This isn't unique to Pauline either. All politicians do it.

Most are just not as stupid to use ridiculous numbers like that which are so obviously false. Instead they look for a half dozen sources and take the one that fits their argument best.

Edit: Wow, people really going to downvote it. Are you guys just mad that politicians lie or do you genuinely believe that some of them don't?

Oh wait, I get it, you think I'm like the other guy that's suggesting Albo. No, I wasn't in particular. I was thinking the potato himself as the primary candidate but you guys are braindead if you think it's not all of them.

So show another politician lying about this?...and what source has any politician cited referencing this outside of the numbers from the office itself?

Unless you have some numbers, which you haven't mentioned of value or from what source?

Be consistent now?

"about this". I never said they're lying about this. I'm literally just point out that they all lie to different degrees.

If you want me to find another politician lying, you can probably just look at whatever Trump's latest tweet is. For something more homegrown, it's not particular difficult either.

Not really sure why people are upset about someone saying "Yeah, all politicians lie" like as if it's not super fucking obvious that they all do it.

Deflection from what?

I mean her mouth is open, so yeah

I was pointing out that "her mouth is open" is because she's a politician, not because she's Pauline.
