[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, cause politicians never exaggerate or have their way with the truth or half truths.  Than never happens. It's such a noble profession and when a politician speaks, I know it to be Gospel.  [/quote]

Politicians routinely try to spin things to their advantage. This includes stretching the truth, not providing the full story, leaving out context, etc. But, Romney/Ryan seem to have taken this to a whole new level. Ryan's convention speech alone is a mastery of deception. Can you point to a similar speech that remotely compares? If someone had told you that a major American political party would select as a central theme of its nominating convention an out-of-context quote, would you have believed them?

As has been said several times in this thread, if Romney/Ryan had something factual on which to run, they would not have to engage in deception of epic proportions. This is not business as usual, this is a whole new ballgame for deception.[/quote]
We can disagree, right? I don't like it, I'm not defending it, I don't think it's right, I do think it's the same old crapolla.  The dems just get irate when the republicans are better at it.  [/quote]

Yes, of course we can disagree. But, can you cite any Democratic deception that is anywhere comparable? As for Hillary, that is the more typical type of exaggeration we expect from politicians and she certainly paid the price for it. If the Democrats devote an entire night of their convention to the theme that Romney likes to fire people, maybe you will have a case. But, right now, I think the Republicans are in unchartered territory.[/quote]
Again, it's because the Republicans are better at it than the Democrats.  [/quote]

Again, you have failed to cite anything the Democrats have done that is comparable. Perhaps, in your mind, "more blatant" or "greater scale" translate automatically into "better". In that case, our disagreement would be over your definition of words.
