Was Paul lying in 1996 when he admitted authoring the newsletter?

Or was he lying in 2001 when he denied writing the newsletter?

It was one or the other. Which was it?

I'm not defending Aristide. I am pointing out that Aristide - like many elected executives who became dictators - played the game of pretending to support popular government at the beginning of their careers

Bingo. Do you think less of Fred because he was fooled by Aristide (when many others were not) and still refused to apologize for signing the form call for Aristide's restoration to power? Heck, Fred hasn't even admitted that he wanted to restore Aristide to power though he signed the form stating otherwise. Again, I'm really pissed off at Paul for this mistake.....but the I note that many others slide for theri mistakes and nobody, nobody calls them on it. Paul has apologized. When will Fred?

Now I’m ‘changing the subject?’

I would say that posting non-existent links on a topic outside of the thread is changing the subject.

I ask again:

When Ron Paul admitted in 1996 that he wrote the newsletters, was he lying?

Or was he lying in 2001 when he denied writing the newsletters?

Which was it?

You can lie more about Fred Thompson to your heart's content later - just let me know about the thread topic: was Paul lying in '96 or in '01?

“You still have not made any effort to address the issue at hand. Will you ever address the issue, or will you simply continue to deflect?”

Try reading the thread - I did on 3 separate occasions, and linked to all 3 another time.

You’re just mad that Paul isn’t a supporter of killing babies, like your candidate is.

Absolutely--the same thing they did when David Duke ran as a Republican. Ostracize and stop supporting him. If he wins his Congressional seat again, do not allow him to caucus with the GOP. IIRC, there was a guy (racist) running for a state seat in TN. The state GOP actually endorsed the guy's DEMOCRAT opponent. If only the RNC had the same principles/stones.

The GOP ran a second Republican candidate in Duke's La House race as well. Personally I don't think Paul's worth that, if his district want's him, they're welcome to him.

Ahhh, should have Googled. It's Friday and I'm lazy.

Don't go blaming it on Friday. And as far as abortion goes, that's one big reason I won't support Romney or Guiliani.

However, unless and until WE THE PEOPLE vote them OUT of office and put in people more representative of those views, we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

If there wasn't a 95% reelection rate to Congress, maybe we'd see some change. Is it worth shaking up the party to possibly make it stronger and more conservative in the long run? Sure--but you also run the risk of marginalizing the party. Yeah, it'd be nice to have a party where everyone adhered to conservative principles, but that would also be a party that never drew more than 20-30 percent nationally. Sorry, but it's a fact of life that it takes all sorts to make the world go round.

Paul was lying in 1996 when he foolishly refused to out the person who wrote the newsletter. This was a terrible lapse and he has apologized. It is a major screw-up and he'll have to live with it.

Fred was lying more recently when he claimed that he only opposed the embargo on Haiti when he actually signed a form stating that he supporting the restortation of Aristide to power. He has still refused to address this lie or apologize. Paul has. Happy now.....politiicans lie including Fred and Ron Paul. but some are willing to amit it later.

“You can lie more about Fred Thompson to your heart’s content later - just let me know about the thread topic: was Paul lying in ‘96 or in ‘01?”

I answered your questions several times, and you are the only one who has lied about Thompson on this thread.

As I proved several times.

In fact, anyone who reads this thread in it’s entirety will notice that I corrected every one of your lies, and backed it up with sources.

Get a grip.

Bad analysis.

The agreed upon facts:

(1) There were newsletters published under Ron Paul's name prior to 1996.

(2) In 1996 Paul acknowledged authorship.

(3) Since 2001 Paul has denied authorship.

This means that Paul was either lying in 1996 or he has been lying since 2001.

It would only be fallacious to pose this question if it were not yet established that the newsletter ever existed, and my question were then being asked on the false presumption that the newsletter existed.

However, its existence has been established and is acknowledged by both Paul and by his critics.

Your logic is as flawed as your argument.

Was Paul lying in 1996 when he admitted authoring the newsletter?

Or was he lying in 2001 when he denied writing the newsletter?

It has to be one or the other. Neither is not a logical answer.

So which was it?
