The opposite. When you make a mistake in recollection, it's not a lie. DanTex Mar 2016 #24

What is it called when you continuously make mistakes in recollection? eShirl Mar 2016 #34

When you live decades of your life in front of a camera, every little mistake you make is recorded. DanTex Mar 2016 #36

Of course Hillary's behavior and words over so many years mean nothing- marew Mar 2016 #140

The thing is, there's nothing there. She said "dead broke" instead of "in a lot of debt". DanTex Mar 2016 #142

They were not mistakes....they were invented in order to woo voters virtualobserver Mar 2016 #41

Of course they weren't invented. They were mistakes. DanTex Mar 2016 #43

why do you even bother to push this nonsense? Republicans would rip her to shreds with this. virtualobserver Mar 2016 #48
