I need some help please. I consider myself a moderate in most political things. However, this election has rocked my world. Although I was not a strong Romney fan, I do not support the current Administration and I was distressed by the negative campaign they ran. Look, I get it..they won, those who were closer to my side lost.

I have several VERY close friends who were huge advocates for this administration. They are gloating like crazy. They are downright nasty about it. I get it, their guy won. however, I feel as if it has taken a toll on our friendship in some cases. The nastiness is almost unbelievable.

I need to write to a few of them to ask them to please, stop sending me the "happy emails" and the nasty joke pages. I do not particularly want to offend them, I just want to stop this. In every election result, some are happy and some are not. However, this time...at least in my experience....the "winners" are being incredibly mean spirited.

Can any of you please me with an email I need to send to some? I do not want to be mean...just to let them know that I disagree and their gloating is pretty upsetting to me. I want them to respect the differences in our opinions. Thanks.

One question: did you send them some Obama bashing emails before the election that would provoke them to retaliate?

Just let it go and in a month or less they will tire of gloating and sending emails. Wouldn't you if the tables were turned?

I wouldn't waste my time if I were you. Just ignore them and wait. Ya know the saying, when you give someone enough rope, they hang themselves.

The left is going to be outraged as they realize their elect will not be able to keep his promises. Entitlement programs will be cut, as they have to be, but the left will not be happy because they believe Obama is just going to take from the mean nasty wealthy to gather more money. Reality will hit them hard in the face with time and then YOU can be the bigger person and not gloat about it like they have done.

It scares me the mass number of lefties living in la la land.

Do you mean we have to put up with that stuff another 3 weeks? I guess I can stand it but hope that many who seem to think they are so happy won't be as disappointed as I think they will be.
