This is the cry of every fool who blindly supports a politician who lacks integrity and is betraying him.

If you translate that statement, I'll respond to it.

The quote you can't understand refers to the reflex excuses folks make when someone they admire is demonstrated to be unable to do the things he or she promised to do. RLK's statement is perfectly understandable. The language level used is appropriate to an 11th grade level of English, or at least an 11th grade level of 30 years ago.

Thanks for correcting that 11th grade level error in the original post.

Of course, but what does it have to do with anything I posted? I don't admire any politician and I don't expect them to fulfill all or even most of their promises. RLK statement, on the other hand, seems to apply perfectly to himself.

Yes, but it's irrelevant or non sequitur, whichever you prefer.

Pedantic BS similar to RLK's "any fool..." tripe. You two belong together.
