“All I can say is that I could not vote for Carson for the same reason I should not have voted for Romney.”
Yeah, I can understand the premise of that. But I would not train muh guns on the doctor. He’s not a establishment candidate as Romney or Bush, or Kasich, or Cristy....etc..
After 2012, and the re-election of Obama, I think it’s the American voter who needs a butt kickin. The GOP as well because they are dissing the base.
The establishment therefore needs to lose this election. Unfortunately they don’t seem to care much.
Carson is a citizen outsider. You have to give him credit for running as a citizen, and the respect he deserves, right, wrong or indifferent on the issues conservatives care about.
Another thing....self identified conservatives run the entire political gamut. It can be irritating, but there really is not a definitive definition.
Trump is a good example of this, He has some conservative views but he is not, in my view a “Conservative”. He seems to have little or no interest in Constitutional issues, like federalism. In fact, everything he says that is seriously popular with the voters seems to me to be anti-federalist as it requires extraordinary executive authority.
Talk about being wary of someone?
IMO there is but one!
Ted Cruz
Cruz embodies everything a Christian Conservative could ask for in a candidate. I would feel confident with him leading our country and I am impressed with all the detailed policy positions he has released. I think he stands on the world stage as a man who commands respect. Our friends would know they could again trust us, and our enemies would know that they must respect us. We haven’t had that in a while.
