Sorry it's been so long, an hour, since my last thread with a GOP lie

There are many extreme examples of their misleading 'nuance', but look at this White House press conference:

Q Tony, it seems what you have is not "stay the course." Has anybody told the President he should stop calling it "stay the course" then?

MR. SNOW: I don't think he's used that term in a while.

Q Oh, yes, he has, repeatedly.

MR. SNOW: When?

Q Well, in August, because I wrote a story saying he didn't use it -- and I was quite sternly corrected.

MR. SNOW: No, he stopped using it.

Q Why would he stop using it?

MR. SNOW: Because it left the wrong impression about what was going on. And it allowed critics to say, well, here's an administration that's just embarked upon a policy and not looking at what the situation is, when, in fact, it's just the opposite. The President is determined not to leave Iraq short of victory, but he also understands that it's important to capture the dynamism of the efforts that have been ongoing to try to make Iraq more secure, and therefore, enhance the clarification -- or the greater precision.

So after years of his saying he will 'stay the course', reaping the political benefit of looking consistent, at the first change of wind when it's bad politics, he stops using it.

He's not staying the course on 'staying the course'. I've always praised leaders for changing course when they make mistakes - which they forfeit when they attack opponents for the same, and then hypocritcally try to deny doing it themselves when they do it. It's like Bush 41 - he was right to abandon his 'read his lips' pledge, and wrong to have made it and used it politically in the campaign.

Read my lips, "stay the course". :laugh:

I guess the nut don't fall to far from the tree.
