"spin"?
Well, Mary, she seemed to be reacting to my original comments as if I'd
stated Reagan and Bush, Sr. were "pure" Republicans, which I never said. I
never mentioned those two nor was I discussing modern day Republican
ideology other than to say it had changed from the original. She came back
to assert the same thing I did (Republicans today are not the same as in
Lincoln's day) but framed it in a way that tried to make it appear that I
had said the opposite.
> To me, she was expressing an honest opinion that didn't happen to be the
same as yours.
Wrong, to me she was expressing the same thing I had originally but trying
to distance herself from that fact in a way that I thought was spinning my
original comments.
Maybe my definition of "spin" is incorrect, though.
