While not enamored with this trick, Romney pulled and the GOPe would pull this type of crap in a second to eliminate the conservatives from this race. In some ways, it is good to know that there is a conservative in this race who can play dirty.

Politics ain’t bean bag. Trump is a fighter, Cruz is a fighter and Rubio will have the GOPe behind him. Lest anyone think that the way to the nomination and the White House is by being as pure as the wind driven snow:

Carson needs to make up his mind.
Yesterday he said it was CNN that reported he was quitting the campaign, no today it’s Cruz’ fault.
Carson is just mad that many of his team quit and went to Cruz.

I wasn’t aware there was a Team Carson left. Hadn’t most of his political staff jumped ship long ago?

Lest we forget.... In other news:
Meet Chad C. Sweet, Ted Cruz’s campaign chairman, former DoD/CIA/Goldman Sachs/Homeland Security.

Sweet co-founded the Chertoff Group with former Bush and Obama administration Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff.

As a leader of the Chertoff Group, Sweet “advocated for expanding NSA metadata collection.”

http://www.chertoffgroup.com/bios/chad-sweet.php

Meet Ted’s ex-CIA PR guy, Dan P. Gabriel. Gabriel is involved in SIGINT aka interception - which is turned into propaganda. His twitter handle is @danpgabriel and he was one of the people pushing the angle that it was confirmed to the Cruz campaign that Carson was dropping out. After called out on the lie, the agent deleted the tweet and denies everything in typical spook fashion:

Williams said he's certain that Cruz knew the rumors about him dropping out were false

All of Carson's SuperPAC in NH quit over the weekend, and then his team tells CNN Carson is leaving the caucuses early to go home to Florida and will be "taking a break" from campaigning (at least that is what was first reported). And with all of that, William's is "certain" that Cruz knew all of that didn't indicate Carson might be dropping out?

And has Carson expressed ANY outrage at Rubio? If not, why not?

Again...just because you accept an apology does NOT mean you don’t expect there to be consequences.

In fact, the mark of a real apology is that the apologizer attempts to make some kind of restitution. That is the biblical way, and Cruz and Carson are both biblical Christian candidates....at least they say that.

Beware those who run as self-proclaimed "Christians", those who have to tell you about their "principles."

The actions of Ted "Nixon" Cruz contradict both claims.

Note also he apologized without holding his staff accountable. I've come to believe he knew about the mailer. Knew about the text indicating Carson was dropping out. This man has situational ethics.

A number of his staff left before the Iowa election. They accused him of being a phony. I discounted it at the time. Now I understand what they said they witnessed.

Although Reagan is who he mimics verbally, Nixon is his role model on action.

With Carson’s funding taking a nose dive, he can’t afford to let go of this.

Ben Carson’s campaign raised around $23 million in the last three months of 2015, his campaign manager Barry Bennett said on Wednesday — one-upping Ted Cruz's fourth-quarter haul of nearly $20 million.

You got anymore lies? Cruz

Cruz campaign chair worked in the Clandestine Arm of CIA and has access to a former Director of CIA and NSA that works for his firm.

Carson in over his head.

No Carson and Trump are not the “inept” ones. They did not pull dirty crap like the Cruz camp did.

I remember what someone told me; “When someone hands you their head on a platter - why not take it?”

That is what Ted did, he handed ammunition to his opponents. Not smart. “Principled” Ted isn’t. He just blew that to smithereens. That dog don’t hunt no more.

One affected delegate count and the other didn’t. Who called him a pedophile?

This is the most publicity Carson has gotten since Trump called him a child molester.
