After the Obamaslide a GOP friend complained about the electoral college system, saying, “Romney won nearly half the states and still lose the election.”

“Obama won 26 states and Mitt only had 24. That’s less than half and he lost the popular vote too. The math adds up the same way. My guy got more votes than your guy.”

“Not via the electoral college. Obama won the most populous states with the excpetion of Texas.” Mitt’s constituency was the Deep South and square states in the West with the least population density in the nation.

“Well, it’s wrong.”

“You didn’t feel that way in 2000.” Even with Florida stolen from the Gore camp, the VP had more popular votes than his opponent, the ill-fated GW Bush. “So suck it up and act like an American for once. E pluribus unum.”

“Out of one many.” My Republican friend was better educated than most voters.

Former GOP vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan agreed with my friend in a recent interview, “President Barack Obama got turnout. The president should get credit for achieving record-breaking turnout numbers from urban areas for the most part, and that did win the election for him, but it was close.”

It wasn’t close and I propose a Pax Obama to heal the chasm created by the right-wing pundits fearmongering race war to their aging audience, however hundreds of thousands of these listeners have mailed requests for their states to secede from the Union.

Over 100,000 letters have deluged the Texas State Capitol in Austin.

Troughout my adult life I have fled the USA whenever the GOP have been in power.

Europe in the 80s.

Asia in the 90s.

Thailand during the GW Bush years.

So to those dissenters I say, “If you don’t love this America, leave it.”

Not that they could survive in Mexico or socialist Canada.
