What's the distinction between cherry picking and a lie? A lie is a statement intended to deceive. Intentionally presenting selective evidence to sway the overall message of said evidence is a lie. If I got in a car accedent because I was driving drunk and ran a stop sign, but the other guy didn't come to a complete stop at a stop sign, and I only told the police about the other guy not stopping at the stop sign and omitted the fact I was intoxicated and ran a stop sign, I would be lying.
It was deliberately misleading, which is a lie.
It's amazingly noble to admit that you regret your vote. I hope you understand how much I respect that ability to learn from one's mistakes or misjudgments. We all screw up, especially me, but it's when you learn from those mistakes that you improve yourself. I applaud that.
