- edverb, on 10/12/2007, -5/+132It was never about WMD. We never said we knew where they were. Gosh, I just don't think I ever said I'm not worried about Osama bin Laden. It's kind of one of those ex-a-gger-ations. We've never been "stay the course".
Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia. - sych0, on 10/12/2007, -3/+105Flip-flopper
- adb22791, on 10/12/2007, -8/+91Right now he's probably thinking "Damn it, that's not what they told me to say". Bush is not the brains behind Iraq, he is a figurehead and pretty much his entire job is doing what his friends, like Cheney and Haliburton, want.
- joe573, on 10/12/2007, -3/+74The really sad part is that George Stephanopoulos let him get away with it. Im tired of nutless reporters not calling him on his BS. The ones that do get labled as nut-jobs or un-American. Its gonna be really funny to watch him squirm when the Dems take the House and Senate back.
- kremvax, on 10/12/2007, -1/+59Things like this kinda make me feel sorry for the remaining Bush-supporters out there.
I had an uncle who swore up-and-down that there MUST have been WMD's if the president, rumsfeld, cheney ,etc were all so sure. And that it would be treason not to support them.
And then he defended-to-the-nines the Bush administration's allegations that Al-Queada was backed by Saddam Hussein...
And for a while he was certain that the insurgency really was in it's last throes, and that Iraq was much much better off than the media was really saying...
And now... after they've made a fool of him a dozen times or more... he doesn't talk politics anymore.
Poor guy. - hardcoreUFO, on 10/12/2007, -4/+59How could there have been near-impeachment for Clinton for "I did not have sex with that woman", and nothing here? This is what happens when Republicans are allowed to control all 3 branches of government -- no oversight, no accountability.
- onestab, on 10/12/2007, -1/+52You said it man! I can't even believe the ***** that goes on with this administration anymore.
- CongoJoe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+53Un- friggin'-beleivable.
He's NOT delusional. He's a flat out liar. He has no idea what he's doing or what to do next.
The man is a disgrace to our country. - Micahyah, on 10/12/2007, -3/+49And people trust this treasonous liar with the power given to him under the Military Commissions Act of 2006? That is insanity!
- klasikahl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+47Wasn't "stay the course" their de facto campaign slogan for 2004?
- kremvax, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46On a completely unrelated note, I heard he had trouble at the Waffle House, because they won't let you in with flip-flops. So he cut and ran.
Did anyone else watch Tony Snow fail to define "strategy" to the point where he started banging his head on the podium rather than try to provide a rationalization of what the white house is actually thinking?
( Not that I don't think Bush has needed to re evaluate his "strategy" from, say, the moment he decided to lie to America about the WMD's and invade the only country that was NOT supporting Bin-Laden in the region... Just that it amuses me to see reality finally catch up sociopathic adamant phycho *****. ) - Eggzb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+43Doublethink:
The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. ... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies—all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth. - hawkeye17, on 10/12/2007, -2/+41Bush cannot open his mouth anymore without lying. Bush makes Clinton look like Superman.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+39Can we impeach and imprison this guy yet?
- locojones, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37"We ’ve never been stay the course, George!"
Funny, here's a copy of your Address to the Nation in April 2004 (http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2004/04/20040413-20.html), just one of the many examples where you're quoted as saying:
"And, yet, we must stay the course, because the end result is in our nation's interest."
The problem about being such a prolific liar, Mr President, is that to be effective, you actually have to keep track of all the lies you've told. - Pancake, on 10/12/2007, -2/+36Nov 7. Vote. Stop arguing with keystrokes and do it with paper. Make a difference.
- smokinjuan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+35I can't believe we're still sitting on our asses, but here we are.
- potlucktechn9ne, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33I was curious why Bill Kristol on Fox news actually said bush needs to "change the course" and i thought, wow, hasn't bush said like 1000 times "we need to stay the course". And now this.
- DougTanner, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34"War Is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is strength."?
Sorry for quoting the obvious Orwell quote, but it's Bush's own damn fault for being Orweillian... - Tenlow, on 10/12/2007, -6/+35what's un- friggin'-beleivable is that you still think it's "our" country.
- fyngyrz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+33Clinton suffered through the impeachment process because he didn't have the wit to say "Questions about my private life are unacceptable and completely off-limits. Next Question?" and lied instead. He could have fought the former battle; never the latter.
Bush doesn't get impeached because his party controls congress. End of story. - ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27Proper response from George Stephanopolous:
"I'm sorry sir, but the Daily Show is going to skewer you on Monday. In fact, we're going to edit in every single time you've said just that right...now." (points at the camera) - d3ik, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28And what plan have you heard from the Republicans? If anything, don't vote Democrat... vote "Not Republican".
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+28"Because I have yet to hear any sort of plan for anything from the Dems"
And please explain how the Democrats could do any worse? My dog would have been a better choice than Bush because the dog wouldn't do anything stupid.
So far the Republicans have produced:
- Record budget deficits
- Institutionalized corruption as a business process
- Iraq disaster
- Undermined the Constitution
- Spied on Americans
- Secret prisons
- Tax breaks for the wealthy
Yes, oh wise and all knowing, please explain how the Democrats could top all that? - stylerm, on 10/12/2007, -5/+30It is not really his fault. The way corporate media works, if he had made it difficult for bush he would be black-listed and never get a high ranking GOP interview again.
- Lamity, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24Please American's please ... line up and revolt against that insipid moron and his regime. Here in the UK they are now labelling your administration as the Fourth Reich? Did your grandfather's die for this? For the planet's sake do something!
