Carson: Cruz taking 'Benghazi' approach to Iowa controversy
Politico ^

Posted on 02/05/2016 12:16:24 PM PST by springwater13

"I would have said if I didn't agree with what's being — which he did say that — I would make sure that it didn’t happen again," Carson noted in an interview with Todd Starnes' podcast, as reported by BuzzFeed News. "And I would take corrective action. Not to take corrective action is tacitly saying eh, it’s OK, or it's sort of like, as Hillary Clinton said after Benghazi, 'what difference does it make?'"

He has “suspended” his campaign before to sell some books, maybe he should stick to the book tour...

Exactly what kind of cesspool are you guys planning to turn America into?

I get it. Honesty, integrity, & decency just aren’t ‘in y’all’s wheelhouse’.
This ‘honor’ Cruz claims is opposite speak. Kinda like Islam ‘honor’.

Taqiyya isn’t just for muzzies apparently.

He’s a complete phony pure and simple. He’s George Grizzard in the movie “Advise and Consent.” A wonderful movie and well worth watching.

Did he not have anyone at that caucus place to dispute that?

Ron Paul at all. He’s a crackpot.

Speakin of crackpots. . .
These difference is, he’s harmless. Your people, not so much.

People better wake the hell up. Most who are willing to vote for Cruz have no clue what they’re getting themselves into.

More is known about Cruz than Trump.

What a cry baby. You lost Carson, and you never had a chance of winning. Quit using your faux outrage against Ted Cruz (who did NOTHING WRONG) to try and revive your dying campaign!

Yes, at one caucus location carson’s wife was there, and she got to speak, although she was not scheduled to...she told the voters it was not true, that Carson was not leaving the race . Carson won that location! Go figure. But as Hillary would say,at this point, what difference does it make. I just heard a ben carson interview. He says he is not going anywhere!

My favorite quote from Pride and Prejudice comes to mind:

"Nothing is more deceitful," said Darcy, "than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast."

That’s not how it works.

It’s individual conversations and not speakers at microphones.

Describes Dr Carson perfectly.

Precious little is known about Ted Cruz. Or his father & mother. Just a speck.
But we have a few months. I suspect he WILL be ‘catching fire’. Just not the way y’all meant it.

No problem.

The great thing about reading Steyn is that he’s also such a good writer and has a flair for the humorous turn of phrase.

The best going in so many different categories.
