He's now officially stricken the 'stay the course' prose from the language used by he and his minions.  It was an official announcement by Tony Snow last week.\n\nI guess he finally started looking at reality.

He's determined.  This is his strength & weakness.\n\nIf he channeled his determination positively, towards fixing the problems that we have in this country, he would be one of the better Presidents in history (this coming from a Democrat.)\n\nHowever, the President has decided to channel his determination into "Staying the Course" and sticking through Iraq until there is a resolution (win, loss, new President; whatever it may be.)  This is his major downfall; if he would have pulled out of Iraq (today he said he is NOT), instead of being extremely determined, he'd have a much more powerful legacy.

the republican agenda has been denounced by the electorate and if they  stay with their (stay the course) policy thier era is not only over it will be dead...remember cheney said that no matter what the election results he said stay the course, HOW ARROGANT  his response is a slap in the face of the electorate and if history tells us anything its this, americans dont like to be ignored or taken lightly. so in closing if they stay the course they will lose the senate and the presidency next election

Um no, not really.  They're just pawns in Bush's game.  He calls the shots, they do what they're told.

I think he's had the message for some time now.  Of course he doesn't care though.  He's doing what he thinks is right.  \n\nEven with Bush, there must be some unconscious part of him that knows the way the whole thing has happened has been a mistake.  You can tell by the way he's always trying to convince the public.  If it was right action, there would be no convincing.  He would just say what's happened, what decisions he's making, and he would just answer questions straightly.\n\nI have to say thanks to the American public for showing the rest of the world that it's not just non-Americans that can't stand what's been happening in Iraq.\n\nAs for the president, I think he'll stick with his story til his dying day.  He doesn't want to lose face.

His goal is to stay the course.\n\nTHAT MEANS.....more americans dying everyday in this endless struggle for the Iraqi people. I think he has a quota of 25,000 dead troops, and at least 75,000 casualties. He's on track for that.\n\nA smarter idea would be to let the Iraqis run their own nation.

We stay the course.  The Iraqi security forces are growing and gaining experience.  The Iraqi economy is growing and the enemy is despised by the Iraqi people.\n\nThe only way we can lose now is if the anti-war movement stabs our soldiers in the back - again.

You may believe that all of a sudden Bush has seen the light as expressed by the voters, but a leopard does not change it's spots. \nHis efforts are purely for salvaging what is left of the Republican party. He will play nice with the Dems. when it serves his purpose but be assured he will stay the course. Rove hasn't hung up his bag of dirty tricks yet.

George, for God's sake, Stay The Course !\nIs that his message or maybe it isn't !\nWho knows ??

Best to let the foolish prove themselves to be what they are. Bush tends to pick his battles. No need to even give this nut a platform on which to speak. If Bush answers his rediculous accusation, the press will look to him for a rebuttal. He's not worth the air time.

NOT AT ALL.\n\nDICTATOR BUSH DOES WHATEVER HE WANTS. SCANDAL AFTER SCANDAL HE CONTINUES TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS AND NOBODY IS STOPPING HIM.  HE'S LONG OVERDUE FOR IMPEACHMENT.

NO HE WILL NOT ... he practicly built the place for his political enemys .... and his war crimes dont count ... because he is Bush.

By now only the terminally brain dead or U.S. government propagandized zombies would think staying there is viable or even sane. \nBy the way, the much-too-oft -used phrase "Stay the course" is a farce also coined by madmen who have no direction but to their bank accounts.

It all depends on who the leaders are. In Bush's case he has shown that his judgement is not meant to be trusted.

Woooo very good question. I think that the Dem. Party will win next.  but who knows.  not many people are happy with him (bush). even the guys over seas think we should pull out.

Yes I think Bush is gonna hold on for the full term. We the people are continuing to hand over more and more of our liberties in the name of safety. Were afraid of terrorism. Were afraid of crime. Hell were even afraid of people who have thoughts that aren't dictated by the media or the government. Shame really.. I remember a time when we were free to speak our mind no matter how unpopular our thoughts.Once our forefathers thought freedom was worth dieing for now we cheapening the deaths of those who died for freedom by giving it away so trivially in the name of safety.

He has announced it with the resignation of Rumsfeld and what he called a "thumping" to the Republican party.  He heard us.  Before yesterday he was listening to his advisors but now he is listening to us and in January he will be listening to Nancy Pelosi.\nHe just will dance around the truth like he always does.  He has a reason for every lie he tells and when he admits the truth he can always justify why it wasn't the truth all along.\n\nBush seemed stoic about the election, proclaiming: "This isn't my first rodeo."\n\n"I recognize that many Americans voted last night to register their displeasure with the lack of progress being made" in Iraq, the president said. "Yet I also believe most Americans — and leaders here in Washington from both political parties — understand we cannot accept defeat\n\nThe president, who spoke of spending his political capital after his successful re-election two years ago, acknowledged, "As the head of the Republican Party, I share a large part of the responsibility."
