Carson, one would hope, will force the Republicans to step out of their bubble of protection, and peek around their shield of denial
Dr. Benjamin Solomon Ben Carson, Sr. is a fantastic human being. Hes a retired neurosurgeon that has the distinction of being the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins joined at the head. Hes also an author, and now he has decided to be a politician that isnt a politician.
Carsons claim to fame, the moment that he truly stood in the spotlight, is not connected to his life as a neurosurgeon. It all began at a prayer breakfast where Carson, like a plumber named Joe many years before, dared to question Barack Obama, and in the process forced the uninformed voters out there to be exposed to another onion layer of President Obamas tyranny. Hes not a king, Carson said after a member of the media asked him if he should be talking in such a disrespectful way to the President of the United States. Ben Carson suddenly became a Republican sweetheart, a favorite among many, because he was among the very few folks out there with the eyes of the public on them, that was willing to challenge Barack Obama, and call the dictator in chief exactly what he is.

When someone says prisoners go into prison straight and come out gay, they are not prepared to run for President. They don’t come out gay. They simply, brutally take advantage of what’ around.
I’m amazing and have never run for office. Vote for me!!
Carson has already had several incidents of tripping over his own tongue. That usually doesn’t bode well, especially for OJT presidential wannabes.
Unlike Obama, Carson is not going to have a fawning Media cleaning up after him and propping him up.
Carson should spend some time talking to Herman Cain in private and find out what may be coming his way.
Hallelujah! Ben Carson Joined the Fray

Hallelujah?? While you are shouting Hallelujah, I’ll be over here stifling a yawn.
I do not support Carson - but the catty infantile little snaps by some freepers are totally uncalled for - given the character of the man.
Another great guy who won’t win. His voice is welcome in the fray.
The one statement he made that I completey agree with is the one about how Polticians NOW think that they are there to “Govern” the people. But Politicians are actually supposed to REPRESENT the people.
We need more policians that want to Represent and not “govern”.
I don’t see Carson as a serious candidate. I know he’s a brilliant neurosurgeon who has an incredible life story but he’s too soft-spoken and nowhere near ready for prime time in a political arena.
It’s not like there aren’t several qualified real conservatives already to choose from. Pure ego on Carson’s part, and the conservative equivalent of affirmative action on the part of his supporters.
Don’t see them as catty or infantile, more like truthful, but that’s me
I agree. But he wants to challenge the champ without any warm-up fights. And it would be a knockout, imho.
I agree. He should be welcomed to the conversation. Who knows what stumbles and gaffes lie ahead for the supposed frontrunners.
Because he’s black...........
.........He’s ANTI-GUN and ANTI-SELF DEFENSE !!!
Screw him.
That’s a quibble and misses his point.
Duress can facilitate choosing... that means choosing can be part of the picture.
Truth is ALWAYS salutory for a would be official.
A baseless broad-brush accusation.
