But passports don't last a few weeks. BTW, the 90 to 180 day limit applies if you visit the country without a visa.

Applying for a Visa & getting it granted can take weeks, months, or even years.

These fools that are petitioning to leave the USA now, since they're sore losers, are the same ones that think that Obama is Un American?

Exactly.

Applying for a Visa & getting it granted is not as simple of a process as you may think.

The rest of the world hates the US. What makes you think they want our people coming to live in their country?

With the craptacular economic data we're getting right now, it looks like maybe they did fudge the numbers leading up to the election. So how about starting a petition to allow people to take back their votes for Obama in the states they voted in? You voted for Obama, there has to be a Lemon Law that applies to the Presidency.

I'd love if Texas seceded or divided into 5 separate states, which it very well could. We're big enough to be our own country & have all of the resources to do so for the next several hundred years. The US would hurt without Texas. We're the 2nd largest GDP in the US after California & 13th largest in the whole world.

Everything is bigger in Texas so don't MESS with us!

What if people want to secede from these United States and go back to living in the REAL United States?

Dozens of countries would welcome you with open arms. Granted, they're not necessarily considered the most attractive options, but if it's a matter of principle, most of Middle and South America are notoriously happy to grant residency for US expats.

Sounds like a case of voter fraud to me.

Romney Won Zero Votes In 9 Cleveland Precints, 59 Philadelphia Precincts | TheBlaze.com
Oh, good grief.

That story is full of fallacies, inaccuracies, overreactions, and suppositions.

1) In very Democratic Philadelphia, 59 out of 1600-something precincts going pure Democratic is no big surprise; the article indeed does mention that in 2008, McCain received no votes in 57 of Philadelphia's precincts. That's what, barely more than 3 percent?

Quote:
“We have always had these dense urban corridors that are extremely Democratic,” said Jonathan Rodden, a political science professor at Stanford University. “It’s kind of an urban fact, and you are looking at the extreme end of it in Philadelphia.”
2) The map of Cuyahoga County shows precincts in deep blue -- in very Democratic Cleveland and East Cleveland -- that voted for Obama at 80 to 100 percent; yet the article states

Quote:
Note the pure blue areas, where Obama is supposed to have won this full, every-single-vote sweep.
ignoring the fact that the legend clearly states that the vote for Obama in the "pure blue areas" was not 100 percent, but 80 to 100 percent.

3) Nine precincts in Cuyahoga County went for Obama at 100 percent. Nine.

Next ...
