Money, Taxes, and Rebates

if obama or Clinton is our next president I'm moving to Canada. for real

As one, who really cant say much about the current administration. seeing as he is the top of my chain of command. I cant talk much about my view on bush.

Now onto the others, Obama has come across as a weak choice for me. He seems to skirt around major issues with some vague answers <what politician doesnt>. Something about him just doesn't strike me as right. While he may take advice he sort of remind me of the kid that hasn't taken charge yet, and has done as everyone advised him to do. Not the sort leader we need to lead us through a recession should it come. While a leader should hear advice, they need to make the decision they know is right and stick by the guns. he just doesn't seem to be that strong.

Mrs. Clinton....I do not wish to see her in office. We all know she was the real power behind the first Clinton, and with her in the driving seat now...I'm scared. Not to sound sexist, but she is a women, other world leaders will see her as weaker. I can see her stubbornness leading us to another conflict because someone considered females inferior. I see her alot of as a bossy person, who feels she is right, even when the topic should be gray, she seems to chose white or black. No middle ground for her, I do not see her contributing much to a recession

and The other guys, the ones dropping out of the race. Some I actually hoped would got for it.

Rudy would have been a good choice...his city was attacked and and key structures destroyed.  yet he stood strong, and helped and guided it to rebuild. now the city may not be fully healed, but he's gotten it in the right track. If we were to go into a recession, I am sure, he would make proper decisions to begin our climb out of it.

maybe Ill just do what i did with the Kerry/Bush election. I'm gonna vote for my Dad

Now, I'm gonna close my blasts doors and bunker down because I know alot of people are gonna attack this.

Oh and Tommy, I already began the process of withdrawing. I will likely own some land in Canada here shortly, your welcome to pitch a tent. I'm just trying to figure out how to get my stock pile of RPG's and AK-47's back to the states without alerting ATF and INTERPOL and what not. If were going into a recession, I'm bunkering down and protecting whats mine.

As nutzy as this sound, you have to read this as you would in the Zombie Survival Guide.

Rule 1: Don't panic.  No matter who is the leader, what economic situation we're in, or if zombies are coming... losing you cool doesn't help.
Rule 2: Assess what you have/need: Take stock in what you have (in terms of supplies or assets) and think what you need to survive (in terms of supplies and more assets).  If you have a Savings Account, good credit, and a career in something that has been around for a while (aka a fry cook)... you're in decent shape.  Don't start hordeing and cutting back on everything.  You can cut back on some luxuries, but don't start starving yourselves and worrying about not having enough money.  Spending helps an economy.  It won't be like the Great Depression, but it will hurt folks.  If it's a zombie attack, see what you need, go out, buy it, and then prep yourselves to move out and run for safer pastures.
Rule 3: Be calm to all outside forces: Police, Government and such don't like the look of dissension from within.  Make sure you look like you have their back, and they will trust you to be on your own if you let them.
Rule 4: Stay loose/Liquid: Be prepared to run from zombies, crazed hordes of sad democrats, or people rioting from bad economy by keeping yourself loose, easy, and ready to run.  Same goes for your assets.  Don't keep things tied up and switch to a cash heavy situation if need be.  401k's are healthy in this as most can be rolled over into other things and are still tax defferred.

I, myself, plan on stockpiling as much as I need on a boat and sailing out to sea once the crap hits the fan and zombies/democrats/republicans come screaming out of the woodwork. 

Craig I'm also in the Obama camp. I just really hope that he can get a stronger delegate lead and become the official democrat candidate before the convention. If we don't know if its Clinton or Obama by then it could be pretty ugly.

I said the same thing about wanting to move to Canada when Bush was getting re-elected in 2004, and if McCain were to get elected, I really might consider it (although I think McCain could've done a much better job then Bush has done over the past 8 years). But I think I love America too much to ever actually leave.. I just hope that the next president can cleanup some of the mess that we are in right now.

Even though I know I shouldn't be bashing any parties here on this forum, it's hard to have respect for the current Republicans in power.

I watched a documentary today called "Jesus Camp".

Scary, disturbing. I am speachless. Watch it!

Jesus Camp.
Looks pretty scary.

I think Lewis Black said it best when he said,
"When voting for president, your voting for two piles of shit. The only difference is the smell."
