You have to be kidding. Hillary’s every word is a lie, a fraud and a scam.

Carson is a pretty honorable man. Maybe we should wait to hear what he has to say.

I doubt this will affect him much not in today’s world. Obama a liar. Hillary a liar. Democrats liars.

Carson has not explained yet and he is out. Are you nuts!

It can be so easy to embellish. Especially when you don’t think you’ll be caught. When he came up with the story, he didn’t think he would be running for President. That’s how it always is. Thou shalt not bear false witness. Be sure your sin will find you out.

A bit off the subject but since Obama hid all with executive order can the next President nullify that and open records? If so no wonder liberals are terrified of Trump. He is the only one of the candidates that I think would do that.

I think he forfeited the game.

why are so many of the posts infected with special character symbols?

It's a reminder that the FReepathon is on right now, and they're accepting Euros...

Carson was in ROTC. What pisses me off is conservatives jumping on the Politico bandwagon meant to destroy a good and decent man. Democrats defend outright lies and criminal acts while conservatives eat their own for inconsequential embellishments. Nasty.

“The VP’s primary job is to be able to take on the President’s job should the President leave office. “

Constitutionally, the VP is President of the Senate. Nowadays that’s waived and we have a Senate Majority Leader who fills that role and the VP goes to funerals, runs his own PR campaigns, settles Senate ties and watches the POTUS heartbeat.

If he switched parties and Jeb gets the GOP nomination I would consider voting for Ben in spite of all this bizarre stuff coming out lately.

OK, now there are three: Trump, Cruz and Rubio. …and the soon-to-drop-out dwarfs.

According to the article and people interviewed, he would have been accepted if he had applied.

I don’t support him for president but I’m not going to write him off. After all the horrible lies of Obama, Hillary, Biden and the rest, I’m not going to write off one or two white lies.

Libs loathe black conservatives and accuse them of all the old stuff - lying, going after white women, etc., just like they pulled with Cain and Thomas.

Yes, it was JROTC and not ROTC. (My son is in JROTC. Should have noticed that.)

Of course this doesn’t excuse Hillary but you can’t hit Hillary on being a liar if you are a liar too.

Is that the Donald Trump who said he knew what it was like to be a soldier because he went to military school?

“I still think Carson could add value as a VP.”

How about Surgeon General?
