I profoundly disapprove of personal attacks like this.  And what *evidence*
is there that it is "hard for [Yoshie] to believe that large numbers of
people could be passionately devoted to a cause you don't approve"?

If you think that, you're really out of touch. Do you know how many
millions of people - billions if you include the world outside the
U.S. - hate GWB with a deep passion and want to see him lose on Nov
2? I realize it's hard for you to believe that large numbers of
people could be passionately devoted to a cause you don't approve of,
but that's the world we live in.
