Republicans to flee DC for inauguration

selected not elected

John A I know that your comment comes from fear and ignorance. I am very happy that every white male in America does not think the same way that you do.

Would you want to be a white guy in DC when Obama takes over? It will be open season.

I think the only ones at war are the so called conservatives, I hope they leave for good, maybe they can move to Iraq or Israel where they have so much invested in killing innocent people.

The republicans have a bit of class... And this is the giving thing to do so that more of Obama's supporters can have access to the festivities. It means so much the people who really worked hard to get Obama in office.

“The Inauguration of Barack Obama will be a great moment for our country and the planners have a major logistical feat to pull off,” said Sheridan. “I figure I’m leaving a little extra room for my Democrat friends to enjoy it up close.”

Also as far as protesting, I don't think they are that interested in putting on a dog and pony show. Someone has to have sanity and stop the liberal/conservative war.

I didn't quite follow the Oprah book club comment. I have heard of Oprah, of course (Queen of Tawdry TV?). But what do Republicans and books have to do with each other? Republicans and clubs, yes. Republicans and books? You mean, like, PICTURE books? Or as in "cooked the books?" Or as in "constantly BEING booked?" Or as in Ann Coulter authoring a "book." Yeah, I know, a bridge too far...

Great idea Banshewail. You have the perfect response. Perhaps Palin could give them a tour since she can see Russia from her home maybe she will move there, but the Russians would not want her or her crew either.

Ahhhh man you mean Sarah Palin might not be there... darn!

Perhaps, they weren't invited to stay in DC.

lol...here we go, the Oprah book club members in full swing.

Who's gonna miss them?

Its customary that the party that is in office leaves during the week of inauguration this really isn't news.

For some reason the image that came to me was more along the lines of scared children running in all directions after lighting the fuse of a particularly large firecracker (read: stick of dynamite) on Independence Day. The bigger the stick the faster and farther they run. Thank heaven there are grown-ups around to grimly clean up the damage.

Leave, stay, or protest, I could care less. I just wish they would:

1) Acknowledge they were hideously wrong about George Bush and the Bush administration's policies.

2) Admit that their desire to see free market capitalism run America is a nightmarishly bad idea.

3) Continue with their rascist, fundamentally religious, morally bankrupt drive to become a regional party of the South.

That last comment in the article, "If the Democrats pulled a disrespectful stunt like this, we'd never hear the end of it. " It could be argued that the democrats done worse. If I recall correctly, the 2000 and 2004 inauguration was full of protesters. Some were holding signs that read "God Save Us" So. Would you rather have the Republican quietly leave D.C for a few days or would you rather them line the streets with picket signs?

thats funny, keeping up the stereotype that once a black family moves into the neighborhood all the white people move

who knows maybe they are running from the end of the world!!!! I know If i was in washington that day I would run.

Every Titanic has to sink at sometime.

If your power is cut you look for a place that helps to regain power. For awhile the Republicans will wait for a screw up by people in power. Than they will come with a vengeance, storm Capitol hill and take over USA. Maybe they even burn capitol hill and build a palace of the elephant.

Bansheewail thank you for this information. have been watching CNN all day .

I wish they'd just keep going. Maybe, they can all retreat to Alaska and protect us from Russia.
