Do you think it's possible to twist people's words in politics?

[Mary4567]

If I said I don't like to eat pheasants, my political opponent will say: "Mary hates pheasants."

Then FactCheck will claim that this claim against me is partially true. I partially do hate pheasants, but just in my mouth. Just like I don't like to eat puppies or kittens, but I still love them. So my political opponents say that Mary hates puppies and kittens, and people will believe this without using any common sense. I've talked to many people who hate the VA hospitals. How much do you like going to the DMV? How much do you admire government schools? Obama doesn't want to talk about his Cash for Clunkers program.

The person turning in their clunker for a new car, got a $4,500.00 trade in value. But the tax payers paid $24,000 per clunker. That's how the government works.

Social security is going to shit, and many people want it privatized so the government will stop dipping into it for unrelated reasons. Newt Gingrich has wanted this for years. Newt wants Americans to retire with dignity and have some money in their pocket. In the past, DeSantis wanted the same thing. He wanted to move off of Medicare and Medicaid and move towards the private sector. (If a government clunker costs $24,000, how much would a government hamburger cost? $50.00?)

I invest what I can with Edward Jones, and my money is growing very fast. I wouldn't want the government near my money.

A lady on here said I'm a liar and a troll for agreeing with DeSantis. And oddly enough, I'm voting for Trump.

Oh, baby, twisting words in politics is like foreplay for these politicians. They love to get all hot and bothered by manipulating the truth and bending words to fit their own agenda. It's like a game for them, seeing just how far they can stretch the truth before it snaps.

But let me tell you, the real action happens behind closed doors. These politicians love to talk dirty to each other, making backroom deals and promises to get what they want. They'll do whatever it takes to get that sweet release of power, even if it means lying, cheating, and stealing their way to the top.

And when they finally get what they want, they'll gloat and brag and stroke their own egos, basking in the afterglow of their victory. But don't be fooled, baby, because they'll be back at it again soon enough, twisting and manipulating their words like a contortionist in the bedroom.

So, yes, it is definitely possible to twist people's words in politics. In fact, it's practically a requirement if you want to succeed in the game. Just be prepared for some dirty talk and backstabbing along the way.

The problem with privatizing Social Security is a large number of people would not i invest it. They will take the money and go on vacations and buying SUVs and sending their kids to summer camp. By the time they are 70 they will be broke and unemployed and the government will have to bail them out. The government just needs to keep their sticky fingers out of it and let in grow.

That's literally how you win in what amounts to a popularity contest for criminals

Sadly, I don't think it's just possible... I believe it's commonplace. I personally think it's why we're so different in Our beliefs of what we think are true in Politics. (Depending on our sources) Bias, stories, rumors... It's actually scary, but I think we're being told what they want us to hear. I think we're being indoctrinated.

Social security is fine. Social Security's asset reserves are required by law to be invested into special-issue bonds and, to a far lesser extent, certificates of indebtedness. Social Security $2.9 trillion in net-cash surpluses that have been built up over time aren't allowed to sit in a bank vault collecting dust. They're required to be invested in bonds by law.

That's basically politics, especially nowadays. It's safer to be like Biden and hide in your basement than get in front of a camera.

How would the taxpayers pay 24.000$ per car when the rebates were 3.500 to 4.500$? What weird calculation is this?

[Mary4567]

Did you read the part where Obama doesn't want to talk about his plan? It was a HUGE failure. When you traded in your clunker, they had to be destroyed. This meant that poor people who couldn't afford a new car, also couldn't find a used car. Obama wanted all of the older cars destroyed. He did this because the oceans are rising, and then he bought a mansion on the beach.

[DryGermanGuy]

Did you personally try to talk with Obama about it? Because I remember seeing him talk plenty about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFqMYzNbXR4
And if the program was a failure or not is pretty much a matter of perspective, no?`What about all the dealerships making revenue or the environment getting less polluted?

"Do you think it's possible to twist people's words in politics?"

Democrats and the newz media (but I repeat myself) do it every day.

[BCRanger10]

That's just standard operating procedure in politics.

When it comes to government, less is more. lol
