please don't hire mark block to manage the campaign.

I live in Louisiana not far from NOLA and I saw my first ever Carson 16 bumper sticker on a pickup yesterday. He clearly has some support.

Herman Cain without the sense humor.

Why is it that conservatives persist in their quadrennial quest for a black presidential nominee? Colin Powell-how has that worked out for us? Herman Cain-how did that work out? Condoleezza Rice-conservative three days a week and liberal four days a week.

Dr. Ben Carson is an estimable man with a stellar resume and, concededly, the right set of values but he has no electoral experience whatsoever and no demonstrated ability to get votes. At best he might be running for vice president but attention and money should not be diverted to his campaign when we have people like Ted Cruz in the wings.

If we have to have an African-American to parade before the cameras to demonstrate, evidently to ourselves alone, that we are not bigots we have Alan West who is a man of accomplishment and demonstrated character at least the equal of Dr. Carson, and a man who can be relied upon for the hard choices.

You can’t “draft” someone who doesn’t want to run for President.

Sadly, Carson is a pro-amnesty centrist:

If you thought the anti-Mormon attacks on RINO Romney were bad, IIRC Carson is a Seventh Day Adventist. That’s a whole different brand of eccentric religious beliefs.

Scientology had L.Ron Hubbard.The SDA version was a “prophet” named Ellen G. White. She plagiarized kooky prophesies from other authors after surviving the miracle of getting hit in the face with a rock.

I like Ben Carson. Don’t always agree with him, but then I’ve found some disagreement with every politician. Guess I’m looking for perfection and there isn’t any in any candidate.

One thing noticeably absent from Dr. Carson’s writings and speeches is foreign policy. What would he do about Russia, China, Iran, North Korea? Would he be tough on our enemies or would he bow down to them like the present occupant of the White House?

I’m not sure Dr. Carson is ready for the presidency. Perhaps a cabinet post or a position of adviser to the president would be more suitable at this time. Maybe with experience he will be a good president. He’s not there yet.

Or Ed Rollins!

Is this right after the Freepers world was back Scott Brown as the next messiah? Or after they were calling Rove a magnificent bastard after the ‘04 election.

Freepers don’t really have the best crowd sourced candidates.

Ben told a close friend of mine he will not run, says he can do much more from the sidelines.

[bert]

The man is coldly rational.There is no BS. He is a brilliant speaker with thoughts when implemented would carry the country back to it’s roots. He makes a wonderful personal point about his road from nothing to top of the heap and then makes a strong devastating political point. The Rat never feels the death stab until it is way too late.

He says that there are several able candidates and if one doesn’t catch fire, he will pray on it. It is my belief that he is running for Health Care czar. He has the program worked out and ready to be implemented. He has been working with unstated others to develop the program. Health care czar ( Sec Dept of Health and Human Services) might not require a brain surgeon for the task, but when the best brain surgeon in the business volunteers, why not take him up on the offer)

Corporate America is promoting him to tackle the Obamacare disaster. My thought is that realizing the disaster must be cleaned up for their own survival,corporate forces are behind him to allow the Presidential race as a stage from which he can be heard delivering his strong healthcare message. No sane Republican President would refuse him the health care position.

Regarding Amnesty, he favors closing the border first.

Ben is a bright light and I’ve attended his speeches.

His folks were out in force at the Colorado GOP State, CD, and HD Assemblies this weekend.

There are several Cabinet positions I’d love to see him in, but I just don’t believe he’s dynamic enough to win at the top of the ticket.

[Colonel_Flagg]

I wish everyone who says Ted Cruz isn’t qualified to be President would just compare him to Carson.
