I can tell you when I represented some of the same constituents as Dr. Paul I had a phone call from a lady almost in tears.

Penny (Young), Dr. Paul’s number one staff person, had told her that that was EXACTLY what Ron Paul had done. This was 2 to 3 years ago.

Hearsay.

Start with some specifics, and verify.

What country? When? To whom did Paul issue this "apology"? Congressional Junket? Private trip?

Long on accusation, short on facts. Not buying any of this. If it was true, the Paulitrolls would have long ago picked up on it.

I couldn’t care less what you believe or not. This was an avid hard working political volunteer who had been quite excited that Dr. Paul was our redistricted into our area.

Penny Young is as high up as you can go in Paul’s organization withou BEING Dr. Paul.

This volunteer called the office looking for information or help, I can’t remember which, and during the long course ofthe phone call was pretty well flummoxed by what she was told by Penny on many many issues.

Every issue I listed was one of Ron Paul’s (only from the opposite point of view).

Congressional Junket?

I don't think RP has ever gone on a single junket. You know how strict he is about spending and waste by Congress, pay raises, perks, etc.

Y’all know I am no fan of Ron Paul, but on this story, I’m with George and the others. I can’t find a single article regarding Paul going overseas (on his dime or the country’s) and apologizing to foreign leaders. He did say in a couple of speeches we owe the world an apology, but he never actually went around and said that to foreign leaders (that I can find in LexisNexis or Google.)

At that, the only overseas trip I can find for Paul is to the Czech Republic for an economic summit at the University of Prague. He just doesn’t get out much.
