    Huh?. What's old news, Ron Paul's 20 year old newsletter, or Newt's 5 year old newsletter?

    Ron Paul Newsletter

    Logical fallacy. You can tell a lot about someone by how they handle a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas lights. You can tell a lot about a person by their bumper sticker, or their coffee mug. You can tell a lot about a person by what they do when with the empty roll when they've...

    how shopping for van stuff ends in detainment>?

    well, he was looking at camping beds for the van, and other camping stuff that might come in handy, and then saw and got distracted by the machete. I don't think he was considering the machete for the van, per say, just that it was cheap and thought for five bucks, why not? they way he worded...

    Oh, I think it's legit, happened exactly the way he said. "Young and stupid" can manifest itself in many ways. For example, he..put..a..machete.....in..his....pants. There ya go.

    It's actually very common in newsletters in general, where the namesake doesn't write the content. What's interesting, I think, is the blatant hypocrisy of Newt on both the health care issue with Romney, then as opposed to now, as well as his hypocrisy of chiding Paul for not writing his own...

    Warning Concerning The "Other Site"

    Smell that? Smells like bird stew. Hopefully it'll turn out OK. I'd hate to see the whole pot thrown out because it stinks too much.

    Ron Paul Newsletter

    Wow, five back-to-back posts questioning the veracity and possible bias of the messenger. While ad hominem attacks are not always fallacious and are sometimes quite appropriate, concocting a hypocritical situation or pushing the definition of hypocrisy for the express purpose of an ad hominem...

    how shopping for van stuff ends in detainment>?

    Exactly. One can always claim, legitimately, that they were going to pay for it before they left the store. The power of "merchant's privilege" provides for the detention of persons suspected of shoplifting only when probable cause or reasonable cause exists...

    Which is probably why he put a stop to it when he found out about it.

    Some people burn through EGR valves, headlamps, MAFs and turbos. Some people have more rust than paint on the bodies. Others go through those 4-pin relays like beer through a bladder. Fortunately (not for me and a few others) tensioner problems are rare. One thing's for sure, if the...

    Ron Paul Newsletter

    You're likely right about that, most everyone else will see one of those two options, despite one being unprovable and the other being a logical fallacy.

    Ron Paul Newsletter

    That's because you're projecting your own experience, and, for lack of a better phrase, "small time" endeavors onto a large-scale investment and political newsletter operation. As an example, do you think, say, Rupert Murdock, publisher of countless magazines and newspapers, all bearing his...

    Ron Paul Newsletter

    Of course, a laundry list of "ifs, could-bes, and may-bees," really isn't evidence of anything. We learned that from of the 9/11 conspiracy theorists, the FEMA Death Camp aficionados, and the ever-popular Birthers. People will believe what they want, and will make excuses for, or dismiss...

    Mine's been about 58,000 miles, give or take. It's fun. It's not questionable at all. There's no question that some of it, like the interior lights, came out of einen Kracker Jack boxen. :D

    Yeah, that's who I figured you meant. If you had used "in addition to" rather than "instead of", it's at that point the argument can easily be made, since that's one of the benefits of ghostwriting.

    That could only be "easily argued" if the argument has a basis in fact. Otherwise, it's just a baseless charge.
