SO your dislike of Cruz is not based on anything factual.
The question is pointless.
It is impossible to know how honest someone is unless they admit they are lying.
And since I assume none of the candidates will EVER admit they are lying, it is impossible (by definition) to know who monster them is the 'most dishonest'
You might as well debate about which one hates liver the most...it's virtually impossible to know.
No its not. If they are saying one thing one minute and the next minute saying the opposite then it is apparent they are lying. For example Trump saying "I like so so and so, he is a good person,and a competent person" and then shortly after saying the complete opposite.
That is not the only definition of lie.The definition of lying does not rely solely on what someone's intention were.Lying does not only exist when there is intent to deceive.No...by definition, lying only exists when there is 'intent to deceive'. And unless you know the person's intent, you cannot know they are lying...they can always claim they just changed their mind and you cannot realistically know they are lying.
You can believe, hope or assume they ar lying, but you CANNOT know unless they admit it...by definition.

an inaccurate or false statement; a falsehood.
to express what is false; convey a false impression.
Ted Cruz is up to no good, you can tell that by watching him.
And some of the others do not include intent.One...the first two definitions include intent.
Wrong.Two...one cannot be lying by stating an inaccurate statement if they truly believe the statement is accurate.
No. Its not the same thing as saying you totally believe this or that and then sometime later try to back track to say that you really didn't believe that, it was ploy to stop something else. For example this.Yes or no please...if I say it is sunny outside (because I last looked outside 10 minutes ago and it was sunny) even though it is now cloudy...am I lying if I sincerely believe it is sunny?
Like he's going to steal a car?

So you have no evidence of wrong doing on Cruz's part.(chuckle)
good one
Nahh, he's got an agenda that he ain't tellin people. He's used deception in his campaign fundraising, he;s avoid his Canadian birth - which certainly IS an issue and he keeps yackin about Trump. Trump is not an issue, he's an attention whore out promoting his brand.
Cruz is hidin stuff.
So you have no evidence of wrong doing on Cruz's part.
Democrats: Hillary Clinton hands down.
Republicans: Probably Ben Carson with Ted Cruz a close second
Overall: Hillary. In all honesty I do not know how she can sleep at night. She has betrayed so many in her base. She lies about lying. One of the most dishonest politicians ever!
Actually I think Donald is too honest. He may backtrack but IMO Ted and Hillary are much worse. They were lawyers so they have professional experience in lying.
Rubio probably lies but IMO he has not mastered that ability to the degree Ted and Hillary have.
And some of the others do not include intent.

The last two definitions are not just add ons.Oh come on now.
The last two definitions are clearly just add ons. The first one or two definitions of a word are always the primary definitions...that should go without saying.
You admit yourself that you are not lying just by making an innacurate statement.
You prove they lied by what they said.Those examples have already been proven to you.Can you prove with 100% certainty that a candidate has lied about something (if they do not a admit it). Yes or no?
Sorry, they clearly were. But whatever.The last two definitions are not just add ons.
Are you serious? My example was NOT that.Your example is false because the sun was shining at the time you claimed it was sunny.However if you stepped outside and saw that it was sunny and claimed it was raining you would be lying regardless if you intended to deceive or not.
You prove they lied by what they said.Those examples have already been proven to you.
Definitions have more than one meaning. A lie is false statementSorry, they clearly were. But whatever.
Are you serious? My example was NOT that.
For the last time...
If I am in a room with no windows and I came inside 20 minutes earlier when it was sunny. And someone asks me while I am still inside the windowless room if it is sunny outside. If I say it was sunny (because I believe it is as the last time I looked outside it was) - even though it became cloudy since I went inside - am I lying....Yes or no?
You did not answer my question.
Can you prove with 100% certainty that they were lying and did not just change their mind on an issue?
Yes or no, please?
Not do you believe they did...vpcan you prove it with 100% certainty?
If they say it is sunny (in this example) is it a lie...yes or no?Definitions have more than one meaning. A lie is false statement
Your example is not even comparable because its based on what you saw at the time.
Yes you can prove someone lied by what they said. I provided you with examples. You can not honestly sit there and say that Trump isn't lying when he says he likes someone, thinks that person is competent, and then practically immediately later say the complete opposite.You can not sit there and honestly say Hillary was telling the truth when she said she was under sniper fire when clearly she wasn't.
If they say it is sunny (in this example) is it a lie...yes or no?
If you cannot even answer this simple question...then please stop wasting my time with this.
I cannot say he lied. I can say I believe he lied (if I thought that). But I cannot honestly say he lied since I do not know that he intended to deceive.
People are allowed to change their minds you know.
The question isn't even comparable. Hillary Clinton said she was under sniper fire. It was proven that never happened.How was she not lying?
How is saying you had your lawyers looked into a issue and said it was good and that person is a good person only a short time later claim the opposite because that person you first said nice things about is now climbing up in the polls? How do you change your mind on saying you were under sniper fire?
