their asses to head to Washington to demand their "bread".

21. A true police state/ true civil wars/break up etc may be your vision of the end,
but it's not mine.

7. the only thing scarier than another repuke pres is a repuke congress
I hope that whatever happens in the 2008 election, we dont lose the congress again two years later like we did in the "Contract With America" days of Newt, just as we did two years after Bill won.

It just seems like we are stuck in a repeating rut.

8. I'd move -
Thinking Canada because of the Health Care, but it's too damn cold. Australia is looking good, or perhaps somewhere in the Caribbean.

12. Such A Question
Honestly, I do not even want to think about such a terrible possibility.

Instead of thinking about such a negative possibility, I'd much prefer to spend my time thinking positively.

Stuff like this just depresses me.

It's too important for petty squabbles.

14. I haven't heard this claptrap for almost 4 years. Let me guess the responses..
It can't happen.....move out of country.....cry.....revolution.

What will actually happen? People will come to the DU and piss and moan in GD and GDP about the rigged elections for a couple months until the Mods close the door on the election reform dungeon.

17. Having lived through Ike, Nixon, Reagan, Bush, and triangulation, I'd shrug.
I'm getting kind of old to start building barricades in the streets and waving red flags...again.

20. Move to Canada.
No kidding. My husband and I have actually discussed that option. I can't take another 8 years of Repug propaganda.
