Well I can't help but notice Ben Carson is a black man and that he grew up in a black community and that his experiences shaped his thinking and beliefs. Fortunately for Ben Carson he had good role models. Contrast Obama who gravitated to radicals and an occupation whose main method of leverage is to divide.

Carson has shown like Thomas Sowell, Jason Riley and other successful black leaders that they do not possess a victim mentality like Obama. Carson clearly demonstrates that he would be a uniter that he is intelligent ,that he is a thinker, that he has common sense, that he would surround himself with highly capable people. and the coup d'etat he is not an attorney. We have had far too long too many attorneys in The Executive and Legislative Branches who have papered us to the point of suffocation with regulations, rules etc all way too complex and so voluminous that even the most gifted get lost in the reading to wit Obamacare and Dodd-Frank,etc

I have not pick a favorite yet but have whittled down my list and Carson is still on it.

Personal Best Regards:
:BigApplause: Yes I agree whole heartedly with the prior 2 posters. This is an excellent post.

No, Ben Carson could NOT make it as President. He may be an excellent doctor but certainly would not be a good President.

Carson has absolutely no governmental experience. That is required to work in Washington! You have to know inner workings in order to get things accomplished.

A poster said Carson would surround himself with good advisors. Chances are that the advisors would be the same Tea Party reactionary caliber as himself - not good.

Carson would be very ineffective. No business experience like Don Trump has nor like Herman Cain had. Both of those would be so much better than Carson. Yes, I know Cain is not a candidate.

Carson has said his main objective would be to scrap Affordable Care. He has offered NO alternative.

Your opinion that he would not make a good president.
I have no problem if he surrounded himself with TP members, but I doubt he would. Even if he did, he is the boss, not them.
You are entitled to your opinion, but compare him with Obama and see which one would come out on top. Obama is divisive. Carson is not. Obama considers Christians to be the enemy. Carson IS a Christian. Look at how Carson handled Trump in the last debate. He led Trump like you would a child. Carson is smart and witty. Carson is easily liked. Obama had no life experience. Carson does. Obama is stupid. Carson is smart.

As far as scrapping Obamacare, who else would be better to provide an alternative than a doctor?

I might have talked myself into voting for him.

All of these were made up. You really should read something besides Huffington.
You're wrong on that. I watched the interview on CNN where he talked about homosexuality and how it is "absolutely a choice". Here's a clip of what he said:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwVSQ5kGXMA

Guest 10-25-2015 02:28 PM
And here's a couple more really stupid things he's said. He is a creationist and thinks evolution is a myth, and he hopes God will intervene to expose the truth about Obamacare. He prays for that. And "The power of God " is behind his presidential campaign. What a Fruitcake. Yikes.

Carson has NOT offered any alternative for Affordable Care.
Carson wants to eliminate Medicare!
Your remarks about Pres. Obama are lies - by you!

Trump is a much better choice than Carson.

Well, that part is true. There is no evidence to the contrary. Besides, there's nothing wrong with him saying that, and he is a doctor so I figure he is better qualified than you to make that statement.

The rest of the supposed quotes you indicated, are taken out of context and you know it. You are trying to justify putting your endorsement on Hilary the criminal. Kind of hard to defend her, when she is her own worst enemy.

It's all a matter of opinion. In my opinion, Trump is a Democrat. He wants to socialize health care, increase taxes, etc. But, he is a better choice than Hilary by a long ways. But, he won't see my vote unless he can get the nomination. Otherwise, I have several possibles in my line up.

And what I said about Obama is not lies. Read his books and see for yourself. You do know how to check out a library book, don't you? I have them both on the computer. Obama is a racist, he is divisive and he is a socialist. He was raised in a Muslim environment and school. He has a communist mentor, a domestic terrorist mentor, and a socialist billionaire mentor. He says things that no other president would or has said in the past. He is a weak leader, and he can't vacate the White House fast enough for me.

Evolution can not be proved, but evidence of creation exists. So, there is nothing wrong with what he said. ALL Christians are creationists, or they aren't Christians. That leaves you, a non-believer in the minority.

For the sake of argument, I will agree that having homosexual tendencies is not a choice. However, acting on those tendencies is definitely "absolutely a choice". So, maybe Ben Carson was correct after all.

Carson may do good in the Iowa caucuses but that does not mean a thing. The looney right wing evanagilicans in Iowa do not represent sane people by any stretch of the imagination.

It is quite comforting to know we have such people on this forum that have the vast knowledge and experience to judge others, and to be qualified to sufficiently judge sanity.

Question since you have these powers.

Why would anyone trust proven and admitted liars as the Clinton couple truly are ? Is that considered a mental defect of some sort ?

Guest 10-25-2015 07:05 PM
Ben Carson does NOT believe in evolution and he believes the Earth and everything on it was created in SIX days about 6,000 years ago.

People who believe in the Bible as literal history - like Carson does - are not rational in any sense of the word.

We do not need right wing loons like him leading the country - and we won't. The general population of America is a lot smarter than to vote him into office.

Americans showed the Republicans in 2008 and 2012. It will happen again in 2016 - thanks in part to the electoral college.

Remember, the smaller Republican counties in Florida lose out to the much larger Democrat bastions. All Florida electoral votes will go to Hillary Clinton!

I am glad to know that your knowledge on any subject is "half-vast".

I know for sure I do not have the knowledge or ability to judge so many people with a few keystrokes as you seem to have.
