I know Tim, and unless I miss my guess, if you boycott everyone who is a Kerry supporter, you will be missing about 49% of the available goods on the market. What does it matter waiting till after the election, is Tim going to give all of his money to Kerry to suddenly change the election results? I can use the tool no matter who wins, and he isn't making much on these.
Leatherman's opposition is polite and seems to be based on environmental issues. As an American, I can tolerate reasonable dissent, particularly when the maker is producing the best tool available.
On most boards, it is considered bad manners to jump in and piss all over someone's else's good deal being offered. Think about it.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
