Well, he did take his 2nd Amendment stance from the Brady Campaign and bloomberg so it doesn’t give me confidence.

Well, socialists don’t believe in property rights anyway, right?

I’m sure Jeb would like to see this vanity candidate in the early primaries, drawing off a few votes and gumming up the debates.

Hey, where was the press when Putting People First: How We Can All Change America did not include a single footnote, at least that I can recall.

Good to get this out now, rather than in the midst of a presidential campaign.

Another reason why I think the presidency should not be the first elective office a person should run for.

I don't condone plagiarism.

I do, however, wonder if the Community Organizer in Chief's book was as thoroughly examined.

So—the savaging of Carson begins—because he is an eligible candidate for 2016.

Wonder if this is from the Dems, or is it “friendly fire” from the Bushies?

He “footnoted his plagiarism”? HUH??? Are we sure this is Andrew Kaczynski and not Ted?

“...I do, however, wonder if the Community Organizer in Chief’s book was as thoroughly examined. ..”

Evidently not.

Heck, even the first page that said that Dorkbama was from Kenya has been forgotten.

Sorry, but I’d take Dr Carson over ANY liberal ANY day.

A third option- let's scrutinize our own candidates before the opposition. If any of us can find it you know the other side will.

IMHO that is what primaries are for; if Caron, or Cruz or whomever has any vulnerability tat the Bush machine can find and use then you know that it will be used against them at the most strategically opportune time in the main event (not that we don't do the same thing as well we should).

Just like the dems dodged a bullet when John Edwards blew up in the primaries; if he'd won the primary and then got hit with that scandal two days before election day VP Palin would be on her second term, perhaps.

“He “footnoted his plagiarism”? HUH???”

Exactly. At first glance (and admittedly I have not looked at this in any detail) this seems to be much ado about nothing. If it’s attributed, it’s attributed. Yes, if verbatim he should use quotes, but it’s not like he was passing off this stuff as his original ideas. IMHO.
