The Republican Primary Race Is Filling Up

Don't know who my candidate will be yet. Won't be any of the turds in the gop, though. You guys have a whole slate of douche and turds. And you're seemingly happy with it. You folks are going to blissfully line up behind whatever knot head in this group shakes out and hand the election to the dems. All because you love tinfoil and jeebus. Keep deflecting, though.

Why, mrjarrell, you mad brah?

I only ask because you don't usually, overtly, violate INGO rules unless you're really mad.

I guess that leaves voting for the enemy or voting for pointless. Or staying home and pouting.

Ben Carson admits fabricating West Point scholarship - POLITICO

Not quite accurate.

Politico lying about a potential republican candidate? I am shocked, shocked I say.

No INGO rules have been violated, (unless a certain mod is making them up again). Not even mad. BW is just stuck on repeating himself, as usual. He knows the gop has a candidate problem and he, along with many, many others, refuses to face it. The gop has allowed a herd of their worst to come forward. I'm just getting mentally ready for president Hillary, because gop voters are inevitably going to line up with the most stupid of their candidates if they continue as they are. Their choice, though.

Carson stretched the truth. Dinner with Westmoreland and 2 MOH winners? Well, yeah....and 1099 OTHER people at the dinner. That's like saying I had a Gatorade with Andrew Luck at the last Colts game.

Carson may be a brilliant surgeon. That doesn't make him presidential material.

Yes, he did.

From his book:

'At the end of my twelfth grade I marched at the head of the Memorial Day parade. I felt so proud, my chest bursting with ribbons and braids of every kind. To make it more wonderful, We had important visitors that day. Two soldiers who had won the Congressional Medal of Honor in Viet Nam were present. More exciting to me, General William Westmoreland (very prominent in the Viet Nam war) attended with an impressive entourage. Afterward, Sgt. Hunt introduced me to General Westmoreland, and I had dinner with him and the Congressional Medal winners. Later I was offered a full scholarship to West Point. I didn’t refuse the scholarship outright, but I let them know that a military career wasn’t where I saw myself going.'

That was a lie, and his campaign admitted it. Now that it's news they're trying to walk it back and make him look better.

Isn't it usually someone that loses early in the GOP primary?

I think it's going to be the guy that lost early in the last GOP primary.

I won't pretend that we've had a single president that doesn't lie, or candidate for that matter.

Again... I don't think a hypothetical President Carson would be making many laws based on Pyramids, or fake scholarships.

Notice the media is still struggling to find something to hit Rubio with.

Yea Rubio is pretty slick...a little too slick...I don't trust him ...

Hey the latter has beer and internet forums...just saying.

Like that Demetri martin bit, “My friend asked me if I’d ever swam with dolphins. I said, Yeah, of course. [Pause.] Wait. What distance are we talking about? [Pause.] From the dolphins. [Pause.] Because last time I was in the ocean, I’m pretty sure I swam with most of them."

Yes, he did.

Can you link to the exact quote from Carson or a named representative stating that he lied?

Let's just call it Stolen Valor, and leave it at that.

What? You mean like his misuse of gop credit cards in Florida? The thousands he misspent and likely has never repaid?

Wasn't Rubio caught back a couple of years ago talking about how he swam in from Cuba and had trouble with the currents around Key West?

How about lets not. He never claimed any form of military service that he didn't actually do.
