Media Plays Gotcha with Ben

Chuck Todd of NBC pushed the plunger on “Meet the Press” to detonate the media last Sunday when he asked Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson if he thinks Roe v. Wade. should be overturned.

Dr. Carson said he would not support abortion under even controversial circumstances. Asked if he would make allowances for rape and incest, Ben said “no.”

Dr. Carson went on to say, “During slavery, a lot of the slave owners thought that they had the right to do whatever they wanted to that slave. Anything that they chose to do. And, you know, what if the abolitionist had said, you know, ‘I don’t believe in slavery. I think it’s wrong. But you guys do whatever you want to do.’ Where would we be?”

AAEAAQAAAAAAAAPWAAAAJDY4NzVlNTBjLTQ1YzktNDBiNC05YWNjLTA4MTkwMGMwNDU0NgBen Carson and other Republican candidates are always asked “Gotcha” questions the media would never ask a Democrat candidate. The bias is obvious. What is not so obvious is that these candidates must learn to “avoid and deflect” these questions with answers such as, “Roe v. Wade is a Supreme Court ruling, not an Executive Branch decision. I am concerned with solutions to educate our young people to live fruitful lives, have a high standard of living and enjoy success in our exceptional republic.”

Finally, an author who brings you solutions, instead of problems.

Americans have lost faith in their overreaching federal government. “We the People” don’t need to be overregulated or have their taxes misspent. Americans are victims of a crumbling economy, high prices and stagnant wages. They view government as bloated and politicians as corrupt. They do not trust the leadership at any level. They see politicians of both parties as self-centered narcissists whose only objective is re-election. The author is like you, with one principal difference and 20 reasons for optimism. His “Vision” of America is “clear.” It is a vision of the Constitution and America the way it could be, the way it should be. The author’s eyesight is twenty-twenty.
