bump!
Go away troll.
You asked the same question 7 times already and I answered it.
Instead of responding, you keep asking the same question.
Do you still beat your wife, yes or no?
Neither is not an answer.
Of course that’s a silly assumption - there’s no right answer. It’s a logical fallacy.
Yet - That’s the kind of logic you are employing.
No you haven't.
There is essentially one question, one that you have dodged the entire thread:
Was Paul lying in 1996 or in 2001?
He made one statement about the newsletters in '96, and another completely contradictory statement about them in '01.
Only one of the statements can be accurate, which means that the other is a lie.
So again: Which one was the lie?
Yes, Paul lied but so did Fred about Aristide. Paul has apolgoized for his lie but Fred hasn’t. Please note that Paul apologized in 2001 when he didn’t have to. If want to destroy Paul, fine, but your moral obligation is clear. You have to do the same or worse to Fred.
So we have one Ron Paul supporter who answers that Ron Paul was lying in 1996.
True, but Chris Peden is running in the primary against Paul, and should Paul win reelection, the GOP leadership could in fact deny Paul the right to caucus with them, in effect ostracizing him. If you pull his ability to use RNC resources for fundraising, you’ve put a helluva kink in his money stream, internet or not.
LOL, now that is funny.
You’re really a fair guy. You quote out of context but never admit what I said about Fred’s lies or address the double standard. This is apparently a game for you not a give and take discussion.
“Only one of the statements can be accurate, which means that the other is a lie.”
1996 was the ‘lie’ which he explained and repudiated in 2001.
When will you live up to your documented lies in this thread, such as those about
- the timetable of Thompson’s support for Aristide
- the nature of Paul’s military service
- how or why Fred was fooled by Aristide
- your claims about what I’ve said or not said in this thread, which I rebutted several times, backed up by links to the posts?
I know. I'm just busting your chops. There aren't many Rudy people I can gloat to around here these days. Nothing personal.
That is more honesty than the candidate himself showed, and still more honesty than you yourself are willing to show.
They could. I doubt he'll be using RNC resources, but he's got plenty of his own. Besides, a third party question makes the question moot. Hopefully we won't be looking at a one vote House split.
Picard is a lot more awesome than Kirk.
Captain Kirk was able to answer the question, GITP.
He says Paul was lying in '96.
Which leads to the next issue about the authorship of Paul's newsletters.
Captain Kirk says that Paul was foolish not to out the real author of thiose newsletters.
Yet to this day, 12 years later with his credibility on the line, he has not given the names of the authors.
And that issue dovetails with the fact that much of the newsletter was written from a first person perspective using Paul's personal details.
Why was Paul taking money from people on the understanding that they were reading his personal thoughts and reflections on the news of the day, when they were actually reading someone else's?
Why was Paul running this scam on his own fans?
Wideawake won’t answer you. When Fred lies about Aristide (and still continues to lie), it is okay with him. All for the cause, you know. I condemn Paul’s earlier lie but forgive him because the apologize. Wideawake neither acknowledges Fred’s lies.
Trade is an aspect of that. Supporting and lobbying for US trade policy regarding whom we trade with isn’t a blind support directly for a specific representative.
Maybe I need to dumb it for Captian Kirk. Just because you believe in the right to transport down to a planet doesn’t mean your supporting that right also defines you support Scotty.
Your timeline od the Texas Monthly article - another lie.
You said in #9
“. In Texas Monthly and earlier this week he denied writing them and said anyone who thinks them is small minded.”
It was in 2001.
Paul told one white lie in 1996 - I almost need 3 hands to count the whoppers you’ve told on this thread alone. :)
DING! DING! DING!
We have finally gotten an answer to the very simple question.
It's now a total of two Ron Paul supporters who admit that Ron Paul lied.
