On this I agree, and the only cure for the badness is for the GOP to evac.

Always a pleasure.

While I may agree with you, it does not serve my purposes to admit to it here.

Here, our goal should be (with apologies to Australia) to encourage the idea that these few individuals are precious as diamonds, that they will get the last laugh, and that we will be righteously destroyed by their departure.

If only they will make good on their offers and go.

They really wouldn't like it here.

Heavy gun restrictions
No capital punishment
Abortion is readily available (as is contraception)
Public health care system
High taxation that is graduated depending on income

Oh and a female Prime Minister who is not married (lives with partner) and an atheist.

But no gay marriage (yet)

Alec Baldwin
Robert Altman
Eddie Vedder...

Others, like Cher, Barbara Streisand, Lynn Redgrave ( deceased ), were rumored to have threatened to leave, but those claims were never confirmed.

Pierre Salinger ( deceased ) , who wasn't specifically 'Hollywood', was still a Democratic celeb, of note, fulfilled his promise.

But keep in mind, unlike many Hollywood celebs, these folks are no where near the prima donna's , just pining for attention. Like I said... we may not know their names, or even the companies they run, but if they do pull up and 'Shrug', it's going to cause some ripples.

Very strict, or they were, 10 years ago.

You need to have a sponsor, and if you plan to work, need to show how anyone hiring you can justify it over hiring an Auzzie. Of course, if folks are coming to retire, and have no plans on taking a job, but instead just spend money... that might be different.

Least, that's how it was explained to me from some guys I know who lived here for a short time.

Sensing a pattern here. The discussion wasn't " the GOP ", but average, private American citizens, fed up w/ the massive tax / spend / regulation fest that's coming w/ Obama 2.0.

They're Americans. Folks born of an who love freedom, and they see that freedom being threatened by Obama. They're not part of some gang, or tribe, who all blindly follow along with what their elected officials say.

And those officials? Most were ASKED about those issues, weren't offering it , and some stuck their foot in their mouths. Apologies were made. Didn't matter, the " damage " had been done. They didn't embezzle, didn't cheat on anyone, didn't break any laws, just said some stupid stuff. Or,in some cases, didn't say anything 'stupid' at all, but because of the shark frenzy mindset of the MSM, which loves to blow stories way out of proportion, a false narrative gets born.

Yes we have very strict rules. No more right wingers allowed in the country as we have enough of our own and we are on strict quotas.

Carbon tax is a woeful scam. Unnecessary, excessive intrusion into the lives of individuals, by an over bearing federal govt.
