Carson has made some really non-conservative statements, so he is dead to me, as is Rand.

I will find any choice a bit difficult if Cruz isn’t in the mix

Carson has made some really non-conservative statements

Conservatives need to wake up and quit jumping on the feelgoodism bandwagons. INVESTIGATE THE GUY/GAL BEFORE JUMPING ON THE BANDWAGON.

In 2008, it was Thompson who was the darling. Few bothered to look beyond him TV persona. It took me 3 minutes to find that he not only supported McCain's Campaign Finance Reform, but he also helped write it as chair of the committee -- it was intially called Thompson-McCain-Feingold.

Carson may have overcome, but he his a 'radical' history. Investigate that! Is he a conservative or another pseudo-conservative?
