    Just checking in to see how the circle jerk was progressing. Carry on!!!!

    p.s. While Carson isn't even in my top 3 choices, I find it amusing the grasping at straws to "find something" on Carson. It probably will backfire, (already starting to--see the knife attack meme) but one thing is for certain....someone on the democratic side must be pretty worried to put this much effort into the mudslinging.

    You do realize this most probably was republican opposition research on Mr. Carson right?

    You ain't seen nothin' yet what Hillary's opo has in store for Mr Carson.

    Well it's looking more and more like it won't be necessary.

    You don't have to grasp much to find incredibly stupid things said by Ben Carson much less the fact that stories about his life can't be verified by reality.

    You're missing the point. No one is "worried" about Mr. Carson, not on the left anyway. The "grasping for straws" claim doesn't work because Ben's created his self-destruction through his OWN writing and his OWN comments/interviews.

    Liberals didn't do anything, unless questioning someone's fabricated story is a partisan action.

    I keep reading and hearing such an outcry from conservatives about the alleged, unfair treatment Ben is receiving from the press and his opponents, both on the right and left. Where does personal responsibility come into play? When will Ben acknowledge that his own oral and textual commentary paved the way for his political suicide?

    This can't be mudslinging if there is no back-and-forth discourse. There are now at least 10 different statements and dishonest, unclear narratives that Ben generated by his own free will.

    As a politician (even if he was a doctor initially), Ben should have anticipated that his words would be examined closely, but more importantly, he should have recognized early on that the public, including the duties associated with the press, would question the merit of his stories and allegations.

    I have absolutely no sympathy for Ben. I find it even more disgusting that he tried to compare his relationship with the press with the attacks Barack faced before winning the WH. Barack couldn't control the Birthers, his skin color or the unfounded accusations about his religious beliefs.

    He didn't fuel the fire with lies from a poorly-written book or poorly-executed interviews. Ben Carson failed in his attempt to create a nonexistent persona because he didn't foresee his own lies--the lies he wrote and said aloud-- being exposed to the entire world.

    That's pathetic for any politician, but even more, it's the definition of a character flaw, when lies are used for some sort of personal gain, while deception hurts the countless people who genuinely believed in Carson as a candidate and a person with genuine positive intent.

    Sean Hannity/Glenn Beck, is that you? C'mon, leave the propaganda alone. You don't want to go there with the whole network debate. You don't want to go forth with an examination of the lies that are communicated through Fox News on a daily basis.

    Stop.

    Ben is getting attention from everyone, but again, HE created all of this with his own misleading, or downright false, stories and comments that don't fall within the common understanding of reality.

    you dont have to "find" anything. he is putting it all out there. he is the one saying pyramids were used to store grain and jail makes you gay and that he attacked his mother with a hammer. dude is a straight up lunatic and probably a pathological liar. but he talks about jesus so all the evangelical religious fanatics love him...policy does not matter to these freaks...its god, gays and abortion.

    i guarantee you democrats would love nothing more than a ben carson nomination. it would be the biggest landslide in most of our lifetimes...i am not a democrat and i hate hillary clinton, but it almost seems like the GOP wants me to vote for her.

    You are incredibly naive if you think Ben Carson winning the Republican nomination is not every Hillary fan girl's dream come true.

    Worried = the guy whose party has Ben ****ing Carson as the frontrunner, over Donald Trump.

    Which is why most of these 'grasping at straws" attacks are coming from.....the Republican side. Who do you think owns the Wall Street Journal?

    Trust me, as a registered, money-donating Democratic party supporter, I would like nothing more than to see Big Ben on the ballot with a big fat R next to his name next November.

    How the part of the electorate that isn't in the tank for Hillary sees these "scandals".

    [​IMG]


    Listen, a kumquat has at least an even money chance against ANOTHER (ugh) Clinton that could be under indictment in 6 months. I mean even a large percentage of YOUR OWN PARTY heavily supports a socialist over "Shrillary" and won't show up for her cause she's so unlikeable. Meanwhile, the part of the electorate that WILL elect the next president (independents) think your candidate is a pathological liar who flip flops more a fish out of water.

    She's toast and everyone knows it which is why she's already trailing vs. virtually every single republican candidate in head to head polls. I've NEVER seen a dem candidate trail this badly so early. Hell, even Jeb Bush leads her. SMH.

    ^ If you didn't care you wouldn't have posted in the first place, nor made such a rapid attempt to play it off after you became the target of ridicule.

    Listen everyone, stop being so argumentative. These supplements will make you feel better. And cure cancer.

    Typical republican can't take any responsibility for their trainwreck of their campaign - always blaming the liberals and the media as their scapegoat.

    Of course is someone is sick and dying on their bed, or they are dirt poor with no options - that's their own fault. THEN let's talk personal responsibility. But a candidate flailing about like a fish on land - gotta find someone else to blame.

    Fact that Carson can't take responsibility and has to cry and blame like a kid makes him unfit for a lot of jobs.

    It's a shame - the turned a great role model of a black surgeon into a mockery. What a waste

    If you were paying attention, the meme was referring to voters that matter...mainly anyone that isn't a vapid Clinton supporter. But I realize that for you, paying attention isn't one of your strong suits.

    Also, you mistake my presence in here for anything more than the trolling of the progressive voter circle jerk the D&D is...which you partake in like a pavlovian dog.

    Here boy!
