Ben Carson sarcastically thanked the mainstream media and several negative stories for a fundraising surge that brought in $3.5 million for the former neurosurgeon this week.

Moreover, many of those donations are small from a huge spectrum of donors who can give over and over again, unlike many of the "bundlers" who tap millionaires and billionaires for other other candidates. That is already making Carson's mailing list the stuff of legend among political professionals and rival campaigns.

Not just them. Several of the GOP candidates still are playing by the old rules. That why their campaigns are in single digits. Like it or not 2008 changed the rules of politics have changed

Epic fail by leftist voters that want what he offers.

Gun grabbing. Statehood for bankrupt leftist countries, amnesty.

I’m not even that big a support of Carson, but I think this is great news.

Cling to your smear bot tactics children. They are working so well for you.

Apparently you don’t realize repeating the same childish personal attack style posting over and over is merely making the rest of us point at you and laugh.

I’m just sittin’ back watchin’ the game play out.

I do not dislike Carson, but I would never vote for him as president.

When you point out where exactly my factual post was a smear with proof of it’s opposite, ping me. Until then, it stands uncontested regardless of how mush lesser evil crap you spout.

Yes. If Trump or Cruz were the target of the smear machine and they posted this news I would be cheering for them.

The DC Political/Media/Business machine is the enemy of all of us. Any time they are defeated is a reason to cheer.

We the People have made 10,000 donations each day this week, raising $3.5M this week alone. Thank you biased media.

Lying is still a sin you know Norm. No matter how “holy” you think your cause there is no excuse to knowing lie about Carson like that.

Trump has accused Carson of looking sleepy. He didn’t look very sleepy yesterday. He took after the press with Trumpian vigor.

He predicted this at his press conference and he was right. It’s nice to work them for a change.

It’s good to see GOP has finally attracted some candidates what won’t follow the liberal media’s rules. I have no doubt the establishment is blind to how much this appeals to the base or the power to win that it brings. Their liberal friends at the beltway cocktail parties would never approve.

Meekness is often misunderstood.

Don’t forget he supports TPP. I get the impression that his followers don’t care about issues, else how could they support him?

Post Bill Clinton’s page. It’s true isn’t it? He never did anything but whats on his page! His page is the truth! All of it!

Not interested in your take on sin considering your desire to defend leftists and lesser evils.

I think voters should say, “This candidate ... will he do what I would do in the position he wants? Will he vote the way I would vote if I were the representative?” and FReep the rest of the garbage.
