Spineless Coward Ben Carson can't handle the pressure of national politics

[hazlnut]

He may be a good doctor and a swell guy a church, but when policy and economic questions come his way he's a clueless as Sarah Palin. This is blow to his ego, so he turns tail and runs.

CNN "State of the Union" host Jake Tapper grilled Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on his comments about Muslims in an interview that aired Sunday until his campaign manager off-screen ended the interview.

Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, said last week, "I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation." The comment drew criticism from both Republicans and Democrats.

On Sunday, Tapper asked Carson about his comments.

"I would have problems with somebody who embraced all the doctrines associated with Islam," Carson said. "If they are not willing to reject Sharia and all the portions of it that are talked about in the Quran — if they are not willing to reject that, and subject that to American values and the Constitution, then of course, I would."

Tapper and Carson spent several minutes of back and forth.

"You're assuming that Muslim Americans put their religion ahead of the country," Tapper said to Carson.

"I'm assuming that if you accept all the tenets of Islam that you would have a very difficult time abiding under the Constitution of the United States," Carson replied.

The conversation ended when a voice off-camera, which CNN identified as Carson's campaign manager, Armstrong Williams said, "This interview is over."

I wouldn't vote for a Muslim under current circumstances either.

Especially if he were a Democrat.

Could care less.

Repeal Obamacare.

Cut spending....

Increase taxes on the rich to balance the budget.

Everyone pays 2% FEDERAL...regardless.

I''d vote for that.

The rest...who cares.

He's already answered every conceivable question on the subject, Tapper was just showing his left wing bias, trying to keep the subject alive. He should be fired for that kind of bias.

So he honestly answers questions posed to him and that makes him a spineless coward? I think there is a disconnect with what the opportunity is claiming and what is actually said.

Yes, Hazelnuts can't seem to appreciate diversity in the public arena.

Diversity is one thing.

Voluntarily contracting a dose of herpes is another.

obama STILL doesn't understand economics. obama may be a swell guy and we all know he spent 20 years with his head up his ass at church but we need a change in pace, not another liberal that believes in magic money.

Remember the press is only there to hold Republicans accountable, Progressives get a free pass.
