This whole carson thing wouldn’t be an issue if Cruz hadn’t been claiming
that he was so pure. What was done was pure political. Right out of the
hillary clinton hand book and wouldn’t be sneezed at if the guy who did
it wasn’t claiming he isn’t the typical politician. The guy who claims he
isn’t establishement went establishment on carson. If this was a mistake,
as cruz said it was, and fired the offending parties in his campaign, all
would be forgiven. But he is essentially condoning the behavior by not
firing anyone.
“This whole carson thing wouldn’t be an issue if Cruz hadn’t been claiming that he was so pure. “
When? Where?
Is claiming to be a conservative who keeps his promises what you have a problem with? Because I personally WANT more of those. He said so like other politicians, but he also DID SO unlike the other politicians.
This is why EVERY conservative rating has Ted Cruz at the top.
If you want to malign him for being a true, pure conservative, maybe you would feel more comfortable over at the Democratic Underground. They really do not like “pure” conservatives there.
“If this was a mistake, as cruz said it was, and fired the offending parties in his campaign, all would be forgiven.”
You must be very young and naive. Apologizing is something that brings more attacks. He did apologize. Carson said he accepted. And then what came next? More attacks.
If Cruz fired someone, many would say “see here, he admits what a horrible thing he did”. They would demand more. Give up your delegates in Iowa. Crawl on all fours, and bark like a dog. Roll over. Now play dead. Now resign.
What Cruz said was the CNN news his campaign repeated should have been confirmed with the Carson camp and it was not. I have read the CNN tweets, what they actually said on TV (you can see it for yourself on Allen West’s website), and what Cruz’s team posted.
I don’t think it was dishonest. I think it was an honest mistake to post it. I don’t think Cruz gained anything by it. I don’t think Carson lost anything by it.
There are two kinds of people posting these negative posts on Cruz: those who pretend to be offended at something, and those who fall for the lies of those who pretend to be offended.
I think you are the latter. Don’t trust the Communist News Network, GOPe, or candidates desperate to score points when their campaigns are floundering.
