Reply #35: Speaking of context

[Feanorcurufinwe]

the context of how a quote is used matters as well. For instance, let's take a case where a poster is responding to over-the-top charges like: 'Candidate X is just Bush's lap dog - how can we vote for anyone who believes Bush on anything?'

in this case it would certainly be appropriate to respond with the 'I tend to believe the President' quote from Candidate Y. Whether the second part of it is included or not, it would still show that the world is not black-and-white and it would still be a valid reply.
