Wow, did I even say I was against the war? You really need to work on your reading comprehension.
The number 1 thing that George Bush did that made the most people dislike him was the Iraq War.
I could tell you that I feel bad about that. But it doesn’t matter what my feelings are. It’s a fact that people did not like the Iraq War. By November 2006, Bush and the Iraq War were very unpopular. Republicans lost seats in the House and Senate. In November 2008, Bush was still unpopular, the Iraq War was still unpopular, and Obama won.
I am not arguing that the economy was not a factor. But the Iraq War did not help the Republicans in 2008, and they did a lot of losing in 2008.
In Height Ashbury in 1969, you’d probably find people that would tell you that the war was bad. I’m not telling you the war was bad. I’m pointing out the simple fact that the Iraq War was unpopular, and it caused a lot of Republicans to lose their jobs.
I would recommend that Republicans think twice about embracing unpopular war policies if they want to keep their jobs. Time and time again, for Republicans at least, war means losing your job.
No thought regarding whether they are necessary to our national security, or the right thing to do, but only whether or not they are "popular."
It's faulty reasoning, and I don't accept it.
If it means saving American lives, then the popularity of a war is completely irrelevant.
Besides which, I make the point again. The war in Iraq did not lead to Obama's election. The lies of the press, money from overseas, white guilt, election fraud, and a host of other things did.
You do the right thing, truthfreedom. You do the right thing, not the "popular" thing.
