Cutting the quote off at the selected point changes the intent of the statement. Pure manipulation.


So, ON EVERY FRONT he(and his ilk) are trying to INCREASE THE REGULATORY (ie role) of THE GOVERNMENT..........


kind of goes against this..."That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves." Thomas Jeferson

"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government" Thomas Jefferson

yep, you are right, that is what I think we see a lot of, better known as para-phrasing. It happens on both sides, that being said, even adding the rest of the statement, the last thing we need is increasing the role of government in anything...
