Hate is America's primary emotion. This is a dysfunctional society and the people hate each other. So, enjoy yourselves!

That's fine..if you don't hate but merely disagree (although I am curious about what specifically you disagree with actions and statements) then at least it is common ground for people working together..but I do believe that there are liberals who hate Republicans and I want to see if they can explain why...

You left out the Constitution.

And to answer the question, even though I'm an independent myself. I prefer disliking anyone form any political persuasion who bases their entire philosophy on prejudice and misinformation.

Guess that's pretty universal then.

Facts should be sacred. Unfortunately in the political arena they just aren't. It's a travesty.

One can not be humanitarian by dictation, theft, or by enslavement.

I dislike the Republican party at the federal level because they spend like the Democrats do but blow it on things that don't have any real return. Also the "socially conservative" stance regarding issues that have literally nothing to do with economics is a major turn off, but it seems to be fading away slowly.

Also the fact that the Republicans "cut spending" is laughable when used in arguments, so I guess I'm not a big fan of ignorance, whether intentional or unintentional, either.

as i'm sure there are Republicans that hate democrats. Either way, hate is a strong and ignorant emotion that waste too much time and energy.

I don't hate Republicans. I dislike summer patriots like Ted Nugent who dodge the draft and then question other people's patriotism. I have a lot of good friends who are rational conservatives.
