There's a difference between lying and miscommunicating. I saw an interview with him yesterday where he talked about this, and his answer seemed plausible. He said that he had been told it was extremely likely that he could get a West Point appointment, which in the book got written as "he was offered a West Point appointment". I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that one.

I'm kind of with you on the idiot thing though. For a brain surgeon he certainly doesn't seem to have a lot going on upstairs sometimes. Maybe that's just a communication thing, too, hard to say.

What about his lies about getting awards in a Yale class that didn't exist? WSJ published an article on it.

I get that, but scholarship at west point isn't a thing, it's just not. As a supposed genius doctor and a kid who had just finished rotc he is either dumbing it down or misrepresenting it. It doesn't really matter though, because he won't win. The guy is a bumbling mess. He really pulls off the whole idiot savant thing.

There's a reason our best and brightest don't run for president. They look at this sort of thing and think, "No way am I putting myself and my family through that."

And I know you don't agree, but to me the media gauntlet appears to be many, many, many times more brutal if the candidate is conservative. No matter what you think of Carson, this particular issue should never have been a story. He used some wording that was apparently not exactly right, even though in context we can all figure out what really happened, and yet we are going to crucify him for it. How incredibly stupid!
 
^Meanwhile Hillary has been caught in a series of lies that resulted in the deaths of an ambassador and other Americans, yet the media is okay with it. Bizarre and sad.

Well we all know how many Americans died when Bush was running the show. I'd be fine with another democrat. Ideally Bernie.

It's clear to me that you and I are at no risk whatsoever of coming to a political agreement. You want a completely different type of America than I do.

You will continue to be an enigma to me. When I first started seeing your posts, all you could talk about was how much you liked weiners. Then you act like a dunce. Now you are basically playing a conservative blowhard. Are you just an alt, or is this actually you?
