S-S-S-Stay the Course

It makes sense, Rick Santorum has supported everything else that Bush wanted. So, now that Bush wants to rewrite the facts and deny that he has ever been stay the course, Santorum joins in the lie. Tuesday, on Hardball, Santorum said "well, it's never been my policy" and "I don't know whether its been the administration's policy or not". (2 Political Junkies has more coverage.)

{UPDATE}Here's a Press Release on the Senator's website:

Continue to Back Our Troops
August 30, 2005
For Immediate Release August 26, 2005
Contact: Tim Pearson (202) 224-0610 (818 words)

Since the commencement of Operation Enduring Freedom in October 2001 and Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003, thousands of American men and women have bravely taken on the challenge of defeating tyranny, promoting democracy, and strengthening our nation. In the nearly five years our troops have been engaged in conflict in the Middle East, our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines have given a total effort in order to make our world a safer place. The road has not been easy--America has lost many fine military personnel--but it is critical that we stay the course and give our people the support and recognition to enable them to spread democracy around the world.

Then there's this one, also from the Senator's own website:

Senator Santorum Comments on Progress in Iraq and the War on Terror
December 19, 2005
Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA), Chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, today issued the following statement regarding President Bush's December 18th speech and December 19th press conference:

"I am pleased with the President’s recent efforts to convey the story of success that is being written in Iraq. Widespread elections with high participation and few acts of violence prove that the Iraqi people are moving toward a new, brighter future that’s been hard-fought by the people of Iraq with the assistance of American and Coalition forces.

"We are fighting an elusive enemy, but as a testament to our vigilance and preparedness, we have not seen another attack on our homeland since September 11, 2001. The President has been clear, we will stay the course in Iraq to send a message to those who seek to destroy democracy and hurt innocent people. We are a country of resolve and determination and we cannot waiver in our mission to secure democracy in Iraq; it is essential to safeguarding democracy and peace around the world."

Bush lies and Santorum swears to it.
