CDZ Fellow Conservatives, let's discuss Ben Carson together.

[PredFan]

Hopefully free of left wing interference.

I like Ben. I also have a great deal of respect for him. He's more conservative than the several of the other front-runners. Again as with Fiorina, he isn't perfect. There is no candidate that I agree with 100% but I would be more than willing to pull the lever for him than several of the others.

I like that he did not back down from his comments about muslims and shariah. He gained big time points with me for that. Say what you mean, mean what you say and don't be a pussy like so many other GOP candidates are.

I'm not upset by his inexperience in politics. I'm hoping that he is as smart as I think he is and he will surround himself with smart people, and do good work.

He appears to be an honorable and decent man who loves this country. my only real knock and the only reason he isn't "my guy" is I'm not sure of his knowledge and respect for the Constitution.

And let's talk about the elephant in the room too. He's a black man. That can't hurt us.

I really haven't done much more research on him. I'm looking forward to some of you trying to sell me on him.

He's at this point hovering around my #3 choice.

 

[Asclepias]

He is not really Black. He is an uncle tom with grants him honorary white status....at least until he serves his purpose.

Did you say that shit about your mulatto president who REALLY IS an uncle Tom, by BLOOD...if you get my drift?

 

[Vigilante]

Ben's my #3 also, and I certainly could vote for him with no reservations!

Fellow Conservatives: Let us ignore unhelpful attacks by the left here. especially racist ones like the above. Let them get no response and leave.

 

[PredFan]

And I forgot to mention that IMO, we are already at war with Islam. We need a wartime POTUS. Carson may not appear to be a war-time POTUS, but at least he can name the enemy.

It will never happen with them, so just be prepared to swat them down. Ben's only fault is that he's a true gentleman, talks in a low, refined voice which many take as weakness, the opposite of the Trumpnado, whose brashness, and bravado make many friends, and enemies at the same time!

Wow. He's not allowed to follow his own mind? Thanks for showing us what's wrong with the left.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Ben is awesome! I hope you succeed in nominating him. Best of luck.

You and I both see that as a good sign, I'm sure there are others as well. Unfortunately, there may not be enough of them.

Not helpful. What is it about him that is awesome?

 

[Iceweasel]

I like him but he makes too many unforced errors. Not so much as mistakes but learning how to parse your words, like a politician. If he gets the nod I'll vote for him in a heartbeat.

You can only lead voters to the booth, unfortunately you can't be their BRAIN when they vote!

Ben is every conservative's number three, it seems. That sounds like a winner.

Isn't that precisely why we like the top of the roster, they ARE NOT politicians, but REAL people like us, that have independent ideas, and supporting policies?

Are you kidding? He slapped down Obama at his own prayer breakfast.....which catapulted him to fame and paved the way for his run. That was awesome.

Then....he said that gay people aren't born gay.......because lots of prisoners do gay stuff. That means it's a choice. That was awesome.

He failed to correct Trump when he said that vaccines cause autism in debate number two. As a medical professional....that's super awesome.

Finally.....he said he a Muslim shouldn't be allowed to become POTUS. But later walked it back to say that a Muslim who wanted sharia shouldn't be POTUS. Two different things............but you think he didn't back down. That is REALLY awesome.

He's the best!

Yes, but he doesn't need to convince us.

Difficult to get all the spin and lies in that post!

No lies, dummy. I know my Ben. He's the best.

As incredible as it seems to intelligent and logical people, there are actually people who agree with these totally wacko things he has said.

Be aware the link is from AlterNet. My hope is that his fans can either respond to what he said or prove he didn't really say it cuz folks, the last thing we want in the WH is someone who is THIS clueless.
