I don’t know how this all got started, other than to say politics is a down and dirty business big time at this level.

Bill Clinton’s underlings leaked a story one Friday in the 1990’s about the WH steward who cleaned up after he met Monica Lewinsky, then the underlings backed away from their original version forcing the newspaper given the leak (”Dallas Morning News”) to back off its story and look bad.

It was all deliberately done to help the cause of Clinton.

Did some GOPe underlings who support Carson as their hope of stopping Trump have a hand in planting this story and then forcing its retraction?

Ben Carson’s playing the tactic of blaming the liberal media is the old Republican Establishment tactic to suck conservatives into doing the GOPe bidding.

RIchard NixOn had his VP Spiro Agnew trash the liberal media to distract from his friendliness to Communists in China and the Soviet Union.

The GOPe agenda with Carson is clear. Suck in conservatives to divide the vote with Trump and Cruz so their man who I think is Rubio can be pushed through to win the Republican nomination for POTUS.

It looks like this situation is being ginned up with that in mind.

Great points .. all of them.

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".

It certainly got Carson the SYMPATHY VOTE yesterday and probably this weekend...which may shoot breathe life back into him. Looks like Rush and a lot of people here took that bait.

Bottom line is that Carson still flat-out lied, even if Politico reported it incorrectly...but now Carson’s lies are off-the-table, because of Politico’s so-called mistake.

Considering that Carson appears to be the ONLY PERSON in the Republican Party left that can stop Trump (but has been getting shaky lately), and that the media, the Democrats, and the GOPe all want to stop Trump, your theory makes PERFECT SENSE to me, as it pretty much shut down all the kook-stuff Carson has been saying lately, also.
