The MSM is having a field day with this because it takes the heat off of Clinton and what she did to win.

If you wish to get into a discussion of Islam we can do that. From what I have studied, Islam is far more than a religion—in addition to being a religion, it is a political system, an economic system, and a social system. Look at Dr. Warner’s videos on You Tube if you wish to learn more.

That said, in a business meeting or whatever, I am not going to attack the faith of anyone—be they Muslim or Hindu or whatever because I don’t like their ideas or thoughts or feelings....I am going to debate them on the merit of their ideas, etc.

However, If a Muslim wishes to interject their faith into the debate, that is a whole different story—but neither Greta nor Dr. Carson said they were upset because they are a Scientologist or a Seventh Day Adventist. Hope I made the difference clear.

Yes, I would agree with you, but I would add that in addition to the MSM, I would add Fox, Limbaugh, Levin and probably others to the list.

Heat is being taken off many issues, but that is the nature of a primary.

Oh and I thought the 6 consecutive coin-toss wins by Hillary campaign workers was disgusting—not to mention the double counted and missing ballots and phoned in caucuses...So she is not getting a pass by me!!! :(

Just curious did anyone who commented on this thread even watch the video I posted?

Bonus points for anyone who watched mine and the second one imbedded in post 7.

I did not say it well, but, you did. In my defense I had just paid some bills and I might have been distracted by the shock of the cost of living today.

I'm sure I'll sound like a Carson "hater".

I'm not.

I have much respect for him as a human being, and a great, honorable man.

But, (you knew that was coming) who would really announce that he was flying home to Florida to get a fresh set of clothes and not travel to NH and SC right in the middle of the first, tone-setting caucus in Iowa?

Is that a euphemism for something?

Obviously, it'd be cheaper, faster, and less rumor-provoking to just go buy clothes locally.

It reminds me of McCain saying he was "suspending his campaign to help save the economy" in 2008; a really misguided announcement that spurred speculation and showed a total lack of campaign-competence.

I'm sorry if it hurt his campaign, but his protestations sound to me like the same type of "poor losership" as is coming from Trump.

Carson really must be sore at Cruz after Carson's paid campaign staff members defected to volunteer positions in Cruz's campaign. I'm sure that colors his perception of his loss in Iowa.

Nope. I was watching paint dry. It's more educational than watching the Scientologist.

Cheatgate is a tar baby that Ted will not get un-stuck from.

Cruz supporters are barking into the wind if they think he’ll ever remove this from around his neck. It’s the kind of thing that is so big, it winds up defining a person for life.

Look at what a stupid little break-in of a rival’s campaign office did to Richard Nixon. Watergate may as well be his epitaph.

That's one big carbon footprint for a change of underwear.

Did he pay his fair share carbon tax?

NOt sure why we keep returning to Scientology—the interview is not about Greta or Scientology....It is about Dr. Carson and his input, reaction, etc. Not Scientology....

If Cruz is knocked out of the race, Rubio will be a shoe in for the nomination.

be careful what you wish for. You just might get it.

This whole issue is a joke. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger tempest in a smaller teapot.

Cruz and supporters to Carson:
“Put some ice on it”

Carson called himself pathological. Carson wrote, “I had what I can only label a pathological temper—a disease—and this sickness controlled me, making me totally irrational. . . . Totally without thinking, when my anger was aroused, I grabbed the nearest brick, rock, or stick to bash someone.”

So, you think it was a “verbal slight” for Trump’s interpretation of Carson’s words? Explain.

Scientology is a dangerous mind control cult.

There's the cult, then there's the philosophy. They are not one and the same thing.

The former has some actual value, while any sane person should run from the latter.

"One Corinthian and one Scientologist walk into a bar...."

Don't tease me! I want the entire joke. Every word of it!
