The Republican Party establishment will be jumping to Ben Carsonâs defense this week. So will a few Democrats and a few media people. They would all love to see Carson as the Republican nominee because they know he would lose massively to their favorite felon Hillary Clinton. Jumping to support Carson plays right into the hands of those who want to see her as the next president.
It is all so simple.
The Democrat controlled media hates Republicans and hates Black so-called conservative Republicans even more. Such people destroy their lies and make them look like the frauds they are.
It is precisely for this reason that it is not tactically wise to rally around Carson now that he is undergoing the mediaâs anal examination that was to be expected as he began to rise up the polls.
A dispassionate review of what Carson brings to the table, his lack of substantive ideas at best, bad ideas and crazy beliefs at worst, makes him the best hope the media has of electing their favorite felon.
ââ¦.Herman Cain destroyed by outright lies made up by Chicago thugs. They killed his chances of advancing and stopping Barack Obama. That got us an empty suit named Mitt Romney who ran a halfhearted campaign and lost. America cannot survive another Democrat president.
Our future is on the line in this next election. If we choose to use our nomination as an exercise in breast beating piety and nominate Carson to prove we hate the media but not Black people, we will be making a tragic mistake.
Carson would be eviscerated by savagely bias media who will use his own words against him. They will not have to make things up.

But here is the LIBERAL MEDIA once again giving us the half truth. Yes, Carson was not offered an OFFICIAL scholarship. But he was sort of promised one by Westmoreland. If the top general in the army said he'd get you into West Point, wouldn't you see how you could take that as being offered a scholarship/appointment?
That, of course, was never explained by the media. That is what they do to conservatives. Either not tell the story or only give the half of it.

I’m content with the answers
expressed by the Carson campaign
to dodgy claims made by a
specious organization like
Politico. What bothers me is
the number of FReepers who are
willing to buy into a left wing
media attack on a GOP candidate
who is not theirs. When the long
knives come out for their man
they will be discrediting the
source with both barrels blazing

That's what I keep sayin' ... and WHY I've predicted that Ben Carson will be polling single digits by Christmas 2015 ...
Nice guy ... but certainly a lousy "Conservative" ...
The thought just occurred to me, if the GOPe-Bush-Rubio-Kasisch-RINO-Hillary crowd wanted to "coerce-shame" the Republican Conservative candidates (Ted, Cruz, Donald Trump) ...
to support:
1) Citizenship for 15 million illegal Mexican immigrants
2) Soft on Second Amendment gun rights
3) Becoming "best friends" with Al Sharpton and the Black Lives Matter movement
4) Puerto Rico statehood (two automatics Democratic Senators for the next 100 years)
5) SPLIT the Tea Party Christian Evangelical vote 35/35/35 between Ted Cruz / Huckabee / Ben Carson
6) "Stealth Engagement" of the Democratic Party LGBT folks to "severely disrupt" the GOP Presidential Primaries to HELP Yeb Bush and Marco Rubio
... what better way than to "plant-fund" and inflate polling data for a WONDERFUL ...
(no criticism allowed) Black Medical Doctor (with a very big ego) ?
Would such a plan even be imagined ? "Nope"
Would such a plan even be possible ? "Nope"
Would such a plan even be planned and executed ? "Nope"
Would such a plan include a Hollywood Movie ("Gifted Hands") promoting (years in advance) the "compassionate Savior" of the Republican Party ? "Nope"

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.

“Trump and the media working hand in glove??”
Sneakily. Trump operatives release the dirt to minor sites like buzzfeed, and within minutes social media have a gazillion pointers to it, and a few minutes later the main stream media news trawlers who constantly fish for news on the internet find the story and then blow it up nationally.
It’s no longer necessary to release anything important directly to the big boys. It almost doesn’t matter now who first breaks the news. To paraphrase vomit-inducing meme from the left, the whole internet is a village. I’ve used the technique myself quite successfully.

And how do we know that?How do you know he didn't. His backers assume he's telling the truth, his haters assume he's lying. If we have to doubt him, why should we not doubt his haters?
If you said you met with some important person many years ago, and he or she promised you something, should we assume you're lying? Get what I mean?
