roachboy,
I truthfully fail to see why you are surprised and offended.
Constantly I read things on this board that disparage my country and my president and the choices I've made in the last election and I'm supposed to let those slide and maintain a polite demeanor. I can't even begin to tell you how old it is when people use terms like "Bushies" and "Bushites" when refering to those that think differently than them. I have also seen more than a little melodramaticism regarding Bushes re-election, when history has shown that America has gone through much worse and survived just fine.
As to you leaving the country, what do you want from me? Sympathy? Empathy?
I'm sorry, but I have neither.
If you and others want to give up your citizenship and leave over something that in the greater scheme of things is a minor bump, that's your perogative, but don't expect me to feel bad for you.
And please be assured, I would have said the same thing to any republican that voiced the same thoughts after Clinton was elected to his second term.
