The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

It's politics. Of course people try to undermine the leadership of the other party.

As any good liar knows (not that I claim to be a good liar), what makes your lies more effective is if you mix them with partial truths. Or only tell part of the story. As an example, you tried to accuse me of withholding the name of Lugar in an attempt to tell only half the story (though clearly as I introduced the name of Lugar in the clip this was not the case).

Many things WIlson said were true. Many things Wilson said were not the complete story. Many things Wilson said were lies.

Again, I honestly feel a bit sorry for you in that you've missed these discussions on the board from long ago. To me anyway, and I would guess it is to Scrooge and many others, it isn't worth going through it all again when it is quite easy for all of us to find stories and quotes and opinion pieces that agree with the point of view in question, and the opinions here are not likely to change from it all being hashed out again.
