Too late. The usual suspects have moved on to another bogus ‘Cruz is satan’ charge.
Wow, what a adventure in twisted logic. Cruz lies, but Carson is wrong to complain about it because (supposedly) he didn’t complain about Trump’s remarks (I remember him complaining a lot about it). And because after spending months campaigning in Iowa he chose to spend a night at home before going to NH, he “should be disqualified from running for office due to incompetency”. Meanwhile Cruz’ dirty tricks and lies get a pass. Just amazing.
Amen! Is there a Cruz 2016 ping list?
Then people began to tell him he needed to run for president, and I verbally said to myself, ''Dr, Carson, do you really want to do that to yourself? They will not be kind to your gentle nature. Do you really want to do this?''
But, of course he didn't hear me.
I have hated the way he was treated by Trump comparing him to a pedophile. Just awful.
I have seen other good people try to enter politics, really good people, only to have their characters trashed. And, this was done by small town members of the GOPe, not the media.
If you are running for office today it takes nerves of steel and a record of defending those things we have always held dear and are written in our Founding documents.
Dr. Carson is a good, good man. It is too bad he didn't hear me.
Too bad, I would have liked to have seen him as vp.
The article says “enough is enough”
Well not quite.....this will be debated tonight. Cruz better be ready for some serious reconciliation and not in an arrogant way. Or that 7 percent might even go lower.
Which raises the question: How does this idiot talk about people he doesn't admire?
EXCERPT The Iowa secretary of state was mostly concerned that Cruz’s campaign mailers appeared partially disguised to look like an official communication from the state government.
After looking at several mailers posted online, I was more curious about how the Cruz campaign came up with its scores. On all the mailers I saw, every voter listed had only one of three possible scores: fifty-five per cent, sixty-five per cent, or seventy-five per cent, which translate to F, D, and C grades, respectively. Iowans take voting pretty seriously.
Why was it that nobody had a higher grade.
Although Iowa voter-registration information is free and available to the public, voter history is not. That information is maintained by the Iowa secretary of state, who licenses it to campaigns, super PACs, polling firms, and any other entity that might want it.
So was the Cruz campaign accurately portraying the voter histories of Iowans? Or did it simply make up the numbers?
It seems to have made them up. Dave Peterson, a political scientist at Iowa State University who is well-acquainted with the research on “social pressure†turnout techniques, received a mailer last week. The Cruz campaign pegged his voting percentage at fifty-five per cent, which seems to be the most common score that the campaign gives out.
(All of the neighbors listed on Peterson’s mailer also received a score of fifty-five per cent.) Peterson, who is actually a Hillary Clinton supporter, moved to Iowa in 2009. He told me that he has voted in three out of the last three general elections and in two out of the last three primaries.
“There are other people listed on my mailer who live in my neighborhood that are all different ages, but everyone on this sheet has the same score of fifty-five per cent,†he said. “Some are significantly younger and would have not been eligible to vote in these elections, and others are older and have voted consistently, going back years. There is no way to get to us all having the same score.†(Peterson also spoke with Mother Jones.)
If the Cruz campaign based its score on local elections, Peterson said, the number also wouldn’t make sense, based on his participation in those elections as well. A source with access to the Iowa voter file told me that he checked several other names on Cruz mailers and that the voting histories of those individuals did not match the scores that the Cruz campaign assigned them in the mailer. ---SNIP--

One thing he did learn from strump, is how to play the media...he knows there is nothing to it, but they too must protect the black boy.
Shame on Carson, shame, shame. Article is correct, Cruz apologized (even thought he did no wrong) which usually is the end of any misunderstanding, but no. Carson knows he can carry this on forever by insulting Cruz further and Cruz will never respond in like because Carson is the Black boy.
The bottom line of Carson's campaign now is I'm the black boy you can't touch me.
I think Cruz turns this to his advantage tonite.
What Cruz’s campaign did was wrong and someone should be fired. Carson is overplaying it and has lost credibility.
He could have used Obama Admin lying about IRS, Obama admin lying about Fast and Furious or any of the other lies this Administration has perpetrated against America. He could have used Hillary lying about her server....but no, he had to try to use Benghazi.
Horowitz’s article lost me with the first sentence. I don’t don’t respect ad hominem attacks.
What gives? the answer is campaign advisors. Carson had 3 types of advisors:
1. The money raisers who told him what to say and do to raise money. They raised a lot of money and kept a big chunk for themselves.
2. Armstrong Williams, Carson’s close friend of many years and a reliable conservative; but also a unique personality.
3. Traditional campaign staff.
There was friction between the 3 groups. Many of group #1 and group #3 quit.
The result was that Carson now depends more than any canidate should on one advisor who is a good person, but not suited for the massive task Carson faces.
That Carson could not more effectively choose and manage his staff is a measure of his readiness to be President.
The single most important job of a President is in choosing the right staff and keeping them going in the same direction.
What is Horrorwitz squawking about? Teddy got away with it he should be happy.
Reagan said something to the effect that Republicans should not speak ill of one another, obviously that’s out the window. The current slate of Republican candidates would do well to revisit that sage advice and put the well being of the Republic (such as it is) over the ever expanding power of the Federal government.
God help us all if we don’t correct this situation.
If anybody wants to find out the truth about Dr. Carson, you need to study the church he attends.
I mean, you need to look up the name of the religion his church preaches, and see what they teach.
If you are willing to do that, you will find the answers to Carson’s actions, and you’ll see what he believes about other Christians; like Cruz.
