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.
I, too, want the the truth. And, while the candidates are
being vetted I’m left wondering just who is vetting the
vetters. The WSJ ed page is pretty OK. The reporters
maybe not so much. As important as the vetting is Ben,
Donald, and Carly are still unknown. I am not sure if
any of them would be the conservative I am hoping for.
I think there is a huge number of Democrats who have lost
it for Obama and dont like Clinton. A number of them
could be brought into to the light. But I fear Carson
and, especially, Trump could become a populist as
president. I see little that ties either of them to
conservatism. I don’t feel that way about Cruz.
