I’m content with the answers
expressed by the Carson campaign
to dodgy claims made by a
specious organization like
Politico. What bothers me is
the number of FReepers who are
willing to buy into a left wing
media attack on a GOP candidate
who is not theirs. When the long
knives come out for their man
they will be discrediting the
source with both barrels blazing
I’m reading more than Politico. I’m reading the WSJ article, reading segments or quotes from his book, listening to his own words from video.
I’m not yet satisfied with his explanations and will hope for the same careful vetting of ALL candidates. While I applauded his attack on the press for their lack of vetting for Obama, for me, it seemed more like Carson was trying to redirect their questions to someone else. I found myself wondering if he expected to get the same pass from the press that Obama got.
I just want the truth from all the candidates, regardless of where it leads. The person we elect is going to have the weighty job of leading the nation and I want that person to be up to the job, to be honest and forthright with our nation. It’s sad to see what the lack of proper vetting gave us last time. As painful as it may be, we need the truth, come what may.
