What’s the word used in that article to describe what happened Andy.

Where’s the lie andy?
A gun ban is a gun ban.
Where is the lie?
Point it out to me if you can.

oops, looks like you didn’t know what you were talking about andy..
Tell me again how a gun ban is not a gun ban.
You claimed that Romney signed a permanent GUN ban.
What he signed was an "assault weapons" ban. It did not ban: revolvers, semi-automatic pistols, shotguns, or most categories of rifles. But okay, chief. If you want, I'll agree to your terminology. Romney obviously did sign a bill that banned some guns and he was wrong to do so, no matter what his rationale. Banning some guns is not the same thing as banning "all" guns, but it's still wrong and obviously we agree on that.
Now, you have chosen to focus on this particular issue to avoid having to answer my original statement to you in which I accused you of telling lies about Romney. I was not just talking about guns - you made other questionable statements, including:
"Obamacare is the same thing as Romneycare, just nationwide".
FALSE - Obamacare is vastly more intrusive and complex and involves the creation of hundreds of new bureaucracies and thousands of new regulations. Romneycare was a model of simplicity by comparison. It still sucks. But it is a far cry from what Obama has done.
"Mittens gave Massachusetts homosexual marriage".
FALSE. - The Courts did that. Same-sex marriage in Massachusetts began on May 17, 2004, as a result of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts ruling in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health that it was unconstitutional under the Massachusetts constitution to allow only heterosexual couples to marry. The court gave the Mass. legislature 180 days in which to "take such action as it may deem appropriate" following its ruling. Governor Romney ordered town clerks to begin issuing marriage licenses on May 17, 2004.
The federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) prevents married same-sex partners from having their marriage recognized by the federal government. In 2010, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts held provisions of the Act to be unconstitutional. In May 2012, the First Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously affirmed the ruling, finding DOMA unconstitutional, but stayed enforcement of the decision pending appeal to the Supreme Court.
"The Founders had lots to say about homosexuals."
LOL. Really? I don't recall that from my repeated readings of Madison and Hamilton's Federalist Papers or John Adams' diaries or Thomas Jefferson's essays, or Patrick Henry's speeches, or George Washington's letters. Sorry. I must have missed their key insights on that issue.
