The reason for my opposition to the current President is simple. The president is socially conservative and his spending indicates that he is economivcally quite liberal, as some have said, he's "spending like a Democrat." I am socially very liberal and economically moderately conservative (just a bit to the right of center,) which leaves me in a position where I am quite obviously and idealogical opposite. I don't feel that Bush represents me as a person.
I suppose I could be considered a "Bush hater." I feel that his assault on the separation of church and state is completely unacceptable, and I consider his support of legislation like the PATRIOT Act to be, at best, unethcial and un-American. The problems I see with the president (I only mentioned two major ones) have affected me enough that I actively campaign against him.
