Can’t see how its so hard to decide.

Most of them are GOPe. Only Cruz, Trump, and Carson are not.

That really leaves only Cruz. Trump is a total phony, and Carson has no idea what he is doing.

This isn’t about birthright; its about allegiance.

Out of the whole group, Cruz has the greatest allegiance.

End of story.

Its not that I disagree with anything important. Its just that all the grousing about MSM output distracts from what is important.

They have been propagandists for way longer than any of us have been alive. The Sun also rises.

Would you like to discuss tidal fluction too?

We have work to do.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that?

When people are so dead set against smearing the best conservative candidate in the race, it's amazing what they will refuse to see.

I prefer Cruz for governance and Trump for exposing the hostage political-media complex (specifically the coup of 2008). Which does America need more? We need both. We must have both.

That’s why it bugs me that people get so into their preferred candidate and trash everybody else. We need all of these people, in their proper roles where they can be most effective. Which is the bigger priority for a POTUS when we’ve just had 7 years under a Foreign Enemy Combatant who placed into our White House by the coup of his Islamist-communist alliance puppet-masters?

Truth is, I don’t think it’s going to matter either way unless somebody pulls their head out of their rear end and forces Congress to move our portable radar system to where it can cover the hole in our southern-facing radar. Obama has been working the past 7 years to strengthen our communist and Islamist enemies and to weaken and make the USA more and more vulnerable. He said in July of 2008 that he would be POTUS for “the next 8 to 10 years” and everything is in place for an EMP attack, possibly during November and December when he is gloating with his communist pals. Such an attack would create so much chaos that an inauguration could not take place, and the sleeper cells could take down the state governments and attack the feds, with Obama’s help, before order could be restored and an inauguration take place.

I think all the candidates need to realize that the biggest obstacle to ANYBODY replacing Obama is the vulnerable situation he’s deliberately put us in. If we don’t deal with it by November, the election will be wasted time.

does anyone really think Carson was flying 1,500 miles for a change of underwear?

Cruz is way better on both.

He knows the ropes, and where the skeletons are buried, Trump hasn’t a clue, but for what he has gotten from watching Cruz.

I discussed 2 aspects of one story. As an aside I said I did not understand the recent vitriol against FOX compared to CNN’s history. A sidebar remark, if you will.

I don't whine about media bias. Quite the opposite. Bias comes with a Free Press. I am more than willing to pay that price. But it doesn't mean I won't discuss MSM if it is relevant to the subject at hand. In this story, it was relevant.

This link also courtesy of “the great one” LucyT

http://www.impulsetoday.com/breaking-ted-cruzs-pr-guy-who-slanders-trump-for-carson-lie-is-founder-of-shilling-company/

Dan Gabriel is the founder of Applied Memetics, LLC and also happens to be an ex-CIA counter terrorism officer. His company has been hired by the US Army in the past, and has ties to George Soros, although somewhat distant. It’s completely obvious at this point that Cruz’s campaign is using dirty, underhanded tricks to undermine Trump’s campaign. This is probably the start of a large online smear campaign funded by Cruz’s campaign.

Click here for an archived article about it.

“Applied Memetics IP address also runs on same server as Hungarian NGO business type of company that just happens to have Soros and other shady characters on the board of members. There is also a ‘national security’ provider tied to US gov that uses same telephone number as applied memetics.”

The company specializes in SIGINT, online shilling, and what might be called propaganda. Gabriel was the one who pushed the angle that Carson was dropping out. After being caught the agent deleted the tweets and denied everything. However, other twitter users took a screen-shot and saved his tweets and their exchange.

Just so there is no mistake Cruz’s supporters were telling people that Carson had quit on Monday long before the cnn report....

“Low blow: Cruz (above on Tuesday in South Carolina) has admitted that he and his supporters told Iowa voters that Ben Carson had dropped out of the race on Monday”

Obviously you didn’t watch the clip of what the CNN reporters (and I use the term reporters loosely) said, so let’s take a look at it.

Guy Reporter: Dr. Ben Carson...what have we learned?

Woman Reporter: We should say our Chris Moody is breaking this...that Ben Carson is going to go back to Florida to his home regardless of how he does tonight here in Iowa. He’s going to go there for several days and then afterwards he’s not going to go to So. Carolina, he’s not going to go to New Hampshire, he’s going to come to Wash. D.C. and he’s going to do that because the National Prayer Breakfast is on Thurs. If you have been following Ben Carson’s career you know that that’s where he got himself on the political map. Attending that prayer breakfast and really giving it to president obama at the time.....and he became kind of a hero among conservatives and evangelicals especially.

(So where in there does it say he is quitting? Do you see it? No, because it’s not there. Let’s move on...)

GR: But it’s very unusual.

WR: Very unusual.

GR: To be announcing that you’re going home to rest for a few day....not going on to the next site..plus he’s already announced that he’ll be coming out and speaking at 9:15 local and 10:15 eastern no matter whether or not we know the results ..uh....because he wants to get home and get ahead of the storm.

(Do you see anywhere in that, that indicates he’s quitting. No, I thought not because again, it’s not there. Let’s move on.)

WR: Look if you want to be president of the United States...you don’t go home to Florida. Why...I mean that’s just the bottom line, end of story. You want to signal to your supporters that you want it...that you’re hungry for it and that if you want them to get out and campaign...you’ve got to be out there doing it too. It’s very unusual.

GR: Very unusual news that CNN has just learned and Chris Moody is breaking this story...Wolf back to you in Wash.

Wolf: Very significant news indeed guys.

(Did you read anywhere in that, where Dr. Carson was quitting? No. That was nothing but a couple of idiot CNN pundits giving THEIR analysis of what THEY think a candidate should do.)

So yes. It was deceptive and he has had to come out and apologize. Very hollow apology now that the deed has been done and he stole votes from Carson. So now we’ll never know what the true results would have been so all he managed to do was gain a hollow victory. I don’t think he’s ‘cruzing’ higher with this stunt. He looks like a typical politician and a dimocrat one to boot.

Nice transcript there. Here's the initial tweet I guess.

I don't see anything about quitting here either.

Me either. Steve King needs to be fired and if he isn’t then Cruz’s character spins down the drain.

The best and most honest assessment I’ve yet seen on this thread.
