    1. He's a liar. He has lied about his military service, he has lied about his excuses for getting us into war, he has lied about his staffing decisions (he admitted he lied in a press conference before the most recent election about whether Donald Rumsfeld was being forced out or not, JUST because he didn't want Republicans to look bad before the election.) He lied last night in the State of the Union address!! (When he said that there was widespread agreement with his military advisers about going to war in Iraq; it's been proven over and over again in sworn testimony before Congress that his military advisers were telling him exactly the opposite).

    2. He's a religious tyrant, and has broken his oath to uphold the Constitution by constantly attempting to use the State to boost the Church -- by using our tax dollars, taken from us by force of law, to support church activities for churches who can't get the money by simple persuasion from their own members. He strongly favors certain religious beliefs over others, and uses his office to enforce that favoritism.

    3. He's a deserter from the armed forces who was never punished for it. First, he dodged the Vietnam Draft by getting his father's powerful friends to let him jump the line into the Texas National Guard and then got very, very expensive pilot training even though other people were more qualified. And THEN he stopped showing up even for that!

    4. He's a hypocrite. He signed a "tough on underage drinking law" while governor of Texas, and when his OWN daughters got caught, he arranged to have the charges changed so that they would not have to do time -- the way the daughters of peasant families do.

    http://www.commondreams.org/views01/0823-08.htm

    5. He is a hypocrite, part 2: He pretends to be "pro-life" but laughs and giggles (I am not kidding, see his behavior around the Karla Faye Tucker execution) about ritual murder when it was performed by the State of Texas on his orders as governor (he could suspend or commute death warrants, but he wouldn't).

    6. He wasn't elected president in 2000. Even all the cheating (including police blockades in front of polling places where black voters lived) down in Florida wouldn't have gotten him elected if Sandra Day O'Connor hadn't changed her entire history on the Supreme Court to appoint him to the presidency, as a later count by a coalition of television and print news organizations proved. He admits he lost in the popular vote; and it has been proven that he only "won" the electoral college vote through corruption at the Supreme Court and throughout Florida.

    7. He wasn't elected president in 2004, either. Voter fraud in Ohio gave him that state's electoral votes, and that's what let him stay in the White House. But he was NOT elected in Ohio; he got those votes only through fraud. See
    http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/10432334/was_the_2004_election_stolen
    http://www.freepress.org/columns/display/3/2004/983

    8. He promised to root out whoever revealed the name of a covert CIA operative during time of war, and when it was revealed that DICK CHENEY was the one who outed her, he chose to do nothing to him. And he won't tell us how many people have died for this breach of security -- how many of her contacts in other nations, previously safe because she wasn't known to be a spy, have been killed or imprisoned or what in their own nations.

    9. He has violated his oath of office over and over and over again, violating the Constitution by his secret warrantless wiretaps, by the illegal prisons in Guantanamo Bay, where men have been held FIVE YEARS not only without trial, but without even being charged!, by violating treaties we have signed regarding the use of torture, by illegally suspended the Great Writ (habeas corpus, the centerpiece of our legal system)... oh, I get tired of recounting his impeachable offenses, I really do.

    10. He totally screwed up the Katrina Hurricane because he'd been cutting back emergency funds for use within the U.S. (which is why the levees weren't repaired) and then by ABANDONING the area for weeks -- when only a few weeks before, he urged the whole Congress to come in on a Sunday to screw around with ONE brain-dead white woman, he couldn't make even a half-hearted show of effort for the tens of thousands of New Orleans black families being left to drown and starve in the first weeks after Katrina, and a year later, STILL hasn't got the federal act together to make serious progress there.

    I could go on, but it makes me sick to think about it. You asked for reasons, there's ten. And that's without counting how he's messed up in Iraq, Afghanistan, and just started a small war in Somalia the past month!
    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/24/AR2007012400681.html
    And the way he is ignoring the serious nuclear threat from North Korea, because he's working on expanding his Oil War from Afghanistan, Somalia, and Iraq into Iran:

    The nation debt went from a surplus to 6.5 TRILLION dollars.

    He lied.

    He looks like a monkey.

    He is either really stupid or acts like someone really stupid (the latter is worse).

    The list goes on and on.

    Iraq is bad enough, but consider this:

    I live in an America I don’t dare leave for fear of being spat upon, shot, bombed or kidnaped. I am looked upon as a citizen of a rogue nation that has no concept or respect for any law except bullying and strength. I need a passport even to visit Canada, which was to be our sister nation with open borders forever. I must expect to be required to show my papers at any time, to any official. I must accept that the government can break into my house and rifle my belongings and papers any time it wishes on the thinnest of excuses and it is not even required to let me know it has violated my home and my privacy. I must accept the fact that the government can listen in to my private conversations, my phone, my e-mail, can read my snail mail if they wish and can put a gag order on anyone who has information on me so I may not even be made aware that I am being spied upon.

    I think those are pretty good reasons to not agree with the current administration, or to dislike it.

    If people get to really answering you honestly on this one, everyone on the other side will down rate them.

    Some are pretty adamant about their political opinions.

    Sorry.

    Oh yes!

    1.) He's a compulsive liar.
    2.) He's fiscally irresponsible.
    3.) He's grammatically atrocious.
    4.) He's a religious bigot who disregards the Constitution (the very one he vowed to uphold) on both establishment of religion and freedom of religion.
    5.) His stance on women's issues and reproduction.
    6.) His stance on minority rights and issues (ethnic, sexual orientation, religious).
    7.) His stance on science.
    8.) His disregard for our economy and the poor.
    9.) His utter disregard for our environment.
    10.) His disregard/inaction of the situation in the Sudan.
    11.) His handling of the Middle East peace process.
    12.) Let's just say the rest of his foreign policy (handling of international relationships, treaties, and our relationship with the UN).
    13.) His ABYSMAL record on education. He created a program he failed to fund.
    14.) His ATROCIOUS grasp of known history. It is a good thing that he is proud of his C average - he certainly earned it.
    15.) The Patriot Act, etc. He has eroded the very rights and liberties that this country was founded upon in the name of fighting terrorists. When we, as a people, compromise on the values we hold dear, we've conceded at least one battle (perhaps the war) to those who attack those values.
