He is correct in his analysis, but he is also proving he has no business running for President. If you want to win anything, you don’t give your enemy everything they need to destroy you.
I disagree. Anyone conservative that speaks directly to truths of this nation, conservative and constitutional values and a rock solid vision for the country will be vilified anyway. Explaining the problems this country faces is what the GOP is currently afraid of because of the twisted vilification they get by the media. THAT IS THE PROBLEM the GOP has right now. "Welfare, Food Stamps, Housing and Obamaphones don't help the poor improve life for themselves and it certainly doesn't help the country as it is currently managed by the federal government." Can you imagine how a true statement like that would be reported on in the media? Ideologically, Ben is spot on. His unapologetic opinion is genuine and a breath of fresh air. He doesn't care much what others think. He will take on the bashing and is articulate and well spoken enough to take on his critics. He speaks to his own values and most of them match mine.
All that being said, my reason for apprehension about electing Carson for President is different than most here. I read his book. It's very cushy and written in a much different style than he speaks today. The book seems to pander a bit. And it makes me just a bit uncomfortable. The content of the book is great. It's the intended audience and a lot of "Parsing" and "excuses" that seems to bother me a bit. The ideas and message in the book is not as direct as much of his speaking of late. It might be petty on my part. But Mr. Carson is a doctor and as qualified as any other in my opinion. I'll be watching closely.
