Can Carson fight back like Trump? Stay tuned.

TRUMP: Hey, they filed bankruptcy too. So what if I was just gaming the system?
CARSON: Hey they did fetal tissue reaseach using aborted babies too! So what if I did also? It’s legal.
ME: Puke. Both arguments are weak, lame and show no conviction for doing the right thing.
I seriously doubt the large majority of Americans are against researching ANY type of tissue provided it is obtained ethically and legally, which is the case here. You don't like it, but I'm betting that is a very significant majority opinion. And the whole PP video thing has not caught on because so far none of the women has made it about the stolen money---that PP defrauded them by saying they were donating the tissue instead of selling it. No matter how distasteful it may be to you, THAT argument in a class action suit will likely be the successful argument that stops profiting from abortions, and when you take the profit out, you go a very long way to closing it down.
I didn't see anything in the post about Carson using fetal tissue from abortions. The claim is just that he used fetal tissue for research. If that tissue came from miscarriages, etc., then that it very different from what PP is doing.
I also see that the claim is this occurred 23 years ago. I don't know if Carson was pro-life or conservative back then. If he wasn't, I'd want to know more about how he changed his position on abortion, when and why, before making a judgment.
Let's see what his response to this is before jumping all over him.
Being unrepentant about calling Rosie O’Donnell a fat cow is one thing but being unrepentant and defiant about using aborted baby parts in research is another!
He might as well join planned parenthood if fighting back is his game plan.
I mean, sure, we COULD have debtor's prisons, and indentured servants for debt. We used to. Used to have stocks and whippings for people who got into debt over their heads. But we kind of got away from all that after the Civil War (I).
Bankruptcy laws may be abused by some, both the corporate and personal kinds. But many great people (and great companies) have overcome bankruptcy and emerged strong and ultimately benefited many people. The net effect is that people are allowed to take risks starting companies without fear of being killed by society for failing.
Did you know that the department store Macy guy went bankrupt five (5) times before he started firing on all cylinders? His company is more than a century old.
To me, Trump's bankruptcies make him Churchillian and unstoppable.
I really believe he will be POTUS, in part, because he was bankrupt (only) four times, and he keeps getting up and fighting.
Aborted baby’s vs Bankruptcy ...apples and oranges
However Trump is weak on abortion...I have been excited about him until I hear him say stuff like...”I will talk to the Republican party about changing its platform to include all the exceptions”
And his recent comments that He thinks... “planned parenthood has done a lot of good things, the abortion part is a very small amount”
Cruz is really the way to go, a true Conservative with no down size, but I would happily take Trump if he would make pledges in all these life issues and the Judges he would appoint to the Supreme Court
