["Gilles d'Aymery" <aymery@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear David,

I so much agree with your take -- and thank you for including me time
and again with your research.

Now, you explain to me how your close friends and alles ended up
allying themselves with the Cruise Misslile Left; and ended up voting
for a man who was pro-war, against gay marriage (a civil rigts issue,
darn it), and in favor of nominating anti-choice justices to the Supreme
Court, among othet things...

Will they stand for X, and affirm X, and, in 2007/2008, go back to Y
and Z?

Something to think about, no?

Sincerely,
Gilles d'Aymery
