“Everyone needs to know that Cruz is a lying slime ball.”

What did he lie about? Looks like all his campaign did was report what Carson’s campaign put out. So try again.

Amazing the number of people who believe cnn went with ‘breaking news’ only to let us know that Ben Carson needed a change of clothes. A candidate getting that kind of coverage...dang.

But it is good to see people standing behind Ben. A few months ago another candidate was flat-out lying about him, and I don’t remember his level of support this high on FR...

Hilarious. Trump supporters are doing exactly what they accuse the Cruz campaign of doing. Neither of these recordings says that Carson is dropping out. Yet Trump supporters are posting everywhere that these audio files have the Cruz campaign saying that Carson is dropping out.

They will sue, and they will lose.

And yes politics is a bloodsport, and Cruz and Rubio are sharks, and Carson is a prey fish.

They took chunks out of him, because that’s who they are.

At least Ted Cruz never equated Ben Carson to a child molester.

This is stupid anyway. The media was reporting that Carson was leaving Iowa and skipping NH and SC 15 minutes before any voting took place.

They say he is suspending his campaign.

That is what a candidate does when he leaves the race. See Rand Paul.

He is playing aggressively, I am fine with it. Better than the usual milk toast pub i.e. RINO.

Carson timed his announcement terribly he needs to cowboy up and own HIS screw up.

Rove gives the chronology of how Cruz rigged the election.

I am no fan of Rove, but the facts agree with Mr. Trump and Dr. Carson, even CNN is exonerated.

Cruz is very Nixonesque

No, they say that he is suspending his campaigning not suspending his campaign there’s a difference.

Carson should man up and take responsibility for the poorly worded press release his campaign gave CNN. Carson has run a very poor campaign. He even had a campaign bus drive all over the early primary states when he wasn’t even in the bus or touring the state at all. No wonder his staff is bailing on his bogus campaign.

LOL You’re right. Didn’t Dracula have a ‘transformation’ when daylight came/ ended? Or am I confusing him with the Werewolf?

All day? The posts were 20 mins and maybe 5 posts apart. I can see both threads without scrolling.

It is a new site but I thought there was a thing about duplicate or near-duplicate threads. I may be wrong though, I’m still pretty new here and my understanding is my opinions are 100% invalid because of that.

So, you’re good with aggressive when it’s unethical?

So far, CRuz is making Romney and his his bag of tricks look like a choir boy.

No thanks!

There’s a difference?

Really?

If there is a difference, then why should Carson’s voters consider changing their vote?

Why would a person who is going to vote for Carson be potentially wasting their vote if there is a difference, as you say?
