Dr. Ben Carson is a damn good man but hes not presidential timber. Whos pushing him to even think he could be a presidential contender? My guess is the establishment is in the one calling the shots for the good doctor. I agree with you. As brilliant a surgeon as he is, his political sense is not up to par, and it's hard to believe some cynical GOP-e type isn't behind his "presidential aspirations." He has much to offer the conservative side despite his gun stance.

You're better than that. Read my post up thread. This is purity agit-prop. Otherwise, go back to your cave and horde your cans of beans and leave civilization to the rest of us.

Not “every single stinking thought” but unambiguously supporting our God given, constitutionally guaranteed rights would be nice. I do not consider myself a “purist” because I want elected officials who can read, understand and support the Constitution. I think his reported comment that “it depends on where I live” if I can exercise a supposedly inalienable right is a despicable thing to say. I would not want this guy in any position where he could impact any of my rights.
To: workerbee
You make a point on possibly some Establishment backing for Carson.
Certainly the Establishment intend to see the primary field of candidates flooded, again, conservatives divided among the field, again, and then run their guy up the middle, again, with a flood of big money behind him, again, about the time we hit Florida, again.
This is why one can reasonably wonder if the Republican Party can be changed from the inside, at least before the clock runs out.

It is disturbing to think that anyone would consider this man a contender for POTUS. He makes a few conservative points in a public setting, then stumbles his way through a laughable series of non-conservative admissions, and he has no experience in any office - and yet people want him to be president for what reason? Is this another affirmative action charity case? Is that what we need?
If people want to support and promote a true Black conservative who knows what he’s about, I suggest they get behind Allen West, not this lightweight. A West/Palin ticket, or vice versa, would assuage your conscience if you need diversity, AND it would bring a solid conservative ticket into focus for the first time since Reagan.
Carson is, perhaps, many things admirable, but he’s not presidential, and he’s not steeped in solidly conservative thought.

If it was Carson vs Hitlery in 2016, what would you do?

A lot of people voted for Ross Perot who was pro-abortion and rabidly anti-gun, he wanted to go door to door and confiscate them.

Some have need to be charmed, are unserious and basically a danger to the Republic.
Grown ups know the Constitution and that preserving and protecting it with our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor is fundamental to our survival as a Republic.
Guns are sometimes necessary to guarantee that. Who the H£// calls that “eating your own”, or, “here comes the purists”? Carson blew the question. Simple.
He eliminated himself, we didn’t.

and here come the purists....the holy men who think a candidate has to match their every single stinking thoughts word for word....
And here come the GOP-E cheerleaders making excuses for every flawed candidate there possibly can be.

Citizens should be able to own full auto weapons.
It's legal now if you can afford both the 200 dollar tax and the price of an old gun like a Thompson or a BAR.
They have it set up so only old full auto weapons are allowed so those old weapons command a pretty steep price.

I don’t know but I don’t believe either one will be their party’s nominee.
To: Nachum
I get the feeling that Dr. Carson doesn't know what a "semi-automatic" weapon is.
Dumb question. Dumb answer.
Dr. Carson is not ready for prime time.

I agree about either one being the nominee. I’d vote for Carson if that was to be.
I think Hitlery is going to raise a bunch of money and then make an excuse not to run. Then she’ll pocket most of the money.

No, he’s not. I’d vote for him in a second if he was up against Hitlery.

If we want a 100% pro-second amendment candidate, Condi Rice.
Condi and Alan West or Palin, doesn't matter who is at the top of the ticket.

"Anyone who was going to vote for someone because he made one decent speech needs to have his/her head examined."
Could not agree more. The Great Pretender currently occupying the White House confirms your concerns in spades.

Yes and this same way of thinking earned us Obama for 8 years and cost us SCOTUS (most certainly) for generations!
The all to real stupidity of you who wanted only a pure conservative when ANY ONE of the conservative candidates would not have assured the life and reality we live in now.
ThANKS IDIOTS!

So you’d vote for any smart moderate as your candidate for president?
