Rallying around Carson is exactly the sucker’s play GOPe and media want to see

The Republican Party establishment will be jumping to Ben Carson’s defense this week. So will a few Democrats and a few media people. They would all love to see Carson as the Republican nominee because they know he would lose massively to their favorite felon Hillary Clinton. Jumping to support Carson plays right into the hands of those who want to see her as the next president.

It is all so simple.

The Democrat controlled media hates Republicans and hates Black so-called conservative Republicans even more. Such people destroy their lies and make them look like the frauds they are.

It is precisely for this reason that it is not tactically wise to rally around Carson now that he is undergoing the media’s anal examination that was to be expected as he began to rise up the polls.

A dispassionate review of what Carson brings to the table, his lack of substantive ideas at best, bad ideas and crazy beliefs at worst, makes him the best hope the media has of electing their favorite felon.

“….Herman Cain destroyed by outright lies made up by Chicago thugs. They killed his chances of advancing and stopping Barack Obama. That got us an empty suit named Mitt Romney who ran a halfhearted campaign and lost. America cannot survive another Democrat president.

Our future is on the line in this next election. If we choose to use our nomination as an exercise in breast beating piety and nominate Carson to prove we hate the media but not Black people, we will be making a tragic mistake.

Carson would be eviscerated by savagely bias media who will use his own words against him. They will not have to make things up.

“ cartoons of him standing in front of a pyramid..”

I’ll be damned if I join the Leftist Media in this despicable hatchet job on a good and decent man, Ben Carson. He may not be my number one choice for president but this coordinated Media assault and so-called “conservative” bashing of Carson is beyond the pale.

The ‘Rat Party must be laughing its ass off.

“He is a gaffe machine who may be having a problem with fabricating his life story...”

GOOD QUESTION. What else is lurking on Carson. I don’t think the media would be pumping him to this extent if they didn’t think they could clear him out for Hillary. They DEFINITELY know they have a problem with Trump, as nothing seems to stick to him at all.

I could have added to that, I believe that Carson is not beyond allowing himself to be used. At this point it can be observed the SYMPATHY voters are at his defense and are willing to do their part to promote him. As planned by all who suggested he run.

He also knows this because of all the beforehand use of AA.

I listened to him on Hannity yesterday, he was not very concise in his responses, seemed very vague and allowed Hannity to shape & control the narrative to what Hannity wanted to believe and Carson allowed it. Was anything settled in that show, no it wasn't, but it did defiantly inspire the Sympathy voters.

Do we now support a naive (by commission or omission) person to become President? Stop and consider what is at stake as President of the United States, it is not brain surgery.

The sharks are out for blood now, they will be combing every part of his life story from this point out. It pisses me off because there is such a double standard - they never vetted Obama or any liberal politician. But when you run as a conservative this is the scrutiny you face, unfortunately if a candidate can’t take the heat they should get out of the kitchen.

Aside from Carson lacking the necessary skill set for the job, what troubles me is that he has made misleading statements or offered stories that he has either told multiple ways or that can’t or won’t be corroborated by anybody. If my close family member had wanted me to verify a story that included me, I’d do so, assuming that the tale was true. That Carson expects us to accept his stories, however varied they are, or difficult to verify, based solely on what he says is ridiculous.

I won’t vote for him.

If Ben Carson were NOT black he would have never been a POTUS contender...am I a racist for saying that? No

You are absolutely not being racist. It's the same thing that happened with Obama first gaining traction then having the opposition back off from criticizing him in the campaign. What often happens is that people who are racist over-compensate by pandering to blacks. They don't feel blacks can stand up to the same scrutiny they'd use for whites. That's what's racist, the lower expectations. The result is we don't get the best black candidates, because they're held to a lower standard.

Did you notice how those defending Dr. Carson are using the race card? They're saying the media is out to get him because he's a black conservative. They should be out to get him, because Dr. Carson has a tenuous relationship with accuracy.

I’m with ya. WTF is the matter with Conservatives? One of the reasons why we lose so badlly to the statists is because so many Conservatives get fooled into playing their game. You would think most Conservatives would know better by now..jeeze

>> If they, the media, can do that to Carson, they can and will do it all conservatives <<

First they came for Christie over Bridgegate, but I didn’t mind because I was not in New Jersey.

Then they came for Fiorina over her HP leadership, but I didn’t care because I never held HP stock.

Then they came for Jeb Bush over his brother’s presidency, but I didn’t care because that presidency was so long ago.

Then they came for Carson over his West Point story, but I didn’t care because I don’t think Carson is qualified to be POTUS.

Then they came for Trump over his sleazy career and personal history, but I didn’t care because I thought Trump could never beat Hilary.

Then Ted Cruz rose to the top of the heap and won the nomination. So the MSM came after him with a vengeance never before seen in the modern political age. As a result, Cruz lost to Hilary.

>>I think his insistence on having had murderous thoughts and corresponding actions as a teenager is creepy. For example, if I were wooing a girl, I would hide that to keep her from running from me. How is it that that is a plus when running for president and trying to woo the nation?<<

I’ve noticed that some fellow Christians are like this, and I have mixed feelings about it. To some people, it’s a contest of who was worse before giving themselves over to the Lord. While I think some people simply share their stories earnestly to prove that anyone truly can be saved, there are the Carson types who will just exaggerate, embellish, and outright lie, as if the worse you are before your conversion, the “better” Christian you are after finding Christ. It’s a game of bragging and one-upping each other for some of these people. I’m glad they’ve managed to find salvation, but I wish they’d be mature enough to realize the you don’t gain more “experience points” for having been the worst scumbag in the world before coming to the Lord. A person who has always walked the straight and narrow is just as saved as a murdered, so long as they both know that Jesus is Lord.

It’s one of the things that really bothers me the most about Carson. He doesn’t seem to have much in the way of moral fiber if he can’t refrain from lying about stupid stuff.

I don't know why everyone is in such an outraged tizzy to defend a man who was not being truthful

It isn't everyone. It's the puppet masters and the posters they send here who want to keep Dr. Carson in the race. When Dr. Carson goes, Trump gets a boost. With Dr. Carson still in there, Jeb hangs on to disgust us another day. Meanwhile, they're scheming for a "Plan B" if they can't force-feed us Jeb. Dr. Carson buys them time.

Hillary Said She Tried To Join The Marines. There's No Evidence. The Media Never Checked It Out.

I don’t like him. I don’t trust him and think he’s a little whacked out. But he was exemplary in his field.

I believe the event he attended where he was supposedly dined with Westmoreland, would have been beyond even beginning the process for attending West Point.

We were told the first stop was your state senators.
