He never said that he applied or was accepted. That is a very blatant lie, by the Politico!

well, I have been saying 4 years that it isn't just about that "single issue" of pre-born life
it's not just about how I won't vote for anyone who is not TRULY pro life... (truly pro life means: no abortion for incest/rape..)
it is not a single issue at all.. b/c it
has to do with INTEGRITY
anyone working in the medical field as long as Carson who is STILL not in favor of ALL humans being allowed to continue living (in the womb) is not worthy of the job of president...

Why not? What is he hiding? What does going to college have to do with it? I went to college, and I'm sure my grades would be offered up quite quickly if the press asked. Why is it OK with you for him to keep all info on his college application and transcript hidden?

And don't forget that Politico lied about the Carson campaign admitting it too.
Ben Carson admits fabricating West Point scholarship
You are aware that nobody gets a "scholarship" to West Point right SD? The opportunity to attend USMA, USAFA, or Annapolis are by presidential appointment only, you go through an application process through your State representatives, along with letters from former graduates that have vetted you and submit these requests before the president on your behalf and he gives the appointments to worthy recipients based upon academics mainly. Ben Carson may have had an offer to help him with an appointment that he turned down but he never had a scholarship because a scholarship is not necessary to attend. That being said, what I have read concerning Carson was that he was approached by some West Point folks at a dinner and was told they could help him attain an appointment based upon his grades & high rank on the Detroit ROTC which is quite plausible, he went on to not seek an appointment because he wanted to go to med school. I am really surprised you would take anything from politico with more than a grain of salt, it is a left wing hit job from a left wing pseudo journalistic rag. :nono:

There is no lie, he could be offered one without applying, it happens to students all the time.
Like Bill Clinton and marijuana? Oh wait....
Who pays you? Rove or Jeb?

Hey, I like your name!
The funny thing is that the left wing pseudo journalists cannot find any dirt on Carson so they fabricate it out of thin air. An appointment to West Point is a four year paid "scholarship" (if you will) which pays for academics, room, board, medical care & an annual salary. West Point has even advertised it as a scholarship...incidently for those who don't know Mr. Carson's background he attended Yale, University of Michigan Medical school, and retired as the chief of pediatric neurosurgery at John Hopkins one of the most prestigious hospitals in the country where he performed in excess of 15,000 surgeries and this is the best dirt that the left can dig up? that he supposedly lied that West Point was interested? What a joke! You don't see any of these pseudo journalists digging up the dirt on Hillary Clinton now do you? You don't have to dig far to get to those skeletons but, we all know that now don't we....
She does her junk right out in the open like obama does, whats to dig up?
The difference is that the left see the weakness in their proposed candidate and they will help her in any way they can which includes deception & outright fabrication of dirt on all who threaten her. What is really pathetic are those that would even consider electing the outright crook & pathological liar that is Hillary Clinton... Just shows that ideology comes way before any semblance of integrity in the mind of the liberal. Pathetic Indeed!
There should have been no doubt about it when Obama got elected for a second time.
