The same reason they don’t call Obama an idiot

“Ben has obviously been coddled for many many years as a Doctor.”

-—I think that is a spot on assessment! Ben is a very nice man, and made a great life for himself, but he has been coddled and like you said, when that happens people’s heads grow beyond their capacity and they start sounding like idiots

What purpose does it serve when we attack and attempt to destroy our own candidates? Isn't that what the Democrats and their MSM propaganda machine do to us on a daily basis?

Ben Carson is not a conservative. His support of amnesty, gun control and TPP to name just three issues, expose him for the Democrat plant he is.

You would see me right behind you.

I used to have to do Chamber of Commerce socials. Finally I told my boss that I would sit on any board or any committee. But going to a “time” was not gonna happen.

It’s called the primaries, and that’s how they work.

Maybe in the present day but not in my time.........

Let me ask you this, who is throwing the crap on the wall and hoping that what sticks will cause controversy within our own party?

Answer: The MSM and the talking points being fed to them by the DNC.

Who is falling for all this crap that remains stuck to the wall:

Answer: All the purists in the Republican party.

There are only two individuals who I support in the upcoming primary but I'll be damned if I'm going to destroy their opponents based on all the crap that the MSM is throwing on the wall........

The MSM has an agenda and that's to destroy every single candidate that is running in our primary in order to pave the way for Hillary Clinton's election and I'm not going to participate in their campaign..........

It’s better to dig up dirt and dispose of it during the primaries than have to deal with it in the election.

Although the attacks on Gingrich by Perry pissed me off last election, I understood the field cannot be narrowed down to the candidate most likely to defeat the Dems by patting each other on the back for a year. Chin up, HT.

To support my argument that the MSM is nothing more than a crap slinging propagandist machine for the DNC that is intent on destroying every one of our candidates until we are left with the one the MSM wants us to choose, I remind you of one individual who for 8 straight years was the "go to" guy the MSM flocked to whenever they wanted to hear GOP party criticism of then President G. W. Bush.........

For eight straight years that individual was none other than "The MAVERICK" John McCain...............

Following the 11/4/2008 election, you have never again heard the MSM refer to John McCain as "The Maverick" John McCain..........

I understand exactly what you are saying but I'm not going to allow the MSM to influence my opinions of the candidates of our party and fall into their plan of taking each and every one out until the candidate of THEIR choice is left.......and that choice will likely be defeated by Clinton.

With an inside line to Jesus (as evidenced by the portrait)How can he fail? And besides, he can always get after Isis with a hammer or knife or throw bricks at them.

Ben Carson’s big ‘sin’ is that he hasn’t spent his whole life learning corruption and clawing his way up the political ladder - the DC way.
Oh lord, he’s not politically ‘cool’...

Mr. Carson rather, has spent his life learning and practicing a tough and important skill - instead of living life as a rabble-rouser who gets rich from corrupt and evil backers who want to tear the country apart (Obama).

How does that make Mr. Carson dumb?

Just because he hasn’t learned to be a corrupt criminal, evading prosecution by whatever means (like Hillary), doesn’t make him dumb and her smart.

Yes, I get that one SHOULD have experience to qualify for POTUS but sheesh, to call him dumb and say he wouldn’t know what he’s doing - after OBAMA (no experience WHATSOEVER)????

Somebody’s really afraid of Ben Carson. The (media) hits just keep a comin’...

Of course Carson isn’t dumb or stupid. He is also not equipped to be President. His support for amnesty, gun control , TPP and death panels are bad enough, but I shudder when I think of him being in charge of keeping us safe.

Even Rush Limbaugh says Carson is not ready to be President.
