Except this isn't an example... this is a perversion of a whole quote into an attack ad.

JT was trying to describe a more complex policy of how the CPC was focused on balancing the budget (I believe on selling GM shares at a loss just to make the budget balance) and his focus was to grow the economy which in turn would lead to the budget to balance itself.

Quote:
The commitment needs to be a commitment to grow the economy, and the budget will balance itself. This way [the way the Conservatives were doing it], they're artificially fixing a target of a balanced budget in an election year and they're going through all kinds of twists and bends to get it just right, and the timing just right in the announcement. And that's irresponsible. What you need to do is create an economy that works for Canadians, works for middle class Canadians, allows young people to find a job, allows seniors to feel secure in their retirement.
But it just leads back to people today want soundbites, not explanations and complexity.
