The fake Ben Carson controversy should end here and now
Steve Deace ^ | February 4, 2016 | Steve Deace

I know there are some of you who are willing to do what it takes to win but you want to make sure you do so with character and integrity. There's a line you don't want to cross. You are fine going up to that line and doing whatever you can that is within bounds but you don't want to cross that line and I am totally with you on that.

I am going to walk you through this faux outrage story regarding Ben Carson and Ted Cruz. I'm going to walk you through a timeline but before I do, I need to make sure you know what life is like at an Iowa Caucus. I'm on Team Cruz. I was one of the precinct captains in one of the larger precincts in Central Iowa...

his is typical leftist tripe, move on, nothing to see here.

I wonder if the Cruz campaign is working on their own cruz.moveon.org site yet?

No amount of evidence will convince Trump supporters that they are buying into a false narrative concerning this alleged Cruz “dirty trick”.

They’re all too blinded by the radiant glory of Lord Trump...that’s in addition to not being able to accept that their pick lost.

Trump supporters on FR have acted on par with DU trolls.

It is so obvious Trump was the victim of voter fraud. No way he loses the Iowa caucus. Not possible.

I learned something beyond the fact that this is a nothing story and Carson is a whiner.

I did not know that Carson had a bus driving everywhere that was all painted up like Carson was in it and he wasn’t.

I don’t think Carson wants to do the hard work of campaigning but he was willing to be a rat on this Cruz thing.

They really have and it is sad.

People here used to be smart.

They (Trumpers) are now acting as unhinged as Trump himself. If they have no logical answer, they just scream stuff like: sleaze, canada (that’s been settled by the way) Goldman Sachs, lawyer.

Very few of them make coherent posts supporting their candidate.

If you are serious, then try to find 5 people in Iowa who would have voted for Trump but didn’t for whatever reason.

You’ve managed to ignore all the stories backing up Dr. Carson, the stories that show that Cruz deliberately went out to 1,500 precinct captains with his lies. The stories that say Cruz only needed 4 votes per precinct to get the numbers he ended up with.

Stay in your little world, reality is a scary thing.

It is much ado about nothing, being gamed against Cruz (by Trump who is jumping with Rubio’s express), indirectly and directly by Rubio.

Here is an interesting bit of investigation timeline as well, with a removed twitter (screen shot on this blog) from a Rubio campaign person:

They are not buying into a false narrative. They are knowingly perpetuating a false narrative.

In 2005, yes. And so did the great majority of conservatives, including those in FR.

Good...Then you prove that Ted Cruz is not a conservative. Thank you for the help.

The Trumpkins won’t even bother to read it. Too bad, because it is the most comprehensive timeline of events that I have seen on the incident. I know the Rubio person had tweeted about them pushing the idea that Carson was dropping out, but I didn’t know that he sent out that tweet 15 minutes before the first CNN tweet came out.

Well he settled ACA on the county. Don’t you think the damage is destroying the Country? I do and Cruz was all about giving John Roberts a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.

You of course, realize that Roberts was blackmailed by Obamaumao’s thugs.... as regards his two Irish adopted children that he adopted through Brazil? Right? His overnight change on his opinion brought the enmity of the other justices on the day of the mandate decision— they were surprised and pissed. Obamaumao is a criminal— along with the clintoonians— this is what they do and have done all along— blackmail.

And, for good measure— assuming an anti-Catholic bent in the Roberts attacks— Roberts left right after the decision— and went to.....a legal meeting in Malta. The Knights of Malta.

And, Cruz— a Southern Baptist— supported Roberts, because they knew each other clerking in the Supreme Court. Cruz clerking for Chief Justice William Rehnquist at the time.

>>He would have if Cruz didn’t cheat.<<

The Rubio camp tweeted the same CNN report an hour before Steve King tweeted it.

It was CNN that reported this, not Cruz.
