I'll give you an example: Bush says Kerry voted to raise taxes 600 times (or some big number, I confess I don't remember, but I may even look it up for you), which, if you count all the procedural votes, is "true". However, if you're only counting "enacting" votes, the number goes down precipitously (like, by 75%).
This is only one in a long, long, long list of possible manipulations of "facts".
Please don't try to tell me this is news to you.

POF - he said 98 times. Not sure substantively it matters whether its 98 or 600. It's still a lot. |
