Actually, I thought the thread title left open the possibility of the existence of rational hatred. The question is, what causes IRrational hatred of George Bush. Taken that way, it would be worthy of exploration.
I have a rational dislike of George Bush. It is mostly founded on my feeling that his thinking and policies are unclear. I believe that there is no real, feasible plan for Iraq beyond "get through the next few months". I also think there is no real, feasible PLAN for Social Security beyond "make it more privatized". I don't think there is a real, feasible goal in our current foreign policy. For that matter, I don't think there is a clear goal for domestic policies. This seems to be an administration that is making policies based on reacting to stuff that happens.
I'd feel better if there was a clear goal that was being articulated or clear answers given when tough questions are asked. It seems like this administration is surrounded by some sort of all-pervading fuzz. It diffuses their answers, thinking, and policies. This is not the same thing as knee jerking and saying that our president is stupid, which I don't think he is.
