I caught just a bit of Ron Paul being interviewed last night, and he was stating the same thing. (I'm paraphrasing)...that they were written by someone else, that's NOT what he's all about, and his record "speaks for itself", and he dismissed them. I'm not saying that is the case here, but it just seems to me that much about politics these days is simply distorting the truth, spin control, etc. Damn...I feel sleazy just typing about it :)

The Democrats don't do dirty tricks. That's why they lost two elections to Bush-Rove.
Paul is more likely being victimized by the right who would like to see his votes elsewhere. The same people who demeaned the military records of McCain and Kerry--while the media stood on the sidelines and made money from it.

For once we agree.

Paul may not be a threat by poll numbers, but I'm pretty sure the top tier guys would rather him not be invited to debates, where he gets loud applause and embarasses the others. If Paul ever gets a chance to ask the other candidates some questions, well, get ready to watch them squirm. I thought his answer last night on why he is a true conservative Republican was just awesome.

Now that's funny:D

Can you really belive that Ron Paul had no knowledge of what was being written in "The Ron Paul Newsletter" for NINE YEARS?

His cover story is that he didn't write the acrticles but he paid people to write them, never read them (for nine years - how did he know anything was being written?) and that the whole thing was his editor's responsibility. The articles were published under his name and included biographical references that were meant to suggest RP was writing the article himself.

He's either lying or is the most inept candidate for president ever. If you don't mind what he's saying in those letters, that's one thing. I'd respect him more if he stood up and said that's what he believes and that's what he said. but to say he didn't know what he was publishing in his own self-titled newsletter is more goofy than putting the country back on the gold standard.

Ok, I'll have to read up more on this and see if there are photos of these things laying around. Ron Paul is the kind of guy, who, I'd be very surprised by if he didn't write all his own speeches, newsletters, constituent correspondence, etc. He just comes across as that kind of person. And since he's never changed his views on anything and never apologizes for anything, I tend to believe him if he says he didn't have anything to do with it.

Right.

Dan Rather aired fabricated documents because he wasn't on a political mission.

Time showed doctored photos (made to look worse--duh!) of Iraq because they love the Bush Admin.

Sorry, you should have typed that in brown, because it is BS. The Dems don't have to play dirty tricks (though they still do) because of all the in-kind contributions they get from the media.

It is a conspiracy, I tell you!!!!!

Of course not, not the Dems in Chicago during the Nixon/Kennedy race
not the Dems-dead ones-on the Indian Reservations
not the dumb ones in Florida that screwed up their own voting in their own precincts
not the illegals in SoCal that voted for Laura Sanchez, or whatever her gringo name was before.


Whatever, after watching him last night he should be toast.

If he wrote all his own stuff and he didn't write these, then the implication is these newsletters are forgeries.

If so, he sure as heck should be saying so, and if he doesn't say so (and prove it, surely he keeps back copies of his own newsletters), then there is something wrong.

Dan Rather and CBS got hoodwinked, and we still don't know who was behind it. Probably Rove. The result was Bush's questionable military record got overlooked by the media, and Kerry's service in Vietnam was trashed. You don't have to be a Democrat to see that. Ask John McCain.

If the Republicans were behind this it really shows how dumb the Democrats and CBS are, to get hoodwinked like that by Republicans, WOW. As dumb as you people think GW and the rest of the Republicans are, how dumb can the dems be.
