New Civi War risk as Mormons threaten secession ...

[_Chap]

Well, those 3,399 people who have signed so far are probably mostly Mormons, since they live in Utah:

And it's not just Utah.

If you won't let my buddy be President, I'm going home and I'll never play with you again. So there.

Actually, has anybody asked Romney what he thinks of this?

[_zeezrom]

Oh dear.

Maybe they could try moving to Canada. Sorry for the suggestion, LDST.

[_Res Ipsa]

It's not just the Mormons. It's all the residents of soreloserville. Their patriotism is conditional on winning an election.

Several have said that that's what they plan to do - either Canada, or Australia.

While I suspect that the US may be happy to be rid of them, I'm not sure that their intended destinations actually want them. If I had any say in it (for Canada) I'd say 'no!'.

They need to find a country that runs a government to their liking. Which country is that?

My son says he's moving his family to the wilderness of Montana.

His wife isn't going to let that happen.

Oh, wow. If they did that, they could practice polygamy again.

I don't know for certain, but I expect that none of the western democracies would fit the bill.

In any case, I doubt that Canada, for one, would satisfy them. For starters:
- every legal resident (and most undocumented ones) get medical care that is paid for from general government revenues, and the vast majority of the population are happy with that
- likewise for education - the education boards in Ontario have told the government that they (the boards) will not police the immigration system, but will educate any child who comes to school
- I believe that our current governing party, which is on the right of the Canadian political spectrum, would likely be considered 'big bad evil socialists' in the US
- a former prime minister, when threatened with not being allowed communion by the Catholic church (over either abortion or SSM - can't remember which), told his bishop to take a hike, that religion has no place in politics
- in general, nobody here cares if a politician is Christian, Hindu, Muslin, atheist, gay, straight, male, female - or any of the other characteristics that don't prevent them from conscientiously representing their constituents
