There are two reasons why the President has been reluctant to tell us everything about his decision to invade Iraq. One reason might be said to embarrass or hurt him personally, in some way. The other reason might be said to hurt this nation's interests in some way.
You and the media have just ASSUMED that the only reason just has to be because he was acting in some ignoble manner and against the interests of the American people.
Why can't he have been acting wisely and decisively to minimize death and destruction and promote the greater interests of peace and stability?
He could have been doing just that. But you are so brainwashed that you can't even IMAGINE there being any other reason than the one you have been sold and now have made your own.
You are a tool of those who hate America.

Obviously that couldn't be because Bush IS screwing up.
The fact that REPEATED polls put his popularity in the toilet are meaningless.

When a prison convict is exonerated with DNA evidence years after his trial what would you say then? I mean, in a poll of the 12 jurors, (a popularity poll in a certain way) the convicted man's 'ratings' were in the toilet.
But all those 12 pollsters were wrong.
You would just throw the innocent man back in prison, I guess.

For you to talk about the "popularity of presidential candidate Barack Obama" like it's nonsense just epitomizes how out of touch you are with reality.
The $$$$ he is taking in with donations?
How well he is doing against Hillary?
PROOF that he is a popular contender.

The obviousness of it is lost on you. Paul's popularity is based on the MEDIA'S reluctance to imagine or promote any good reasons for the president 's decision to invade. In a way it is no one's "fault" really. The President would not do anything that would help himself but hurt America. So, he has had to stay silent and just accept the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, while folks like you mindlessly attack him out of fashion and passion to attack.
If it weren't for the media's attacks on the President neither Paul not Obama would be NEARLY as popular as they are or were or will become, because the American people would look at someone who was against the war from the beginning as being WRONG from the beginning. And anyone who looked at 9/11 as OUR FAULT and who would allow Iran to annex Iraq by immediately pulling our forces out of Iraq would be laughed at by even the looniest of Paul's current bearers.
It is only because the media has taken an active role in harping on the TAIL side of the coin regarding the rationale for invasion that either one of these guys has gotten past square one in the presidential sweepstakes.
