A number of us have written some pretty strong arguments for why we hold our position.
I haven't seen anyone in this thread say that he or she holds his or her position because of some personal animosity toward George Bush.
Responses like the one you posted above encourage vociferous personal attacks, attacks I've resigned myself not to make. Yet, you resorted to what I interpret to amount to a personal attack on my position--as if it were groundless and irrational.
I take exception to that. I wish you wouldn't drag the discussion down in this way. It was looking like we could have outlined some heavy thought.
