Just a thought. Instead of piling on Ben Carson for an obvious hit piece, try putting the focus on a fraudulent media. Rush is.

Rush has a graphic posted on his wall that is quite illustrative.

That sounds easy, and it is. But some would rather be complicit in the media's quest to choose the Republican nominee. Others are just so soft-headed they couldn't help it.

West Point used to run ads touting full scholarships.

... maybe we, instead, should pile on him for supporting TPP and amnesty and gun control.

Just a thought.

Carson lied, what’s the problem with that?

The fact that the media is all over this guy is a reason to actually like him.

The fraudulent media is now trying to generate "sympathy votes" for poor, picked upon Ben just like they did for poor, picked upon Shrillary!

“Because I had done so extraordinarily well you know I was told that someone like me [could] get a scholarship to West Point,” Carson told the New York Times. “It was, you know, an informal ‘with a record like yours we could easily get you a scholarship to West Point.’”

However, there’s no such thing as an “informal offer” (or even a “full scholarhip”): an application to West Point begins with a nomination by a member of Congress or another prominent government or military official, Ben,and don’t you know that only a Democrat like Hillary can get out of one lie by telling another lie, but that never works for a Republican? It’s part of the double standard imposed by the Democrat-PAC Media.

Oh and you don’t suppose Donald’s hand is on the invisible sword that’s hacking Carson to pieces right now, do you? Trump didn’t get rich by wasting money unnecessarily: hoisting Carson on his own petard and letting the media crucify him for free is WAY cheaper than paying for a bunch of TV ads. (BTW, we haven’t seen the end of the Carson Revelations yet. I predict there’s more to come.)

And it’s pretty clear the Democrat Super-PAC media were building up Carson and Fiorina as GOP heroes, hoping they’d be juicy targets down the road to chop to pieces like they did with Herman Caine, etc. Looks like Trump is beating them to the punch before media-heroes Carson and Fiorina could do much damage to the GOP with their lies and wackiness.

Read the second to the last page on the West Point prospectus at

http://www.westpoint.edu/admissions/shared%20documents/wp_prospectus.pdf

IT STATES:

ADMISSIONS DECISIONS

West Point has a rolling admissions policy. Outstanding, qualified, nominated candidates will be offered admission as their records become complete. All admissions files must be complete, to include nominations, by the last workday in February.

Financial and Service Obligation

As a cadet, you are a member of the U.S. Army and receive a full scholarship and an annual salary of more than $10,000 from which you pay for your uniforms, textbooks, a laptop computer, and incidentals. There is no tuition charge, but there is a requirement for an initial deposit. Room, board, and medical and dental care are provided by the United States Government.

Did Hillary apply for the Marines? For the Army? Zigzag to dodge sniper bullets? Delete 30,000 emails on yoga and Chelsea's wedding?

Carson probably qualified for a number of fields and enjoyed offers thereto.

Roger Stone might plant such a slander, he the "former" Trump advisor.

Be that as it may (Be still, Ghost of Herman Cain) it is well to know the fairies and harpies of media will ignore the log in their candidate's eye while harping on the speck in our candidate's.

On policy, Carson is for TPP and against guns. He was foisted on us as a poisoned apple.

I like the wild look of yon Trump, our enemy's flesh in his teeth.

Honestly, I woke up this morning expecting the headlines on how the Politico offices were smoldering ruins today. Disappointing...

Dr. Ben Carson ... QUIT PLAYING EGO GAMES ... and ACT like you're "Presidential Material".



Under "normal" circumstances with "decent" people and a "moral news media" Congress and the Senate would be filled with 535 "Dr. Ben Carson" types.

That would be a good thing.

But that's not reality.



Dr. Ben Carson (once he accomplished his first surgeries) has been "coddled" ... for both his accomplishments and because he's black ... sorry, that's the TRUTH ...

so Dr. Ben Carson has been wandering around saying whatever he wants, whatever comes into his mind, "whatever" ...

and that is NOT how a 2016 U.S. Presidential Campaign is successfully operated.

Period.



This whole "Mannatech, Westpoint and Pyramids" sequence should be a DAMNED wake-up call for what I suspect is an arrogant (I'm the smartest guy in the room) Dr. Ben Carson.

Being U.S. President is NOT about a person's ego ...

Rather, it's like being a U.S. Marine Sniper at Falujia ... where EVERY shot MUST be a "kill" ...

or your buddies DIE.


Dr. Ben Carson ... QUIT PLAYING EGO GAMES ... and ACT like you're "Presidential Material".
