*waves* Have fun! Seriously, if all of those Osamabots want to get away from "oh-so-horrible" America and that "terrible dictator" George Bush and move to Canada, be my guest; less morons in the country.
Now, there are some nice Democrats out there; and I was impressed by John Kerry's maturity at the end of the election. However, there's a good amount of Democrats out there who are just plain jackasses (which is what they were anyway, I suppose...) and total hypocrites.
It's true that Republicans aren't as informed and caring about the people around them like Democrats are; however, at least Republicans realize reality.
I could've sworn you were my older brother there for a moment. He said the exact same thing to me a year ago (without the "osamabots" bit). But one should know that having a different opinion than the president or the hardcore left is not moronic.
And I don't consider George Bush a terrible dictator, no, that would be giving him too much credit.
As for the democrat thing, don't generalize. Not all democrats were enthusiastic about Kerry, myself included. I wanted the guy from New Hampshire... Sadly, knowing the way voting goes in our nation, one has no choice but to vote for the creep, lest one rewards a vote to the president. -_

I don't want to get into a never-ending arguement here, but I just want to point out that the reality America is faced with now is not one that has done anything but decline in past four years, and does not look like it is going to reverse that action anytime soon under the current government. In all seriousness, at this current rate of inflation the Canadian dollar, which was once valued at only 63 cents in the past few years, could usurp the American dollar before the next presidential election. Considering that the American currency has been tops for decades, it's a very scary thought that it could be in such decline that other currencies are beginning to lap it. The budget had gone from a surplus to a deficit as war mongering drains the treasuries, with no end (as promised had come by Bush himself earlier this year) in sight

It's true that we are having a lot of economic problems, but there is not much a president can do about it besides make more jobs, etc. which still isn't much. The economy goes in a cycle, through good and bad. You can only hope it doesn't get worse

Your ability to find pertinent and obscure links never ceases to amaze me. I shall make it my duty to marry a good looking, single, wealthy American man with similar interests and beliefs if one so ever makes his intentions to become a Canadian--all in the spirit of diplomacy and good will, of course. ;p
Well, it can get to about -30 at absolute maximum (including wind-chill) here in Southern Ontario, but it hardly drops below -15. The irony of course being that it goes back up to peaking in the early 30's during the summertime. British Columbia though is actually quite mild. It hardly drops below the freezing point, and snow at the low-level is a relative rarity. Their summers are also milder. Don't move to Edmonton though, because those -50 winters will free the fingers right off ya, but it's much farther north anyways.
I didn't say that. It's moronic to leave a country just because of who is currently in charge. I didn't leave the US just because Clinton got to be president. If you don't like the way things are, work to improve and change them, don't just give up.
Thank you! YESH! STAY and make a difference at home!
Tho it's kinda funny when you think about it, the US is made up of native americans, descendants of slaves, and immigrants of all kinds (mostly from Europe).
The majority of people living in US today are descendants of or are immigrants themselves. With the exception of the native americans or the slaves & prisoners who didn't have a choice, why didn't the other folks just stay in their own countries and try to make a difference to improve their lives at home? Could they have?
Or were they just moronic for leaving? O_O
The Pilgrims left for religious freedom and cuz they couldn't stand their government back home. Shall we call them morons for leaving? You would think so considering back then they barely survived the new environment. But if you ask someone on the street in America, it's doubtful they'll tell you that the pilgrims were stupid for leaving their home country. :)
So to end this, I don't think its moronic to leave a country for improved well-being and freedom,

Nicely put DCC!
For anyone who cares, yes I'm an American and it's not moronic to have a different opinion from the president.
