Carson lied about West Point acceptance

[scott_free]

Why was he in ROTC then?

Why not?

And why did he lie about being offered a "scholarship!!!"

He didn't lie. He considered Gen Westmorelands comments an offer, as would most people.


quoting local 5th...



Dumb people would!! You moron. So if an athlete meets Earl Campbell at some UT dinner or luncheon, and Earl Campbell says he heard you had a pretty good record as a running back in whatever high school you attended and you could probably be a running back at UT, would that athlete not be a complete dumbass if he went through life from then on bragging he was offered A FULL ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP AT UT BUT HE TURNED IT DOWN BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE FOR GENERAL ACCOUNTING?

And a complete dufus like Kenyan calling Hillary a hag just because she is 5000 times the person he is in every way possible!!  How envious are you, little pigboy?

Hoosier the Loser, Even under a new name, you are still the biggest ass on the board.

kensan,  should I  vote for Carson in the upcoming republican primary?  I was going to be voting for Trump but it seems he's shot his wad now and the republican clown show must go on.  Carson looks like he's driving now but Cruz is fighting for the wheel.

who would you recommend I vote for kensan?

[KensanIV]

I don't know Wvit, Most idiots seem to be voting for Hillary.

[wvit1001]

so you blabber and spout wacky bullshit but you can't bring yourself to offer up any of the republican candidates that are worthy of my vote in the primaries?

[wvit1001]

who are you voting for in the primaries kensan?

[Byteryder]

Maybe we are all sick and tired of you stirring the pot for the sake of raising a stink ever day.

[WWV10MHZ]

He said he never applied.  So, how could he lie about acceptance?

Cadets attend at no cost.  So, how could he lie about a scholarship?

He was told that he could go if he wanted.  He didn't want to go, so what's the issue? ? ? ? ? ?

Much ado about nothing!

[wvit1001]

are you voting for Carson wavy?  how about you byt?

 Earl Campbell has nothing to do with ROTC or West Point scholarships, hooty.



Army ROTC scholarships pay tuition for your college education and you also receive a monthly stipend and money for books.

Scholarships - yes

Wvit, Since you care to ask, As a registered R... In the primaries I can only vote for the nominee of the R. party.  By the time it gets to my state, the candidates will have been chosen.  Of course when it comes time to actually vote, I can cross over and vote for the D, should I choose.

Personally I like Rubio... I don't particularly care for JEB,  He a RINO.  This country has seen enough Bush's and Clintons... Trump is okay, but a bit too blustery.  Cruz is an extremely bright dude...But a bit extreme.  Carson is also extremely bright, but not a lot of experience. Carlie is okay, doesn't seem to be afraid to making decisions, Paul is okay...doesn't excite me.  The rest of them might as well go home now.

Whomever wins Iowa, New Hampshire and S. Carolina will be the nominee and probably will get my vote.  Those who have no experience will do well to select a running mate that has some experience at least as a governor in getting a budget, running a state and making decisions.

Tis an interesting time to be a Republican.  As for the Demos, Hillary is used baggage and I don't think she can overcome her past failures and cover-ups.  Bernie is a socialist...and would probably make a perfect left wing candidate for many.  O'Malley wasn't the best governor that Maryland ever had, he was there for the Balto problems.. and did nuttin worthy of notice.

I can't imagine a situation where I would cross over.

    Ben Carson Admits He Lied About Inspirational West Point Story   
    
   


The GOP front-runner's autobiography seems to be at least part fiction.

CNN published a story questioning Carson's "inspirational" tales of childhood violence, including a nasty attack on a classmate and charging at his mother with a hammer. Carson's former classmates were unfamiliar with the incidents, reported CNN. Slightly later, the Carson campaign fessed up that he'd fabricated a story about applying and being accepted into West Point after Politico found no evidence any of that had happened.
