If I believe George Bush is evil, why shouldn't I hate him?
George W’s elite base includes the wealthy and the powerful. They are the hidden people he really represents, those economically “elite,” special interest bosses he described so accurately in a speech at one of his private, campaign fund raising dinners: “You’re my base: the haves and the have mores.” They must have been some of the people he was referring to at a 2002 meeting with his economic squad about a second round of tax cuts: “Haven’t we already given money to rich people?”
One of the symptoms of fanaticism is the belief that one’s mission has been “blessed or even commanded by God,” says Dr. Norman Doidge, professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto. George W. Bush, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, told Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas, “God told me to strike at Al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East.” For most psychologists, Bush’s “God made me do it” sounds a lot like schizophrenia, a malady defined as “a group of psychotic disorders usually characterized by withdrawal from reality, illogical patterns of thinking, delusions, and hallucinations.” In every sense of the word, destructive, group-based beliefs are the real weapons of mass destruction that we all need to be very worried about.
When someone shines a spotlight into a group’s dark side it arouses, almost without fail, righteous indignation along with virulent, “kill-the-messenger” attacks. That is also why it is so utterly frustrating to have any meaningful, rational discussion or collaboration with such people; you can never quite reach the real person. Instead you are stonewalled; you keep getting programmed, predictable, group-speak responses and jargon designed to abort any real scrutiny of the group’s always secretive dark side.
EDIT: I do not support hillary,Obama, nor Kerry.

A very simple response to your question for me is this - hate is a waste of time and energy that could be placed into some other realm of positive thinking and future possibilities of greatness and reward. For most of us, we sit back and watch and calculate and think and depose these folks who have actually gone to the wall and offered their services to our country. Whatever skewed political thinking they may have, their vision to be a part of some kind of solution has been greater than those who hawk and continue to be part of the problem. I never wanted to be a president! I was never 'that' into politics and government as I am now however, as an adult and with a different view of the world and all that is going on in it, I do take more of an active role in what I can do to support the democracy in which I live. I teach my students about it. I engage them in healthy conversations so that they can learn what their own minds might envision about the world they will soon be contributing to, and I offer them suggestions and directions as to how they can be an influence in a positive way. What I don't teach or preach is hate. George Bush has his own issues that he has to face one of these days. He has been blinded for years, I believe, by some misguided directions from his own family. Now he is full of himself and somehow I think, feels he is above reproach. The law of nature and the law of spirit will eventually decide upon his fate. We, who love our country and are devoted to want to help make things right within it, will be served. We just need to keep doing what is right and honest, positive and true. Pray for this man, for his staff, for our country and others, pray for the peace of the land and keep moving in the positive - showing love to all people. That's my responsibility. My feeling is this - get in the ring and help deliver the punches, or stay outside and sell the popcorn - but don't throw the popcorn in the ring.

You can believe anything you want to.....but, that
does not make it so. George Bush is not evil at
all. He's only trying to keep terrorists from our
front door, but libs apparently don't really care.
Only when we are attacked again, will the libs
shake in their boots and if a Democrat is then
President, they should as they have no plan of
what to do if that happens. They surely wouldn't
decide to fight the enemy, as they've fought off
doing that ever since 911.. What the heck would they do?
I'm afraid when everyone wakes up some day in the
future, it will be too late. We'll have done been had
and you won't have Bush to fight your battle for you.

You have the right to dislike anyone you please.
Fact is, most of the people who 'support' him are actually scared of him.
btw - an answerer posts:
"elect hillary and let another clinton make a joke out of the whitehouse".
Guess he never heard what the Saudi Prince said about the White House after his visit to George.
He said the white house reminded him of what used to be called "an outhouse"
Talk about "making a joke out of the White House!"
humm
he might be right.
Lots of s---t going on in there.

Those of you that despise him, give it an hour and then turn it off.

That fits him to a tee. Wow that is what it is all about. The boy is off his rocker.
What does that say for the Republican party. First they have paranoid Tricky Dick Nixon and now they got Skitzo Georgie Bush.

Hate takes too much effort! It is also bad for the spirit. You can dislike him all you want...

I don't believe Bush is evil, but he is a VERY BAD PRESIDENT.
We should not hate him, but for goodness sake let's STOP SUPPORTING HIM!

Because hate is what they are after. Hate is not just the absence of good, it is the motivation for abbherent behavior.
Give him no emotion. He isn't worth hating. No one is.
