"There are people who just really, really hate this person."

I think this is true, and because of a few reasons. 1) Bush is openly Christian and some people just can't abide it, 2) Bush speaks of the War on Terror as a battle against evil, and that conflicts with the left, which is that there is no evil, only bad circumstances, and 3) Bush is not afraid to invade a country to protect us against Terror, and the elft simply hates the use of the military in wars for national interest.

One theme running through your enumerated reasons for their hatred is Bush's ability to actually act and lead.

This is so foreign to their handwringing M.O. that they have a xenophobic hatred of him.

"2) Bush speaks of the War on Terror as a battle against evil, and that conflicts with the left, which is that there is no evil, only bad circumstances..."

That's what I used to think also...but liberals do believe in evil. While they are willing to exhonerate and make excuses for all types of actions and behavior...believe me when I tell you, they think Bush is evil. There is no "gray area" when it comes to Bush or any other conservative.
