Unpopular with the people who voted for President in 2008.
We lost mostly because of the Iraq War - the Iraq War was the #1 reason. Huge numbers of people made the decision not to vote for the Republican last time around back in 2007 - people who did vote for George Bush in 2004.

I’m talking only about the Iraq War being unpopular. It was and we lost because of it. I have no opinion on how dangerous terrorism is, or whether the war was effective in curtailing terrorism. I’m just pointing out that the Iraq War means we lost and we got Obama.

I think it was the economy as to why Bush lost.

QWe are able to pull out of Iraq because the serge was a success along with other tactics.
OF the Military people I speak with both active and ret.
two I speak with often, a ret. Marine Major and Navy Capt. SEAL.

There are over 35,000 Iraqis in San Diego, most are Chaldeal Christians.
Their stories of torture and escape from Sadam should be heard by the supporters of IsloamOfascists in this country
including the PaulBots.
