Presidential Election Observations by Free Republic's Patton@Bastogne

Post GOP Presidential Debate (Three) on 2015-10-28


Jim Robinson's Free Republic Conservative website is the premier internet forum for political discussions.

Since 1996 Free Republic's astute political observers have parsed and dissected Presidential Candidates better than anyone.



Last night's GOP Presidential Debate Three (Colorado) featured several developments and suprises.

Conventional MSM Pundits and George Will will predictably conclude that John Kasisch and Mike Huckabee are headed for the political exit.

Dr. Krauthammer and George Will also may lament that "Yeb" Bush and Christ Christy will probably be "expelled" after Debate IV.



I submit that Thursday's most shocking event (from a Strategic perspective) is what many are calling the "deliberate lie" from Iowa's (currently) leading presidential candidate, Dr. Ben. Carson.

Did Dr. Ben Carson lie about not having "any associations" with the Mannatech Corporation ?


Let the discussion begin ... Thread Contributors are asked to provide footnotes and references to any "factual" remarks they wish to make.

Typical gutter politics. When you cannot make a case for your candidate you are forced to these sort of gutter scum attacks.

Epic fail posting by you

This is nit picking.

They paid him to speak at their event, and he promoted the idea of good nutrition.

‘Association’ with them that way has nothing to do with their decision making and subsequent trouble the company got itself into?

[MNJohnnie]

Yeah just cling to your loser tactics. This short of slime spent all 2011 doing the same thing to Perry then Cain. Then they were all orgasmic when Newt was in front.

Then the same politic gutter tactics were turned on Newt and destroyed him. The result was we got Loser Romney.

The only way to defeat these gutter tactics is by refusing to allow them any legitimacy in the 1st place

Stay out of the gutter if you wish to be treated as an adult.

Where are the facts? Other than assertions, I don’t see any.

Carson said last night he was paid to speak by Mannatech (just as any other public figure is paid to speak by any number of organizations) and uses their products. Those two facts do not make a formal (or informal) business association. Unless you want to say someone who drives a Ford, and spoke a couple times to a Ford employees conference is “associated” with Ford, there is no case, there are no lies.

Ronald Reagan, when he was Governor of California, said a few nice things about The People’s Temple and the work they were doing in Oakland and San Francisco.

Does that mean Ronald Reagan was somehow responsible for what happened at Jonestown?

[BitWielder1]

Carson's "lies" and "associations" are pocket lint compared to your average Dem's truckloads of unsavory garbage.

[trisham]

Well done.

[conservativejoy]

I think this was likely the most blatantly false statement I have heard in this campaign to date. He should have defined honestly his role instead of denying any role. Lending your name, your face, and your testimonial to a company to endorse their product is about as involved as it gets.

Carson even attributed his prostate cancer being cured by this product without mentioning that he had surgery. I wonder how many people were adversely affected by that.

The company has paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages and lawsuits are still being filed against them.

7th Day Adventists are really into veg and supplements.

So what..?

[conservativejoy]

Ronald Reagan wasn’t paid thousands of dollars to endorse the People’s Temple.

[Patton@Bastogne]

thanks ... it’s interesting that there are a boat-load of personal insults in this conversation ... but, alas ... a shortage of “facts” ...

[MNJohnnie]

Interesting. You were all hysteric when the Leftist media engaged in these sort of political tactics last night. Today you are busy pimping the same tactics

Shameless hypocrite.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Agree, this is on the level of blowing up a molehill of nit pick into a mountain.

His association — if one HAD to call it that — was limited to being paid to give private motivational speeches at Mannatech. Being SDA and the health nuts they are (Kellogg of cereal fame is also from that line of faith, incidentally), that was up all their alleys. But from the fuss, one would be led to think that he was paid to be a spokesman or to give endorsements etc. No such thing. He gave them private motivational speeches, believing already in their mission. If they overpaid him that’s their problem.

[conservativejoy]

Carson, as a medical doctor, lent his name, his face and made an infomercial for this company claiming in one clip that this supplement had curd his prostate cancer, leaving out that he had surgery. Those are the facts.

When a brain surgeon endorses a product, he cannot claim that he has no involvement with that product.

[RginTN]

Did Dr Carson do something illegal?

[HiTech RedNeck]

Bring out the documentation or else admit smearing.

[jimbo807]

Apparently the magic manna also cured his prostate which somehow became cancerous despite following the dietary guidelines of the OT.
