I think you believe Rove and Cheney actually care about an ideological revolution. I don't think they do. There is no "hate" - there is just methodical manipulation of voters to roll back New Deal policies to make a climate favorable to people who sign huge checks for people like Rove and Cheney.
"Hate" is an allegation the Left uses far too much in describiong politicians. Its wrong because it ascribes to those people a level of human feeling they don't have. Its business. Dems, Inc. v. GOP, Inc.

Generally, yes.
But it is a funny kind of business because you measure your success not by money, but by power, and so they are all power mad. Which leads all politicians to play to any old hatemonger who will give them power.
