Politics is a fast-paced and unpredictable game, and sometimes, unfortunate things happen. That's the best way I can describe what occurred on caucus night in Iowa when CNN implied that Ben Carson was dropping out of the Republican race, and the Cruz campaign swiftly alerted caucus-goers that they should consider voting for Ted Cruz instead.
Let's start from the beginning.
Shortly before the Iowa caucus was set to begin, CNN's Jake Tapper reported: ...

Read the transcript or watch the video. Time to move on to the next trump created scandal. You’re only making yourself look like Obama voters when you deny the truth.
LOL. Cruzers like you are only making yourself look like hypocrites suddenly taking what CNN says at face value.
I’m sorry. My intent was in no way to offend you. Please accept this as true.
I was discussing the timeline but because I didnt agree with your assessment you attacked me personally. Doesn’t work and certainly wont make anyone agree with this timeline.
People around here have posted but the media hasn’t reported it. I sent this letter to my friends and family. Not one of them knew about it. I read their is more trash on him but I do not pass on information I haven’t verified and noted that one thing in the letter.
Dear Friends,
I have really prayed about sending this email because I do not ever want to cause a rift in our group and do not want anyone to misunderstand my intent. I have not seen this reported on tv, printed news...but heard about it from another believer, and confirmed by many other.
I wrote this email and waited. I wanted God to show me I was doing the right thing, after all we put our trust in God and not in any man. It is God who allows leaders to rule over us. Good or bad. I got my confirmation in today’s reading of Leviticus.
“If a person sins because he does not speak up when he hears a public charge to testify regarding something he has seen or learned about, he will be held responsible “.
Leviticus 5:1
I wanted everyone to know what I recently learned about one of the republican presidential candidates. I included parts of articles and the link to that article so you can check it yourself. There are other articles by secular sites but chose Christian sites. Unfortunately while investigating the truth on this man I came upon a site that I saw more than I wanted to see of this man’s wife, or more than anyone should see. I will not include that link. Beware, there is truth mixed with lies. I do not want lies to be told about this man, only truth.
I am not endorsing any candidate, only warning of one. If you’re as concerned as I am about the direction this country is going, this man’s leadership will rival Bill Clintons’ personal actions.
There are also political policies I disagree with, but it’s the spiritual damage he will do to our country I am concerned about.
Feel free to be a Berean and double check me, but be cautious about what sites you open.
Love In Christ,
Linda
Remember Obama told people he was a Christian, yet his actions have been very anti-christian.
And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him†but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:3-4
Christianity Today
This sort of political discourse is starting to affect how evangelicals talk about Trump. A notable exception is Russell Moore. He has consistently presented a line of argument—and not just name calling. His major thesis is that Trump is immoral by Christian standards. This is a fact: from Trump’s owning of strip clubs to his bragging about sleeping around to his Nietzsche-esque notions of power. Moore believes that a leader’s moral behavior will affect his leadership, so he argues that no Christian should support a candidate like Trump. This will not convince all Christians, but at least it’s an argument grounded in the fact of Trump’s moral behavior.
Charisma Magazine
“The late Dr. Jerry Falwell Sr. would be rolling over in his grave if he knew the son who bore his name had endorsed the most immoral and ungodly man to ever run for President of the United States,†John Stemberger, president of Florida Family Action, said in a statement Monday. “Trump is a thrice married owner of casing with strip clubs and would give us the first ‘First Lady’ who has proudly posed in the nude while supporting gay marriage and funding Planned Parenthood with taxpayer money.â€
Unique in So Many Ways
Indeed, Trump would be like no president before him.
The first to be married three times, cheating on the first two (and probably the third).
The first whose wife appeared nude in a magazine.
The first to boast of his sexual proclivities, claiming to have had sexual relations with some of the “top women in the world.” (This is who Sarah Palin is supporting?)
He will be the first that has owned casinos with strip clubs.
To proudly proclaim that he will seek revenge against his personal enemies “as viciously and as violently as you can.”
* His wife will be the first first lady that has posed for lesbian porn.
(This I did not verify myself)
And with that last bullet in mind, do you really think for a minute that Trump opposes gay marriage?

Why Donald Trump Threatens to Trump the Gospel
Donald Trump talked about his Christian faith Saturday, but said he’s never sought forgiveness for his sins.
The event is a gathering sponsored by several socially-conservative Christian organizations, including the Family Research Council, a socially conservative lobbying organization; Liberty University, the world’s largest evangelical university; and the National Organization for Marriage, a group established to prevent the legalization of same-sex marriage.
Trump, who told CNN earlier that he is both anti-abortion and anti-same-sex marriage, said people are surprised to learn about his Christian faith.
“People are so shocked when they find ... out I am Protestant. I am Presbyterian. And I go to church and I love God and I love my church,” he said.
Moderator Frank Luntz asked Trump whether he has ever asked God for forgiveness for his actions.
“I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so,” he said. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

Which candidate supports single payer health care?

You continue to promote that LIE????????????????
I watched it myself. Do you think I could create a video using CNN cast? You haven’t watched have you? Obama voters refused to believe the truth about him either.
Where does Marco Rubio fit in all this. Didn’t he tweeted about Ben Carson before Ted Cruz did?
Listen you Cruiser. Anyone trying to promote the idea that he is a man if faith, would have taken the one minute or less it would have taken to contact the Carson people to VERIFY the rumor.
I did hear a couple blogs and Hannity talk about that on the radio...but haven’t been able to track down the source of the story.
Well it likely depends on how hard Cruz goes after Trump. At this point Trump would do better to let Cruz and Rubio go at each other as they are sure to do.
So now the Cruz campaign has to verify every single news story before they pass them onto their staff...Please. Obviously, you want someone else to win.
From your post, sounds like that’s exactly what he should do.
Wow, your friends and family must have a lot of time on their hands to read through all this nonsense.
That's because his pants are still at the dry cleaners.
You’d better do some more praying. I’d suggest you also go back and read the Ten Commandments and apply certain to yourself.
What race? He's just using publicly donated funds for his bookselling tour.
Let’s cut through the nonsense; what you have are Trumpeteers on one bandwagon and RINOs for Rubio on the other that are trying to turn nothing into a scandal to hurt the only real conservative in the contest. Let’s face, Carson’s campaign was crumbling and in a fast moving news cycle his departure to Florida looked like an exit and it isn’t a scandal to tell voters to consider Cruz. The fact is no one who voted in Iowa is saying they would have voted for Carson if only they had not been “tricked.” Sorry Trumpeteers, he didn’t win Iowa big like he claimed and he’s a liberal riding on his talk about immigration and switching his positions faster than John Kerry to dupe conservatives so he can go make deals in Washington. It’ll be just like Rubio in Florida..he opposed amnesty and ran using tea party support only to totally betray them in Washington supporting total amnesty. This is a waste of time and a disteaction.
That's pretty silly. Guilt by pointing?
The ones being taken to the cleaners are Carson’s supporters.
