She certainly did!
“What an idiotic thing to post, comparing a Governor who was the GOP vice presidential candidate in 2008 and who has 20 years in elective politics and who has held many elected offices and has never run for president, with two people who are fake politicians that want to start at president for their first election.”
Then we agree on Carson.
How you could be so confused about him that you compare him to Palin, is baffling, him and also Buchannon.
We can not want it to happen, but we can do absolutely nothing to stop it, even on FR we fought over every candidate. Until all those wannabees can set down together and decide who and what strategy will have the best shot at winning, we will indeed again have a Romney, Bush, McCain, Dole, candidate.
“...however, this man has gotten to where he is by a very disciplined approach to living with humility. ...”
One thing about neurosurgeons is that they tend to have a great respect for life - even imperfect life - given the nature of their work on injured brains. The humanist Obamacare typical would make neurosurgeons unemployed.
Worked out pretty much the way I said it would. New World Order like father, like son.

Maybe I’m “so confused” in your eyes.
Maybe I’m not “so confused” in the eyes of others.
Given the same alternatives, I'd vote for Bush again.
"I simply reject this whole notion of absolutely positively needing political experience."
Why not? There's really no skill or ability necessary in dealing with a hostile press, convincing the public to support your agenda, or working with a recalcitrant congress. You don't need any of that "prior performance" stuff to inform your decision making.
You are unquestionably confused about the facts of your ridiculous comparison.
Ben Carson sees rights as being given by the government to the people. What the government gives, the government can take away. According to Carson, living in what he determines to be a bad place is enough to lose all of your rights.
Ben Carson clearly doesn’t understand where rights come from (God), or that rights aren’t gifts of government largess.
I would never vote for someone like that - he is either willfully ignorant or is willing to suppresss the rights of the people for his own gain.
Either way, he’s bad news.
Since he agrees with people in those departments and since Carson says that guns don’t belong in homes in crowded areas, he won’t be defunding or firing anyone.
He will work to get more funding for anti-gun programs, not less.
Ben Carson is the anti-2A dream candidate.
your assumption is unfounded. he is not an anti gun wacko that will aggressively work to try to eliminate guns.
He has already said that people in inner cities shouldn’t have guns.
Someone who is informed about the Bill of Rights would never say something like that.
An informed person knows where rights come from - they come from God and are non-negotiable.
Carson believes that rights are given and can be taken by the government. He’s either ignorant or much, much worse.
Anyone who tells you that your rights derive from anywhere other than God is very bad news.
He has had a lifetime to educate himself, and has chosen not to.
At best, he’s going to run on donor cash (other people’s money) as a distraction who wants to increase book sales and speaker fees.
Bad news either way.
I think you missed that you and I agree on the last point.
Oh...well all right then.
My point was that it was, is, and will be possible in the future to have a Republican president with a Democrat Congress, which makes the Presidency important.
If he ends up taking primary votes from stronger conservative candidates, foe.
