If you don't like Carson, let it be for real reasons.
Same with Trump or Cruz.
Of course they are.
The problem is that Carson’s campaign ADMITTED he lied.
And that is the issue.
for later
Not gonna happen. At least not in the primaries when people are supporting different candidates and part of the key to the nomination is seeing the field cut down. Human nature here, people realize a lot of this is about last man/woman standing.
>> If you don’t like Carson, let it be for real reasons.
OK.
Would lying about applying to and being accepted by West Point be one of those?
How about holding seventh-day-Adventist pacifist views, expressed during a debate on national teevee?
Or, rejecting history and “arguing from silence in Scripture”, claiming that Egyptian pyramids were used to store grain rather than as tombs for Pharaohs?
And can I dislike Carson because of his very public gun-grabbing views?
How about for participating in a scheme to defraud based upon a flawed and ineffective diet supplement?
Or... ah, I think that’s enough for now. Are those all OK reasons to reject Dr. Carson?
Politico is the first place the rinos go to leak or stage a sneak attack. Politico is owned by establishment on both sides.
Moral scolding fail.
Carson’s campaign has already conceded the story in his book was false.
This has rino fingerprints all over it. This is friendly fire.
Here's a lie: I went to Cornell University. (I didn't.)
Here's a factual mix-up: I was offered a scholarship to Cornell.
In reality, I talked to the Cornell folks after high school, and was told I was a good candidate for a science scholarship.
It's possible that I could get that a little mixed up later. That's what I think happened with Carson.
The campaign admitted he LIED!! What are we SUPPOSED tobelieve??
Good thing we started out with 25 candidates because the way the wagons are set on fire by our side inside of circling them like the f’ing democrats do we might have a candidate to put up against the Clinton Crime Family. Then again we might not.
I agree. A teenager can be talked to about a full scholarship and take it one way, and the organization not consider it as a FORMAL offer.
So a “fabrication” is also a way of saying a misunderstanding OR a lie....Carson’s character certainly shows him to be a man of high moral fiber.
Politico has never been interested in Obama’s past. Pathetic.
I’d like to know who found this out and why now?
I think this would be quite interesting.
Him asking “If you think I’m a pathological liar...” was just weird! The expression on his face was weird. I’m beginning to think he is way too weird to be considered for President. Surgeon General or head of HHS for sure though.
So why did the Carson campaign play along with it and agree to the premise?
Couldn’t agree more. Rush is blaming the RNC; accuses it of going to Politico and pushing this story. Politico has two A-A heads: Cain and Carson.
BTW, people trying to defend Carson based on the fact that he was a “kid” when the West Point thing happened. I agree. But he wasn’t a “kid” when he wrote his book. As an author who has done both ghost-written and full-credited biographies of public people, you double check and fact your details. For ex., I tell groups, jokingly that I coached an NCAA basketball team. Technically, that’s true: I was a volunteer on a NCAA Div. III (I think it could have been II) college team (U. of Wisconsin-Richland Center) as they needed help. I wasn’t paid, and I never called a play (I did make a suggestion that got an opposing player kicked out of a game). But it’s a good joke line in a speech, but I would never put it in a book without all the qualifiers.
Carson was always a weak candidate. His positions on the issues are poor and he is now talking himself right out the race with the Pyramid grain stuff and the West Point story. He needs to be gone and now that he is finally facing scrutiny this stuff is a killer.
Media Matters, Politico all the Media are faggot LIARS.
As soon as Carson’s poll numbers went up, they released the stories that they had already prepared and were holding for the right moment, to better destroy him.
May the media be damned to hell.
Ok...so catching Carson in a series of lies is smearing him how exactly?
