Unlike your two contributions so far, mine actually dealt with the subject... lies used by politicians as a tool for attack and benefit from it.

Very possible, but you failed to read the links that the OP got all that crap from. I mentioned what was said in the link and you didn't even know about that. You really should try to read some links, now and then.

They said there was some points of truth, but that the facts were stretched and their ads were misleading at best.

But again, here IS what they said:

But it’s one thing to argue that taxes on medical device manufacturers may lead to higher health insurance premiums, and another to say the law directly taxes such things as “heart attacks, sick puppies or even new babies.
