I'd probably vote for one who doesn't try to manipulate quotes by removing context.
Which one of them does this?
Zanas.
He has this quote in his signature.
you aren't making any sense by saying you disagree with me
I actually said this.
I agree wholeheartedly with Senator X on the subject of education being a "great equalizer".
Ahem.
Frankly, Mr. Senator, I didn't say I agree with you because I don't. You say that education is the great equalizer. Senator X and I say that it should be, but tragically is not right now.
Education is the great equalizer. If it isn't, what else is? Are you saying that because our system is imperfect, that we need to find something other than education to achieve these goals? Otherwise you aren't making any sense by saying you disagree with me. Or are you saying you disagree with my stances on education? If so, which?
The exchange is a response to me saying this:
For me, education is the great equalizer. Without education and the opportunities it affords, we cannot function democratically, economically, or socially. We would not be able to call ourselves a free people.
And then I proceed recounting my record on expanding education opportunities for all and improving our systems at every level. It's disappointing, because I've always been a proponent of improving our education system and out of all candidates, I have a record of action and accomplishment in education that is unmatched.
Alfred hasn't specified where he disagrees with me beyond either misinterpreting or misrepresenting my statements.
I guess it depends on what your definition of "is" is.
