I would never leave my country because my candidate lost an election. I think staying and working to make changes is much more productive.

I think, at least for some of my friends, what's happened is that they did stay and become more productive and worked their butts off for the last four years (some longer), and, Bush is still president. I know personally of at least four people that are planning to leave. It's sad, but, I don't blame them. They seriously have been trying and trying and trying, and, rallying and rallying and rallying. And, they honestly see that the next four years are either going to be the same or change for the worse. I don't think it's turning their back on their country, necessarily. They certainly feel that their country has turned it's back on them, though.

What if someone left America because they didn't like the climate? What if they left because they didn't like what is on television or the radio in America? Would you guys still be saying they are immature, childish, turning their back on their country?

I just can't in any way see how they're being made out to be sore losers. If they don't feel safe here, let them go without looking down on them for their decision. There is a such thing as sore winners too

When the leading lights of your party are out there calling everyone who voted for the other candidate either idiotic, homophobic, or a right wing religious zealot, you have crossed the line to being a sore loser. For examples? Try Maureen Dowd, the NYT, the slate magazine staff of MSNBC.com, Michael Moore, George Soros, Cnn's talking heads.......it's a long list.

In our local paper today there was a picture of a Nicaraguan woman here in North Carolina clutching a tiny American flag, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks, who had just been sworn in by the Immigration and Naturalization Service as a citizen of the United States. At that very moment there could not have been a person more proud to be an American than her.

A picture like that puts this talk of emigration into perspective for what it really is: talk.
