Rubio won’t get it if Gilmore has anything to say about it.

You'll need to switch your party affiliation if you want to vote for Cthulu in the primary. She's running as a Democrat.

HAH! I read your post before I reached for the wine glass!

FAIL!

There is quite literally NO evidence that any Carson voters switched to Cruz, Trump or Rubio as a result of this last-minute appeal.

In watching 50 years of election watching I have never seen a controversy with less substance than this one. What a bunch of crybabies

Personally, I think Spurgeon would frown upon Cthulhu. He might even able to take him, ala "The Christian Hulk".

Daniel 4:17
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men

Cthulu would probably be an improvement over the current _resident. Cthulu is not the basest of men since he isn't a man.

I’m in California. It will be all over by June. I’ll probably ask for a Democrat ballot and vote for Sanders. Sanders will do as well as McGovern. The only difference between McGovern and Sanders is that McGovern was a patriot and a war hero. Sanders has nothing going for him.

You refuse to pay your speech teacher, saying he did not teach you well.
He brings you before a magistrate.
You present your argument. He provides his response.
The magistrate rules in your favor and orders you to pay.

Carson should be more outraged by previous Trump verbal slights.

Why? Trump did not lie and mislead voters at over 1500 Iowa location in order to swindle people to vote for him, cruz did.

Whether or not it was effective is not the issue here. The issue is whether it was ethical and moral, especially for a candidate who parades himself around as a devout Christian.

well you are wrong sorry but on Greta’s show there was a named person who did see people change their votes to Cruz.. and even if there were no votes changed,, them attempting to do it is just as bad.. like a bank robber getting caught before he walks away from the teller’s booth.. he’s still just as guilty

(Yeah, be consistent and go after EVERY pastor and priest who has a fellow staffer who committed the sin of rumor-mongering...) Beyond that, Carson did 1.6% BETTER in votes than polls indicated he would...so no evidence votes were actually switched to Cruz

Good to see Greta throwing some moral support to Trump fans, as obtuse as it was.

Man oh man. I was an early supporter of Carson. I mean very early. Like when he did his first exploratory committee. He has said some things that made me realize he was just not ready for prime time. I like him, but he IS NOT ready for prime time. If he thinks this was bad, he ain’t seen nothing yet. If he wins the nomination, he will have the label “uncle Tom” in nearly every article the Satanic left produces. They will line up a hundred times more accusers of adultery and rape than all of the black conservatives who have come before him. If he wants to be president he needs to get off this issue and move forward.

I could vote for Trump or Carson, but lately their own words have come across to me as coming from sore losers. Come on. You both can do better. Conservatives need all of you.

LOL I am certain if this had happened to Cruz...and Trump had been the one to state Cruz campaign was suspended, you would be screaming!

You can call Dr. Carson a crybaby if you wish. However, had you watched the video, you would have learned that his wife walked into a precinct after the “word” had gone out from the Cruz campaign. Mrs. Carson was allowed to speak and she refuted the claims that Dr. Carson was suspending his campaign (well of course, she would know...) and Dr. Carson stated that he won that precinct.

I wonder had Mrs. Carson been able to refute the incorrect information that was disseminated to 1500 precincts, perhaps the outcome would have far different.

Just becuasae there is NO evidence that any Carson voters switched to Cruz Trump or Rubio, does not mean they didn’t...And I wonder how many people have actually sought to find out if votes had been switched.

Regardless, it was ethically wrong—and every day more comes out to indicate that. Sorry, but for some of us, it is really hard to stomach when the Cruz campaign infers that they are taking the moral high ground and invoking God’s will, etc...As Dr.Carson stated, there were no consequences for sketchy behavior.

So
