Bush: ‘We’ve Never Been Stay The Course’ (1 Viewer)

[shuamort]

This is quite awesome in a very sad way. Coming from a candidate who hounded Kerry for being a flip-flopper:

STEPHANOPOULOS: James Baker says that he’s looking for something between “cut and run” and “stay the course.”

BUSH: Well, hey, listen, we’ve never been “stay the course,” George. We have been — we will complete the mission, we will do our job, and help achieve the goal, but we’re constantly adjusting to tactics. Constantly.


Bush is wrong:

BUSH: We will stay the course. [8/30/06]

BUSH: We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq. [8/4/05]

BUSH: We will stay the course until the job is done, Steve. And the temptation is to try to get the President or somebody to put a timetable on the definition of getting the job done. We’re just going to stay the course. [12/15/03]

BUSH: And my message today to those in Iraq is: We’ll stay the course. [4/13/04]

BUSH: And that’s why we’re going to stay the course in Iraq. And that’s why when we say something in Iraq, we’re going to do it. [4/16/04]

BUSH: And so we’ve got tough action in Iraq. But we will stay the course. [4/5/04]

Umm, that's nice. Any other issues Bush wants to claim he never said and change his mind about?

East Asia is our ally. We are at war with Eurasia, and have always been at war with Eurasia. :mrgreen:

It will be interesting to see if Bush bows to political pressure and withdraws from Iraq. I have been predicting he would never do that; it would show the Iraq fiasco for what it is and be proven to have been the worst US foreign policy act since the Bay of Pigs, if not ever. I think Bush and his supporters are too arrogant to ever admit a mistake, and would "stay the course" meaning he'd pass the buck of his fiasco to the next president to deal with.

Things have been deterioriting in Iraq much faster than expected. Maybe Bush will bite the bullet for the good of his party and withdraw the troops for political expediency. My bet is still that he stays the course, though.

Cut and run should be the new official GOP motto. The Runblitcans, run like blitzkreig as fast as you can from your old statments.
We did not know Jack Abramoff - turns out you knew him and knew him well - secretary for Rove.
We're not warrentlessly listening in on domestic citizens - turns out you are
We will be greeted as liberators - right
we know exactly where the WMD's are...
the al qaeda connection with saddam
Stay the course stay the course stay the course and now - "Well, hey, listen, we’ve never been “stay the course,” George. We have been — we will complete the mission, we will do our job, and help achieve the goal, but we’re constantly adjusting to tactics. Constantly."

bla bla bla bla bla, lie after lie after lie - Bush has long reached and now surpassed Clinton in the lieing contest - and still going.

How about: We'll get Osama dead or alive -- to -- he's just not that much of a priority.

Or: Our tax cuts will not cut deficits -- to -- we'll cut the biggest deficit of all time in half.

The list goes on and on.

"it really doesn't matter to me where he (OBL) is" Bush Feb. 2002.

It's amazing how the Bush apologists never seem to find these threads. Yet they rant and rave in every other thread.

 

[shuamort]

Or how about:

On February 15, 2000, Bush said about gay marriage, "The state can do what they want to." Also, on April 21, 2000 he said, "It's the right of the state to make that decision" on gay marriage, and on May 5, 2000 he said gay marriage is "going to be up for cities and states to make those decisions."

and then rebuffed his own position:

"Decisive and democratic action is needed because attempts to redefine marriage in a single state or city could have serious consequences throughout the country,'' the president said.

Or how about when he was against Condi testifying for the 9/11 Commission and then ordered her to do it?

Then flip-flopped while he was for Free trade and then for steel tarriffs.

Oh they do, they'll be here soon enough, and spin in attempt to derail the thread.

Bush is of the mindset that if you keep saying it over and over again, it will stick. He's hoping that as long as he keeps saying that the administration was never about "stay the course," people will start to believe it. Here are past examples, where it has worked on some people:

Saddam has weapons of mass destruction.

The war in Iraq is part of the war on terror.

The "commitment" of $5 billion dollars to fight poverty during his 2000 campaign and through today not a single penny.

You're wrong Aps:2wave:

Aq is in Iraq, AQ is in Iraq, Aq is in Iraq, AQ is in Iraq,Aq is in Iraq, AQ is in Iraq, Aq is in Iraq, AQ is in Iraq,Aq is in Iraq, AQ is in Iraq, Aq is in Iraq, AQ is in Iraq,Aq is in Iraq, AQ is in Iraq, Aq is in Iraq, AQ is in Iraq,Aq is in Iraq, AQ is in Iraq, Aq is in Iraq, AQ is in Iraq,Aq is in Iraq, AQ is in Iraq, Aq is in Iraq, AQ is in Iraq.

Good job Mr. Bush, Aq is now indeed in Iraq - just a small detail though they weren't there before you unilaterally invaded and destablized that region to allow Aq to be in Iraq.

Hmmm, I've just finished reading Animal Farm to my daughter. She picked right up on the tactics that the pigs and Bush share. :rofl

The attempt to convince the poor stupid animals....er, people....that things were not how they remember them continues. :doh

Right from the Herman Goering playbook.

Hey! come on folks, let us be fair to our Idiotic President.

Perhaps he merely 'misspoke', perhaps he should get the State Department to explain that to him.

Well to the rest of us here's a quaint video

 

[akyron]

Reading the rhetoric on this thread one movie quote jumps out to me.


Dog Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's just gibberish. Gibberish of an insane person. "

 

[shuamort]

I agree, Bush IS insane.

I'll add my two cents to this hate thread. The video made me laugh. At the end it says "On November 7, vote for a new course."

Would someone tell me which ballot has George Bush's name on it?

If the democrats take majority, they could conceivably impeach Bush and take him down. That'd be the start of a new course.

Shall we hold our breath? :lol:

im just waiting for people to come in here and start digging up dirt on the democrats/liberals as if that somehow makes everything ok.

I'm mixed on this one. On one hand there needs to be accountability for the royal mess Bush got us into. But on the other, I'm thinking that it would be best for the country if Washington just chilled already. This extreme polarity is good for nobody, and the best sign Democrats could send is if they placed themselves above any further partisan rivalry. I would be content that they just refused to give him the legislation he wants and make him a lame duck president. But this partisan all-out war has got to end.
