No?
Further more, Bushs' attitude is not that of a stubborn person, it's a position of fortitude, of conviction. I'm sure even someone of your political beliefs can respect that?

Using capital letters isn't going to convince me that your extreme views are mainstream. I'm just pointing out the obvious, if kerry only pays attentions to polls and goes by public opinion rather than his own conviction, and if he doesn't represent your interests, then you are not part of the majority opinion. You set up the premises for the syllogism, I just put it together for you so you would either reconsider whether your premises were correct, or that your viewpoints are extreme.
I'm not going to go through each one of them--I don't care what you think about them. I know my position and I know the complexity of the situations is far beyond what you just posted.
And someone has conviction when he or she does something out of faith. Someone is stubborn when the evidence demonstrates that one's position was wrong. Bush not only refuses to change his position when new evidence arises, he brags about refusing to pay attention to external evidence--that's stubborness, regardless of whether you agree with his rashness.
