Bush claims Kerry said this: "I am the anti-war candidate."
Kerry actually said: "I am in the group of people who don't approve of the way the President went to war."
This is all b******t anyway. Do any of you actually believe Kerry would stop the war? |
Uh...Why did you quote Bush as saying something he never said? Bush's statement are completely in line with Kerry's self-description.
Words mean something. |
| Bush wrote: | | And now almost two years after he voted for the war in Iraq, about 220 days after switching positions to declare himself the anti-war candidate, my opponent has found a new nuance. |
I was paraphrasing Bush's statement, not quoting him.

And yet you used quotation marks prefixed with "Bush claims Kerry said this:"
BTW, "paraphrasing" repeats what someone said in the same context using different words. "Rephasing" changes what they said. Words mean something.

Right. Were I quoting Bush, it would've looked like "Bush said: "<me quoting Bush>"

Wrong and wrong. You intentionally misquoted Bush to try and support your argument. I'm smarter than you, though, so it didn't work.
