Carson in his book said he was offered a “scholarship” to West Point.

Carson was not offered a “scholarship” to West Point.
Therefore Carson’s statement in his book is a lie.

I’m guessing a lot of Carson supporters are Bush or Rubio supporters
hiding behind placeholder Carson for the moment.

"Carson in his book said he was offered a “scholarship” to West Point."

Scholarship was the term they used on high school student back then (and still do) so that the students would easier understand that they would be getting an education at West Point completely paid for. Back in the seventies, a friend of mine who was solicited by a recruiter from the Army stated the same thing

But then, I am responding to a person who jumped at believing a Politico DemoRAT hack piece, so why should you believe this? Just don't call yourself a conservative because we are a lot more intelligent than you who are so gullible.

Wrong again!
