Some of the analogies made are not exactly flattering.

Seems very bizarre behaviour and I for one think its just media baloney as per usual
I didn't see republicans leaving the country by droves when the morally bankrupt pervert Clinton won a 2nd term...food for thought
Fight or Flight?
Surely the fact that the result was 59 million v 55 million(hardly a landslide) means there are still other like minded people like yourself about so why not stay and become a thorn in the butt of the establishment
The best way to bring down something you strongly disagree with is from inside not out
No one party stays in power for ever.
Only 5 years ago the democrats were in power
As for that line about any American being associated in a negative way with the war in IRAQ
Surely the obvious answer is stay put in the US of A

Where does this idea of hate come from Bimmercat? I've noticed that you are very fond of using the word to describe people whose views you disagree with. Is that your small-minded, biased way of dismissing criticism?
I guess that you can't comprehend that some of us are unhappy about many aspects of US government policy and. in a wider sense, the all pervasise influence of Uncle Sam as manifest in globalisation and the big Mac.

"for I knew his kind of leadership would run its course and he'd be gone soon."
Surely you mean to say - I knew that he'd have to leave office after his second term - his departure had nothing to do with his kind of leadership.
"If you look at the famous "blue state/red stat" map on how the election went, it is easy to see that the Kerry voters (blue states) are a very small mass, when compared to the red states. They're a small minority, located on the edges of each coast...thats all."
Yeah thats right - the lower the population density the more important the vote - surely no-one can be this dim??
"The media,in its brilliance, loves to make it out that theres an even split...a great divided America, but its not an even split at all."
Yeah - a 51% to 48% split in the vote - thats an enormous difference - those media types really are thick to suggest that its an even split.
"voting for someone out of hate just won't cut it for thinking people...sorry."
Thinking people?? - Are those the ones that look at a map, see that the areas of lower population density voted for Bush and believe that this is proof that only a small minority voted for Kerry?? If these are the thinking Americans, god knows what the non-thinking ones must be like.

Elections are won by showing up your opponents weaknesses through Negative Advertising-and didn't those in the bible belt states just lap it up
Blind faith won the election not any viable plan for the future
Elections have always been always been won using negative tactics...both sides did it...both told outrageous lies because mud sticks
It doesn't suprise me that 55 Million people voted against George W Bush
In many ways its a class war.....rich v poor
After september 11 with people losing their jobs hand over fist what did he do to stimulate a recovery...gave tax cuts to the rich to stimulate jobs growth-abject failure.....very symbolic IMHO
Maybe now that the 2nd term is in cession he might stop listening to those advisors that told him to invade IRAQ...God help us if North Korea is next
Fleeing to the Moon might be the ony option left
