In a Facebook post following his interview with CNN’s “New Day,” Dr. Ben Carson issued a statement, apologizing for saying people who change their sexual orientation after going to jail shows that “being gay is a choice.” […]
“I support human rights and Constitutional protections for gay people, and I have done so for many years. I support civil unions for gay couples, and I have done so for many years. I support the right of individual states to sanction gay marriage, and I support the right of individual states to deny gay marriage in their respective jurisdictions,” Carson said.
During the CNN interview, Carson indicated that civil issues like same-sex marriage should be left up the states.

I think Ben forgot to consult the SUPREME AUTHORITY on the matter before spouting off such anti-God rhetoric. God will not be mocked, even by a famous surgeon.

Well, there he goes. Not going to support him now.
It's incredible how so many conservatives rush to embrace presidential wannabees without any thought or instinct as to their experience plus their ability to garner votes, organize effective campaign infrastructures and attract heavy contributions on a nation-wide basis....i.e., the Herman Cains, the Rick Sanctus-Santorums, the Rand Paulettes, etc. come to mind....not to mention hopefuls such as Fiorino, Trump, Pataki and the Huckster.
They just don't hold up under the long haul.
It was only a matter of time before the inexperienced Carson imploded from the gays taking him out. If the gay lobby can intimidate Carson, can Putin be far behind?
Bye, bye, Ben.....you obviously didn't know that without firmly espousing clearly-defined and long-held moral/cultural/family standards everything sooner or later comes out in the swish.
