Ben Carson is brilliant and kind. Therefore, he has no business running for president.
There is nary a word to be said against Dr. Ben Carson. He is a soft-spoken gentleman of civilized refinement—broadly educated, highly skilled, widely accomplished, and universally respected. And he rose from a background of social adversity and economic deprivation that makes President Obama look like the lost Bush brother.
Thus Ben Carson makes us feel small. By “us” I mean the part of America filled with funk and failure. This is the America where political pundits reside.
We pundits have done our best to cut Ben Carson down to size. But we might as well be George Washington with the cherry tree if George had the body mass index of Kelly Ripa, George’s little hatchet were a butter knife, and the tree a mighty oak.
But George Washington couldn’t tell a lie, and we pundits can. Here, quoted from a recent AP political analysis piece, are two typical failed attempts to throw Ben Carson into the snark tank.
“...a gaffe-prone novice lacking a national profile and any significant political network.”
In other words Ben Carson is a person who says what he thinks, hasn’t spent decades screwing the pooch in Washington or flying his ass from the media flagpole, and he isn’t friends with the pack rats running through the sewers of democracy.

A lot of the surgeons I’ve met are a**holes with magic hands.
“And he doesn’t have a clue what the overseas bouquet of assholes is going to do next because nobody does.”
Ain’t that the truth.
How about President Cruz? Trumpy can be the White House butler.
Who is a relative newcomer and who can be bought by unknown donors unless he comes as part of a Trump package.
Really..... ALL attacked Ted Cruz long before they attacked Donald Trump..
still are attacking him..
AND will continue attacking him(Cruz) after Trump is EXPOSED as the liberal he is..
THAT IS; Until Cruz sets up a Justice Department that disposes JUSTICE..
Where sedition and treason are dealt with harshly..
Even after many of the liberals APPEAR to turn conservative..
Cruz will not be fooled.. and will RESTORE the FBI to it’s past glories..
HUNTING the many of the TOP liberal traitors..
Scaring the Crony Capitalists SPITLESS.. causing Trump to run for President to HEAD-OFF Ted Cruz becoming PRESIDENT..
Heck; some of Trump’s family could go to the slammer.. at least a few of his leftist friends.. many are BILLIONAIRES..
After they RUN to a safe port.. Cruz just may HUNT Them down.. i.e. SOROS.. and about 50 others..
I’m fine with Cruz—but i wouldn’t bet on it.
But he could put Donald in charge of the Fed—or maybe the IRS.
Sounds like a good start.
We don’t need a kum-bay-ah guy in the White House; we need a tough guy. And Carly was the toughest guy on the block in the debate. She was tough on foreign policy, she was tough on illegal immigration and she was tough on restoring the balance of powers as set forth in the Constitution.
Moreover, what she has accomplished in her campaign - against the GOPe and the big money guys - shows that she perseveres and has the fortitude to get the job done.
Right now, I’d like to see a Carly/Carson ticket. Carly for the aforementioned tasks; Carson to bind the racial wounds Obama has orchestrated to such devastating effect.
Talk to Joe Sixpake about Ted, the see him as affected and a bit effeminate. He won’t sell.
Carson is a racial token candidate, end of story.
No white candidate with his resume would be polling above one percent.
Regardless of color, his support for amnesty should make him a non-starter among patriots.
"Eat the Rich"
"Parliament of Whores"
Etc.
That is to say, when Carson gets a baby thrust at him on the campaign tail he’s more likely to check its vital signs than kiss it. He knows enough to talk about things when he knows what he’s talking about. And he doesn’t have a clue what the overseas bouquet of assholes is going to do next because nobody does.
P.J. O’Rourke for Press Secretary! (of this administration, the next or any subsequent one)
Exactly, this primary is awesome and he is one of the reasons why. Not my guy right now but I do know that I’d love it if he becomes a better candidate.
I must agree.
I was for Carson until he made the comments about Afghanistan.
I thought maybe the “quiet Man” was hiding a nuclear personality. I want kumbayah as well...but it ain’t gonna happen in my lifetime.
Mr. O’Rourke, as usual, makes a good point. The federal behemoth will not shrink away without a fight.
Just as well pull the plug. No WAY I'd ever vote for him.
Talk to Joe Sixpack about Ted, the see him as affected and a bit effeminate. He won’t sell.
Joe had better get his brain in gear... get hisself informed..
-OR- he should learn Spanish or CHINESE... he’s gonna need it..
IF Ted Cruz is not elected.. it’s all over but the TACO Tax.. for tacos’s MADE IN CHINA..
TRUMP would run head long into CONGRESS.. that will hate him..
Unless he SPENDS—> like a drunken BILLIONAIRE...
raises taxes increases the SIZE of federal givernment..
To support his Canada style Health care.. and other things he proposes “DOING”..
Things he’s never done before.. don’t have a clue HOW to do them.. AND... would require EVEN MORE GIVERNMENT,,,
Course he(joe) could get a federal JOB.. to parasitize the economy and the treasury even more than he does already..
Since he doesn’t CARE ANYWAY.. about the country only WHAT HE GETS or don’t GET.. Like all democrats and RINOs..
I’m going with Chinese.. Joe should learn chinese..
IF.... he’s not too stupid or lazy..
Mr. O’Rourke, as usual, makes a good point. The federal behemoth will not shrink away without a fight.
The GOPe and other liberals will release power of the federal givernment
ONLY OUT OF THEIR COLD DEAD HANDS..
I’m down with that..
Walker reminds me of Alfalfa.
TRUMP would run head long into CONGRESS.. that will hate him..It's too bad Obama doesn't have that problem. Instead we have Ted Cruz rubber stamping some of the worst bills ever in favor of Obama and Iran.
Ted Cruz is not worthy of holding any office after his rubber stamp of the Corker Bill...
Ted Cruz just might have blood on his hands someday after that bone headed vote.Joe should learn chinese.. IF.... he’s not too stupid or lazy..
Joe will probably learn Chineses before you learn English.
lol. rofl. lol.
