I’m going to a charity dinner in September, at which Dr. Carson is scheduled to be the keynote speaker. I’m looking forward to Hearing from him.

Herman Cain was brought down by that girl who Gloria Allred dug up, who claimed he reached up her dress and all that crap. Just wondering what character assassination will be used against Dr. Carson.

Dr. Ben Carson's hints of a potential 2016 Presidential bid have been met with much enthusiasm from the conservative base of the GOP, and leaves us to ponder as to whether it will take a talented and gifted man, outside of the world of politics, to save a nation that has been pummeled by the negative consequences of party politics.

If he is serious about running as a conservative candidate, he could start by not seeking the GOP nomination.

I will certainly consider Dr. Carson. He is very wise and projects great poise and knowlege. Good Man. I will not consider a bush, romney or christie as they are liberal rinos. As for Rubio and Ryan they start very far back. They must renounce their amnesty mistakes of the past with contrition. Perry blew his foot off again with his expressed love of global interventionism. I never knew that. sad. Palin has gone for the bucks. Huckleberry plays great guitar. Who else? Oh yes, Dr. Paul and Senator Cruz Awesome. How lucky we are to have such great real conservatives. If we can just keep the liberals in the contest to split up the paid black vote we might have a shot at a conservative.

While you are listening, please remember that he is no friend of the 2nd Amendment.

He might be able to avoid that accusation if it is brought against him. If he gets to be too popular, they will find or make up something, that you can count on.

Fundamentally the choice is going to be either (D) or (R).With (D) you know what you are going to get...more Marxism. With (R) you are going to get a lot of it too but somewhat slower. Elections have consequences. Remember the SCOTUS will have vacancies.

Herman Cain admitted to much of the story about having a “kept woman”....

Have him announce he's running, wait a bit, and then we'll find out.

Dear Dr. Carson,

Please stay out of it. You don't have a voting record. If you were serious, you'd be running for the US Senate or HOR so you could demonstrate if you have the ability to lead and inspire the US to a constitutional conservative government. We've been stung too many times by people who've talked the talk, but lacked the strength and/or integrity to succeed.

You're most probably being used by the Chamber of Commerce and RNC to divert our attention away from constitutional conservatives who could actually get the job done. Men with a proven record and vision such as Ted Cruz and Jeff Sessions. Wouldn't you be more helpful to our cause by enhancing their stature when you speak and write?

Call me crazy, but I feel that Cain, Bachmann, and Perry were all shot down by the GOP-E, who wanted a Rino candidate.

Oh, fine. ANOTHER dilution of the conservative vote by elitist jerks who think they can pull off a minority win by offending others. You guys never remember what your kind did with Ross Perot’s campaign-of-stupidity. You guys gave the nation Bill Clinton and his trusty sidekicks with your slimeball tactics. Anyone who disagrees with you HAS to be a troll or a liberal-progressive plant, Anyone who disagrees with you is not as good an American as you are. You guys always slam the Republican Party, but you have never given us a viable Conservative candidate or platform. Grow up. Get in the game.

Well, the left will still characterize him as stupid, because he’s a conservative,
and he’ll be viciously racially attacked as well.

I hope he has some thick skin. The press sure won’t be covering for him.

He is ignorant of the RKBA, HOWEVER someone must have educated him because he was heard by people at some speech to say, "the police shouldn't be armed with firearms that the civilians cannot own" in response to manufacturers moving out of anti-gun states and refusing to sell to LEOs in those states that deny citizen the same firearms.

I want to see that quote on the TV before it becomes canon though.

Yeah, we’d support Obama’s policies if he were white,
and won’t support Carson’s policies because he’s black.
