“I will not be tricked into supporting Carson over Trump.”
Me neither. I was never a supporter, but it is interesting to see hoards of apparently lesser-intelligent FReepers who never supported Ben before suddenly rallying around him just because the media is taking him down based on opponents secretly exposing Ben’s lies and BS.
It is indeed a sucker play to support a liar like this guy, especially one in which there are no doubt lots of other shoes getting ready to drop.
And quite frankly, it’s a good thing to see Ben taken out this early. The usual modus operandi of the Democrat-PAC media is to build up a candidate with hidden feet of clay (think Herman Caine), and then chop their knees out from under them at the very end in order to destroy the GOP. I’m delighted to see this process accelerated and the Trojan horses burned early in the game.
And I do sense that Donald’s hand is on the hidden sword that’s chopping Carson down right now. Donald’s a smart and ruthless guy, and it’s far cheaper for Trump to get the media to crucify Ben instead of paying for a bunch of negative TV ads. I mean really, no one really believes that it’s all just a big coincidence Carson is being slaughtered in the media like this just as he was supposedly rising in the polls above Trump, do we?
For me, it comes down to whether or not Carson has told the truth. I don’t care who exposed it, but the truth needs to come out. If Carson has not been honest, then that’s on him and not those who exposed it. If Carson can be proven to have been telling the truth, then it will rebound on those who were naysayers. Either way, the guy has opened himself to scrutiny by what he said and given that he’s in a presidential race, he’s got to expect that. Just attacking the mainstream media for covering the story is not going to work here, especially not when he is shown in video and in print saying things that are now open to question.
I’ve never been a Carson supporter though I had thought him a decent man, just not up to the job of being President. Now I’m having second thoughts about him on many levels. If he’s open to exaggeration or prevarication, then he’s not trustworthy.
I don’t know what is worse a GOPe candidate or so-called
conservatives who are thrilled when the MSM takes out
somebody with an (R) behind their name.
Trump and the media working hand in glove??
