Liberals and conservatives have always been polarized, it's the center
that hasn't been. In my mind, what makes this election different,
especially if Dean is the Democratic candidate, the center will have to
make a decision, go left or go right. Neither of these candidates are
moderates. Bush is very conservative, and Dean is very liberal.


You still seem to have a problem differentiating a difference in
political ideology with "hate". I have seen nothing that could be
construed as "hate". Just because conservatives do not hold the same value
sets as liberals does not mean that they "hate" anyone. That you would
categorize as such speaks volumes about your bias.

I know too many conservatives to think that hate is a conservative value,
but I will say this, most of the hateful, racist people I know, call
themselves "conservative".
