Former pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson this week defended research he published in 1992 that involved fetal tissue, arguing that his use of brain tissue from aborted fetuses was not equivalent to Planned Parenthood's practice of providing specimens to third-party tissue companies after performing abortions
So was Newt Gingrich and so was Rick Santorum. and yet Mitt Romney won.
You know that I was not referring to donated cadavers.
Don't be a putz.
I am sure he is a really nice man, but when you have a bull dozer and a constitutional expert on the marquee ...
Actually it was Perry who was leading the Polls at this time in 2011. So is Trump Perry or is Trump Romney?
He is running on his faith and not his religion. There is a difference. I have looked at the beliefs of the Seventh Day Adventist and there is a bigger difference between Catholicism and Presbyterian than Adventist and Presbyterian.
Trump is Trump and where Rick Perry was “at this time” in 2011 is irrelevant to my point.
Then I guess I don't get your point. I asked how Carson is working for the GOPe and not just trying to win and you come up with this Newt Gringrich, Rick Santorum nonsense from 2011. Then you tell me 2011 is irrelevant to your point after you used it first. Being a Trump supporter must involve a whole lot of convoluted logic.
No comparison. Trump never worked on aborted fetus parts.
And yet he wants to continue funding the organization that does the abortions themselves.
Negative. He has no chance of being President and he knows it. His best shot is a VP slot (and he has already let that slip in a Freudian sense incidentally) and that means he has to align himself with either Trump or Bush. I see him going after Trump. I don’t see him going after Bush. Why go after Trump and not Bush? It’s pretty clear to me that he has aligned himself with Bush and sees him as being his best chance to get an office in the Whitehouse. As the campaign advances, and the ankle biters are knocked out of the race, what I’m describing will be increasingly evident. Though the logic may not be obvious to simpler minds, I assure you, it isn’t convoluted.
Ben’s liberal views:
Make alternative fuels, not war:
Whether America’s ensuing steps into war in Afghanistan and Iraq will be seen as positive or negative remains to be seen, but I can’t help thinking there may have been a better way to react that would not have cost us so many lives and financial capital. I believe that if the president had seized the moment and declared that we would become petroleum independent within the next ten years as part of our effort to strip terrorism of its resources, that business, industry, academia, and everyone else would have been foursquare behind him, and we would have been much further ahead in the fight against terrorism than we are today...an enormous number of jobs likely would have been created in the process of switching over to a new energy source, and Wall Street would have been booming; third, the environmentalists would have been ecstatic; and fourth, but most importantly, the terrorists would have been deprived of much needed funding, which would have gradually strangled their efforts. (From America the Beautiful.)
Stop the deportations:
Even today we exploit our fellow human beings for work. Is it moral for us, for example, to take advantage of cheap labor from illegal immigrants while denying them citizenship? I’m sure you can tell from the way I phrased the question that I believe we have taken the moral low road on this issue. Some segments of our economy would virtually collapse without these undocumented workers—we all know that—yet we continue to harass and deport many individuals who are simply seeking a better life for themselves and their families. (From his 2012 book, America the Beautiful.)
He apparently feels Elizabeth Warren was right about everything:
The stock market crash of 1929 exacted a severe toll on the people of our nation and our legislators realized, in hindsight, that some of our banking and investment policies had contributed to the crash. Several laws were crafted, including the Glass-Steagall Act, which separated commercial and investment banking activities. Sixty to seventy years later we forgot about many of the horrors of those difficult financial times as well as the reasons why we imposed appropriate regulation on speculative financial activity involving private resources. (From One Nation
People don’t kill people, handguns kill people:
I realize that some feel the United States and other world powers with nuclear weapons have no right to declare that others cannot have them. On the surface this seems like a fair argument, but can you imagine how many deaths would occur if everyone were given a handgun? Perhaps it would be fair to give everyone a handgun, but it certainly would not be wise. (From America the Beautiful.)

he needs to be handled tactfully.
That says volumes to me. Scratch Dr. Ben
And I guess you don't understand how money is fungible, but that is a favorite tactic of you Trump lovers.
His faith and religion are intertwined. Ask him about Ellen White. SDA is arguably a modern borderline cult with Christian strains, like Mormonism and JW but closer to Orthodoxy than either of those. If one can vote for Romney, one can vote for Carson. Presbyterianism is a bona fide Protestant denomination that came out of the reformation. As such, it has much more in common with Orthodoxy than the SDA.
