I think hate is the last thing we need in politics. Its a roadblock. It pissed me off when conservatives did it, and it pisses me off now to hear it from the other side of the aisle. When you bring such a strong emotion to politics, it becomes a hurdle to any sort of compromise. Of course if you "hate" him, you can always blame him for your "hate". Its a vicious destructive emotion that needs to be curbed. It leads to blind frustration and partisanship that hurts us all and stands in the way of getting anything done.
