I don't hate Rhee In-jae. I was simply pointing out that the man just won't die (politically speaking). Really; only the devil could be as widely hated as he is (I don't think there is a party that will take him now) and still get elected. Also, only the devil could arrange to have the other candidates so even split that he could get in with only 28% of the vote. And yes, there is some passionate hatred in American politics. Many Republicans hate the Clintons with a passion. Likewise, there is such a hatred of Bush by some folks that it has its own listed disorder: http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=6A2ED953-7F19-4A6D-B095-CF59269B817B There are many other politicians, great and small, in the States who are also hated deeply. wjk,

He is not the devil, and he actually to my understanding votes pretty much for the welfare of his area of representation. He is in fact, a non-corrupt, good politician with abilities to serve as President of a nation. Tell me honestly, in America, would you hate Ross Perot or Ralph Nader with such a passion? Hell, no. You're hallucinating if you think Kyongsang-Jeolla war has nothing to do with politics in Korea. Actually, it has 51%+ to do with it. And, that's an underestimation. Daegu showed it with the Pro-Park people, who labeled themselves very purposefully so. Jeolla showing its usual support of the whatever-is-not of the Southeast ticket. In America, would you ever hear of a Pro-Bush candidate who wasn't even in the Republican ticket? Hells, no. Did that criminal son of Kim Dae Jung not run or something? If he didn't, that's great news for mankind. Even for non-Koreans. The People of Seoul and Choong Chung have always been the real practitioners of democracy in South Korea. They said, hells no to high taxes and liberalism, and pro-North Korean foreign policy projects. Kyongsang and Jeolla just played out their regionalism games for the 50th consecutive election or whatever the hell it is. These 2 drag down progress in South Korea.
