Its sad that Rush had to spend so much time today cleaning up a mess that Ben Carson created ..... I believe that Ben Carson has been coddled so long that he thinks “rules are for other folks” ... Just like Juan McCain believed ...

You are incorrect in that assertion. Promote your candidate with all the exaggerations and lies you wish, but stop trashing other Republican contenders without knowing the facts, and clearly, you do not know.

I say this as a Trump supporter. I hope Trump issues an apology.

My brother went to West Point in 1971. No one pays to go there (except with promised years of service after graduation), so Carson’s saying he was offered a full scholarship didn’t ring true. I don’t know if it’s the same way now, but back then, each Congressman got to nominate two candidates. I’m not sure about this, but I think people whose parent or grandparent had gone to West Point could also apply. I could see Westmoreland encouraging Carson to apply, but I can’t imagine him telling Carson it would be easy for him to get in.

That isn’t the case, Patton.

Carson didn’t do this, Politico smeared him.

I don’t support Carson at all, but I think Rush was right to defend him from such an attack.

If a candidate is to be taken down, then let him be taken down on his positions, not on some manufactured false scandal.

Dr. Carson didn't make a mess...Politico and the media did their Conservative drop-kick on him....you need to research exactly what he said.