- someguyouknow, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23I hate that smirk he has when he spurts out that lie "We've Never Been Stay The Course".
- martalli, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21New plan: Declare victory, pull out of Iraq, Pass law saying history books will refer to our victory in Iraq for the rest of George Bush's natural life.
- toddmoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20I agree that Step should have knocked that right out of the park, I mean there must be 500 clips of him saying "stay the course" of course the problem with all this is that stay the course is not a strategy, its just a slogan. There does not appear to be an actual strategy.
- ez12a, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24Someone set us up the WMD!
- Awperator, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21++ Digg for 1984 refence. Well played. QFT.
- echinatl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Sadly, I'm not surprised by this at all....
- MGinLV, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19Everyone who voted for him.....................................***** you
Everyone who didn't vote.........................................***** you
Every republican who defends him .........................***** you
Everyone who thinks this is acceptable behavior......***** you
Current administration...........................................Get ***** - dep01, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18I'm sure The Daily Show will have their own amusing take on this... I hope they put together a HUGE video montage that clips together all the times he has said "Stay the Course" and then follow it up with this video. That'll be gold.
- EntropyMan, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22"Clinton suffered through the impeachment process because he didn't have the wit to say "Questions about my private life are unacceptable and completely off-limits. Next Question?" and lied instead. He could have fought the former battle; never the latter."
You don't get to pick and choose what questions you answer in a court proceeding. Even the 5th doesn't always work, from what I understand of civil proceedings.
The fact that the court proceeding happened at all is a function of the GOP trying to topple a presidency they didn't like. If Bush was ever forced to testify under oath on anything he's said, he'd perjure himself in a nanosecond. However, I do believe he swore to uphold the constitution and as such, false statements made to the American people are at least as criminal as Clinton's perjury. - CongoJoe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19Oh please knock off the tired talking points.
You won't vote for the Democrats because they don't have a comprehensive plan for peace in the Middle East? Guess what? Nobody does. Those people have been at each others throats for centuries and it won't stop till they get tired of it. Nothing will change that.
No Democrat, no Republican will ever have the answers to that mess. But you can execute a foreign policy that doesn't aggravate or make the US even more a target to extremists over there.
Everything Bush has done (according to his own Intelligence agencies), has made a bad problem worse. You know but just won't admit it to yourself or out loud. - swoopdog, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17What an asshat this guy is. I am just sad this guy got 2 terms in the most prestigious position of any governmental authority our country offers. It really is a tribute to the power of propaganda in this country. All the 1984/Orwellian quotes in the replies above are right on.
- jer2eydevil88, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17If it was up to me I would bring back tarring and feathering just for him.
Although, Gitmo might prove useful for once. - fyngyrz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17Maybe. Or maybe Bush's partner in elections, Diebold, will see to it that the votes are miscounted (again), and we'll all get a nice republican majority (again) despite all indications to the contrary. Just like the exit polls in the 2004 elections. Kerry was the one people were voting for, and by a huge margin. Yet Bush received the votes, as if by magic. Exit polls had always worked before, certainly when they were as definitively one sided as they were in 2004. Then suddenly, Diebold is involved and the exit polls are not just wrong, but inverted. Gee. Whatever could *that* mean?
Don't think for a minute that a democratic victory is in the bag just because the voters want it that way. Voters haven't been steering this particular ship for quite some time. You watch the elections and see. - nexah3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16Which ones of your ***** voted for him again?
- dafrank112, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Nope, not with those new bills they've just passed...
- stylerm, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Dont waste your time. He is part of that minority that only hears what they want to hear, and think things are going great. Saying the dems don't have a plan is just regurgitating the 2006 midterm talking point put out by the GOP.
- ritec, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15This is our own fault... From the very beginning we should have stopped him. The first thing he did was steal the 2000 elections down in Florida. That whole episode was a complete fiasco and look where we are now. You let democracy slip once and it will continue to slip like that forever. You have to stand for yourself if you want to be respected, that's just how it goes.
Terrible...
http://www.toostupidtobepresident.com/shockwave/the_bush.htm - screwball, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14During the last election, there were plenty of anti-Kerry rhetorics being tossed out as well. Bush's long term strategy in Iraq was also fuzzy.
You can rationalize why you voted for Bush and Republican all you want, the fact is you bought in to the Republican rhetorics. You've been had. You've been con'ed. Unless you actually think Iraq is still going well, and Taliban's not coming back in Afghanistan.
I'm not saying the Democrat could've done better, but I do know for sure that we are in a terrible situation because of Bush's choices. You can't blame it on anything else. It's not the liberal media, it's not a Democrat conspiracy. The Republicans are in power in the house, congress, and the white house. The conservatives are considered to be in the majority on the Supreme Court. You can't blame the mess on anyone but the Republicans and Bush, and to a lesser extent, the voters who lend them the vote of confidence to get elected. - fantasticFlan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Not yet, hopefully soon, remember to vote.
- Spizzat2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I'm glad I'm not the first to point out that we could probably make a video like this for pretty much everything he's ever said. This isn't the first time he's flat-out contradicted himself.
- stylerm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I'll get right on that. How are the rose colored glasses?
- kremvax, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12So far, the Republican led congress has never EVER put Bush in a position where he's been forced to answer the "hard questions" under oath.
That could change in a couple of weeks. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+17Actually, Clinton was impeached.
- picodegallo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11It would be interesting to see a branch of government that isn't the executive say: "The burden of proof is on your shoulders, please prove your hypothesis".
