Interview from On The Record with Greta Van Susteren with Dr. Ben Carson discussing his thoughts on the Iowa Caucus, the Cruz Campaign's actions, and the ramifications.
This is a video at the link.

The heck he has not. Cruz’s citizenship he hammer and hammers away at. Implies he was only a citizen of Canada itll a few yrs ago, Says C is responsible for the pass of Obamacare.
Politics, nobodies clean. The difference here though, a real violation occurred, when the Cruz campaign deliberately attempted to dupe Carson voters in the actual polling place during the actual voting. Clearly outside the bounds of negative campaigning, probably the death knell for Cruz, because so much of his support is based on character.
If there is a party in the wrong here it is CNN. The Cruz people were quite justified to use published news. Carsons people were quite free to refute the story. Bottom line is that Carson brought this on himself, without a doubt.
I would not vote for Dr. Carson, regardless, I feel he was wronged—and by a candidate who claims moral integrity. If you watch the video I posted and the one posted on #7, you can see what happened. Facts seem to emerge daily.
Some say it is not a big deal, but I had thought the Cruz campaign was above this level. Of course I expect this from Hillary, but that is not justification for the Cruz campaign to pull stunt like this.
Just my opinion, although Greta seemed to have similar thoughts...
Did you WATCH THE 2 VIDEOS??
Doubt it, because if you had, you likely would have a different conclusion.
Scientology is a dangerous mind control cult.
Just ask anyone who has escaped it.
With all due respect, this thread has nothing to do with Trump and his actions. This is about a VIDEO of an interview with GRETA VAN SUSTEREN AND DR. CARSON.
IF you wish to discuss Donald Trump, I think it is a fine idea, and you should start a new thread.
No one has come forward.
This is rather telling wouldn’t you agree?
As for your hypothetical, if the Cruz campaign put out the naws that Cruz would not travel to New Hampshire or South Carolina, but would instead go back to Texas after Iowa, you bet I would expect the other campaigns to make use if this. And they’d be entirely justified in doing so. This is herdball, and you can’t afford to make those kind of JV mistakes. Carson needs to own this.
Leaving aside the question: why did the Carson spokesman make that an announcement that was taken as a CNN reporter as odd, and deserving of a three-four minute speculation on Carson’s intentions. You act as though the Cruz leader made this up out of whole cloth. Carson fumbled and tries to put the blame on the opposition. It was CNN that took the words out of his mouth, not Cruz.
orry, 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.
Daniel 4:17
God’s will will be done my FRiend. And for a lot of us there may be weeping and gnashing of teeth - so to speak.
Get over it Greta and Ben.
I am not a proponent of Scientology by any stretch, I just think it is tacky to try to tear down someone’s argument by attacking them based on their religion.
Oh, and you also attacked Dr. Carson’s faith. I don’t share his faith, but I think it is classless to attack his ideas by attacking his faith.
I don’t support Dominion Theology or Word of Faith Theology, nor am I Baptist, but you don’t see me attacking Senator Cruz’s positions by attacking his faith. OH, BTW,e Heidi Cruz was raised as a 7th Day Adventist, just like Dr. Carson...
Quote:
“Carson should be more outraged by previous Trump verbal slights.”
How’s that? Trump just used words. Cruz screwed with the people’s vote. If you all can’t seen the difference the you deserve the politicians you get. Dr. Carson was horribly wronged as were the voters of Iowa. Cruz needs to fire some people now or he is toast.
Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh are going to pay a heavy price for laughing this off. They of all people ought to know that once you’ve sold your integrity you never get it back.
LOL it is the JV mistakes made by AN OUTSIDER—which is what drew so many people to Dr. Carson and draws even more to Trump. They are not politicians like Steve King and Ted Cruz.
It is not what I would feel if Trump had done it...he didn’t. Cruz did and he seems really untrustworthy—which is ironic to me given his TRUSTED logo.
Again, I suggest you watch the videos before commenting all over the thread.
That joke, like the beautiful parrot, just flew over my head.
Team Carson is to blame, and rather than admit it, they are going to cheap gain. I’ve lost respect for them.
Truth is Carson is weak on pro-life issues and marriage and religious freedom issues. All of those are paramount to me. Carson is bad on immigration, weak on education (from a conservative perspective), weak on takes and economy, weak on budget and spending, weak on national defense, weak on the environment and weak on the 2nd Amendment. Carson is not getting more votes because Carson is not the conservative voters are looking for. On top of that now he is showing sore loser tendencies and the inability to take responsibility for the failures of his own team.
Someone who actually believes in Scientology has to be considered a certified whack job.
Tell me, would you take into consideration the faith of a Koran thumping muslim when weighing their political ideology or judgment?
That wasn't me. I don't agree with 7th Day Adventists, but they are certainly not a mind control cult like Scientology. They are just overly legalistic. Not that any of them actually follow all the rules.
oops...so sorry—it was someone else!
Get over it Greta and Ben.
I really don’t understand how you can make a crack like that, and yet have this tagline...
Carson was wronged—and Cruz campaign acts as if they took the moral high ground. They ought to quit sending out Election Violation mailings and dust off their Bibles and read about integrity and character as it was taught.
Frankly reminds me of Christians who drive cars with Christian bumper stickers that turn around and cut people off, tailgate, lay on the horn, etc. Not very becoming of followers of Christ.
