#1 It’s one thing to say ’I’m leaving for Canada’ and quite another to actually find a job here and wonder about where you’re going to live and where the children are going to go to school

eh? Why do I have to do all that? Isn't that the job of the Glorious Socialist Peoples Collective party leaders?

#2 There's always Mexico... and wouldn't that be a switch?

#3 Find a job? Huh? You gotta be kidding me. I hate Bush, hate America, hate Israel - that's enough to get jihadis in... so what's with the frickin' double standard?

Oh, I get it. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge... I'll work for a "fundraising" organization, heh. Cool.

#4 There are no jobs in Canada, so the D's will
have problems with this.

#6 Rooters didn't mention that Canada actively discourages Americans from coming to Canada to work. I assume they don't want Yankee wetbacks stealing Canadian jobs. I've been turned back at the border more than once.

#7 No one knows what it's like
To be the moonbat
To wear tinfoil hats
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it's like
For Bush haters
To be fated
To losing and to cry

But my brains
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I screamed like Howard, the Vermont gov'ner
When the SwiftVets
They beat Ker-ree . . .

(Apologies to Peter Townsend & the Who)

#8 There's always Mexico... and wouldn't that be a switch?

They should also try the illegal immigrant method. That'd be even more of a switch.

#9 would have to stand in line like any other would-be immigrants -- a wait that can take up to a year

Can, but usually doesn't. Though your application might be automatically rejected if you come from Texas.

#10 

I wonder how many Dems will really relinquish their American passports and learn Québécois French? Canada is a huge country, the defeated Dems can skip Québéc since they have their pick of other provinces, IF any following through on their threats and IF the Canadian government allows these rejects to enter.

#11 Here is one Canadian (and on mild, but damp, Vancouver Island no less) who is willing to direct exchange one Canadian citizenship plus job for US citizenship. Think I should put this on Ebay?

#12 Debbie - That would be a wild ride on eBay!!! Killer idea! It would last about 15 minutes before they quashed your offer, but you might get picked up by the news services for it. Lol! Waay funny. *kudos*

If you do it, post a link to it here and we'll pass it along to Fox - Brit would laugh his ass off!

#13 I'm sure they can sneak across and get jobs trimming bushes, babysitting, and cooking for Canadian elitists......

#14 Post an appropriate photograph and you might catch a husband. Lot's of Russian girls seem to be trying it.

#15 Debbie:

Speaking for myself, we're always looking for a few good, hard-working immigrants. To quote Prof. Peter Schramm, who came here from Hungary in 1956:

When I asked my father why we were going to the U.S., he said "Because we were born Americans, but in the wrong place."

#16 OK. I am on EBay. I am not an ebay regular so I signed up and everything. In the Everything Else, Weird Stuff, Slightly Unusual. Should show up today at 8:15 EST. Hope it works!

Mrs. Davis - no pictures, don't want to scare anyone.

#17 Cool! I hope it slips through the "net" long enough to be seen, lol! Thx, Debbie - a great idea!

#18 Debbie - got a direct link? I'm not seeing it... paging thru everything... prolly cuz eBay's slower than hell, but a direct link would sure help!

#19 Ha! I finally found it - and it's perfect. I emailed Brit at Fox News (special@foxnews.com) suggesting it as the "interesting" item of the day. Bravo, Debbie!

If inclined, RBers, do the same!

#20 Spunk like that, you might get yourself married to an American anyway :-). Send .com a picture - he'll hook you up.

#22 I'm not game, but gave her a $10 bid so she at least gets a good six pack out of this one.

#23 Very good auction.

I have toyed with the idea of moving to Alberta to be near friends. My politics are to right wing to get in the country as an imigrant however.

#24 "It’s one thing to say ’I’m leaving for Canada’ and quite another to actually find a job here and wonder about where you’re going to live and where the children are going to go to school"

What makes this person think the DU'ers have jobs and children? The vast majority of marrieds with jobs, children, mortgages and a stake in society voted for Bush.
