First of all, I interpret such a comment as being hyperbolic. It's like saying, "If I don't get home by six o'clock, my wife will kill me." Even if Dubya wins again, I'm sure Michael Moore will still be here, working toward change, just like the rest of us.
Secondly, what's wrong with moving out of the country? People do it all the time. If someone doesn't want to live under the rule of the Bush administration, how is leaving
treasonous? People come to this country every day because they were unhappy with the government in their homeland. It doesn't mean you don't love the country; it means you don't like the government. I know a lot of Cuban immigrants, and they are some of the most patriotic people you could ever meet. They
love Cuba. They just hate Castro.
