4. bush didn't mis-speak - YOU MIS-LISTENED
Tony Snow on 'Stay the Course' Correction
By E&P Staff | October 23, 2006
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003287010

Q: Is the President responsible for the fact people think it's stay the course since he's, in fact, described it that way himself?

MR. SNOW: No.



it's your fault for MIS-LISTENING:

5. Democrats even have flip flopping ears!
They just think the pResident said stay the course. Actually he was bemoaning the crudity of popular culture and said we must "Slay the Coarse". He has has also been quoted on National ASPCA Day as stating "We must Spay, of Course!" Stupid Democrats!

15. Well,
I have a very liberal friend who points out that * said "I've never been about 'stay the course,'" so given that phrasing he wasn't lying.

I pointed out (drawing on my college English teaching days) that when you say something, that IS what you're about.

Non-sequitur time: Goddamn, I hate Republicans. Liars all...

Spreading Democracy? When did I ever say we were invading Iraq to spread Democracy?
You Liberals just have crazy imaginations!

17. here's a list
BUSH: We will stay the course, we will help this young Iraqi democracy succeed, and victory in Iraq will be a major ideological triumph in the struggle of the 21st century. <8/30/06>

BUSH: Stay the course also means don’t leave before the job is done. And that’s - we’re going to get the job done in Iraq. <8/11/06>

BUSH: As a matter of fact, we will win in Iraq so long as we stay the course. <7/11/06>

BUSH: And I saw people wondering whether the United States would have the nerve to stay the course and help them succeed. <6/19/06>

BUSH: If we don’t lose our nerve, if we stay the course, someday down the road, an American President will be working with democratically-elected leaders in the broader Middle East at the table to keep the peace. <3/24/06>

BUSH: Some critics continue to assert that we have no plan in Iraq except to, “stay the course.” If by “stay the course,” they mean we will not allow the terrorists to break our will, they are right. If by “stay the course,” they mean we will not permit al Qaeda to turn Iraq into what Afghanistan was under the Taliban - a safe haven for terrorism and a launching pad for attacks on America - they are right, as well. If by “stay the course” they mean that we’re not learning from our experiences, or adjusting our tactics to meet the challenges on the ground, then they’re flat wrong. <11/30/05>

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

BUSH: And so the United States of America will stay the course and we will complete the task. We’ll help Iraq develop a democracy and the world will be better off for it. <11/21/04>

BUSH: My message is that - is that we will stay the course and stand with these people so that they become free. <9/23/04>

BUSH: We will stay the course so that they can develop an army and police force of their own so they can defend themselves. <9/13/04>

BUSH: We must stay the course until the job is done. <8/13/04>

BUSH: But Americans are used to hard work when it comes to a cause greater than ourself. And that’s what we’re doing. And we’ll stay the course. <4/20/04>

BUSH: And that’s why we’re going to stay the course in Iraq. <4/16/04>

BUSH: And we will stay the course in Iraq so that his son did not die in vain. <4/15/04>

BUSH: And my message today to those in Iraq is: We’ll stay the course; we’ll complete the job. <4/13/04>

BUSH: We will stay the course in Iraq. <4/6/04>

BUSH: So we’ve got tough action in Iraq. But we will stay the course. <4/5/04>

BUSH: You know, I told the family how much we appreciated his sacrifice - he was killed in Iraq - and assured him that we would stay the course. <4/5/04>

BUSH: I met with the family of a fellow who - who was killed in Iraq. … I told the - I told the dad, and the mom, and the wife that we’d stay the course. <4/5/04>

BUSH: This country will stay the course and get the job done. <4/2/04>

BUSH: We will stay the course until the job is done, because a free Iraq in the heart of the Middle East will make the world more peaceful. <1/23/04>

BUSH: And we will stay the course until the job is done. <1/12/04>

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: I was able to assure them that we were going to stay the course and get the job done, but I also reminded them what I said publicly, that it’s up to them to seize the moment, to have a government that recognizes all rights, the rights of the majority and the rights of the minority, to speak to the aspirations and hopes of the Iraqi people. <11/27/03>

BUSH: We will stay the course, and as more and more Iraqis realize freedom is precious and freedom is a beautiful way of life, they will assume more and more responsibilities, not only for security, but for humanitarian reasons, as well. <11/14/03>

BUSH: It’s in the national interest of the United States that a peaceful Iraq emerge. And we will stay the course in order to achieve this objective. <10/27/03>

BUSH: And we’ll just stay the course. <10/22/03>

BUSH: We talked about Iraq. And I told him and assured him that the United States would stay the course because we believe freedom is on its way to the Iraqi people. <7/14/03>

BUSH: We’re making steady progress. A free Iraq will mean a peaceful world. And it’s very important for us to stay the course, and we will stay the course. <7/10/03>

BUSH: Not only does the war on terror go on, but we’ve got a lot of work to do in Iraq. And we’re going to stay the course until the job gets done. <6/5/03>

It takes two to lie. One to lie, one to listen.
