This may indeed be true and I truly like and respect the man, however, he has left-over liberal/socialist ideas that prevent me from supporting him, i.e. read what he had to say about Trayvon Martin, gun rights, crime and law enforcement, etc.

Appearing on Glenn Beck's radio show this past week, Carson took a vastly different stance from most conservatives on the issue of gun control, claiming you shouldn't be able to own semi-automatic weapons in large cities.

Ted Cruz for president.

There are many good — even great — people who just aren’t cut out for politics, much less the presidency. Dr. Carson is one of them, IMO.

Dr. Carson would make a good Surgeon General in the Walker/Cruz administration.

I dont agree that Clinton was impeached for having an affair, mind you he was never fit for office.

Ken Star was a wonderful Christian man just trying to get to the bottom of things, Clinton`s obstructed every step of the way.

If anything the affair probably helped Clinton

I like Ben Carson, but have some questions, I suspect? he would be better than Romney

If it`s true that he was on wrong side of Trayvon Martin etc,troubling

Unsure about were he stands on Mike Brown...Clear to me in this case that Officer Wilson is innocent

To add to the speculation, Carson officially switched parties from registered independent to Republican, though he’s long sided with the GOP.

So what? He is weak on guns and horrible on amnesty, and is prone to saying things that, while true, leave him open to being framed by the media. BenDontRun.

He comes across as an automaton.

He's as exciting and animated as a bowl of soggy, luke-warm Uncle Ben rice.

Why do so many folks here get all ga-ga over him?

I hope he finds a more productive way of promoting conservative ideas than running for president. That circus act is already promising to be a Charlie Foxtrot. Everyone wants to be king of the hill without paying the price to get there, like Obama.

This is pure instinct.
I was curious and stopped to watch him.
No support.
Ben Carson is no Thomas Sowell.

I’ve never understood the fascination with this guy in terms of presidential timber.

There a lot of things about neurosurgery I’ll never understand. There are some things about the second amendment Dr. Carson will never understand. The difference is, I’m not proposing to do surgery.

Dr Carson is unwilling to study history, and doesn’t believe in the Founder’s wisdom with regard to the 2nd Amendment.

Dr Carson is unwilling to do the tough work of running for an office he could actually get elected to in order to gain valuable experience.

He seems to want to run for a donor-funded popularity tour to monetarily enrich himself, knowing that he has zero chance of ever being elected president, but a great chance of raising his speaker fees and the price of any subsequent book contracts.

Campaigns like this are a distraction. They waste time, donor cash, effort, and momentum.
It’s been done, and the only ones to benefit are the “candidates” and their handlers.

No thanks.
