A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A gaffe in Washington is someone telling the truth, and telling the truth has never hurt me.
Politicians often lie.
If you tell the truth you get into trouble, and that's why politicians are extremely dull.
Spend hundreds of millions; talk endlessly about issues; present 12-point plans for education, the economy, and the environment. But in the end, the election of our next president can turn on a gaffe.
In politics, sometimes you have to lie, or you make a promise that you cannot keep.
One may sometimes tell a lie, but the grimace that accompanies it tells the truth.
I see it all the time in politics. If a candidate gets caught in a lie, he quickly tries to change the subject by throwing more mud at his opponent. The mud keeps flying until some of the slanderous material sticks.
Telling the truth, and confronting the challenge, is what politics is about.
Politicians, it's in their job description to just lie, every day.
I know that sometimes politics creates situations in which people want to say particular things for political reasons.
