I didn’t say “elective” experience, I said government experience.

The meaning of is is.............?

I’ve worked for the government in four different categories, none of which were an elected position.

I might be wrong, but I think the rest of the country has had enough of the California donor class. I mean you get a reasonable seeming candidate, then some Log Cabin Libertarian-Republican-Whig micro-offended (but only every other Tuesday) amnesty whore donor or five gets a hold of them and the next thing you know they are spewing all this weird crap like Linda Blair with pea soup!

I don’t think it’s so much that Carson is black as it is that he has integrity and doesn’t seem to be clinically insane.

And a straw poll like this means very little...which is
why The Hill is trying to make it a big deal.

And here’s an earlier posting from Politico making a splash out of it.

All of them. You’ve got Cruz today saying how wonderful all of our lives will be if President Obama gets fast track authority in that big trade deal nobody is allowed to give the public the particulars about.

Gosh. I wonder what sent Ted Cruz’ poll numbers down so fast?

You don’t think conservatives caught wind of that fast track trade thing, do you?

We have NEVER had a president without government experience. Not one.

We've had generals with no prior political experience.

You know , this wouldn't be a bad final three.

How is it his fault?

Could it be because he VOTED for it? Because he took to the media and flakked for it?

Selling out the middle class for dear leader’s secret trade deal might cause polling problems among conservatives. That whole “pass it so you can see what’s in it” thing.

You forgot your “30 pieces of silver” rant. You’re slipping.

Carson is a good man and probably a great man in the medical
world, but to hand over the reins of the country to this man? Cruz or Walker are far more qualified.

We mostly had lawyers as presidents. May be a doctor knows how to cure whats ailing the country.

Cruz’s main problem is not that he is not a great candidate.
Cruz is a great conservative candidate. But what wins election more than anything else is likability. Cruz’s main problem is candidates like Rubio and Carson and even Walker are more likable to political neophytes (which is most Americans).

I don’t believe the majority of presidents have been lawyers. But if so, so what? Do you actually want an individual who has never held office, worked for government or anything similar in charge of the world’s only superpower and largest economy? And why this particular doctor? Because he’s black?

My best guess as to why Carson is popular is because people are sick of career politicians.
