"Proudfoot said other conservative may be more focused on backing Carson because of his fierce opposition to abortion and give him a pass on the boardroom matters."

Both CostCo and Kellogg donate millions of dollars worldwide to fund abortion, to include Planned Parenthood. The title of this thread should read...

"Carson's boardroom support for gay rights and funding for abortion could test his base"

Carly Fiorina has the exact same problem. HP voted one of the best places in the world for the LBGT crowd to work. HP also gives millions to Planned Parenthood.

There is no such thing as “gay rights” unless you are a homoNazi (same thing.)

Actually, I think his support for gun control will be the cause of his fall.

Carson's boardroom support for gay rights could test his base

Unfortunately for the Attack bots, this line of attack is failing miserably with his base.

"I think he has to explain this," said Tony Perkins, president of the Christian conservative lobbying group Family Research Council...

Back to the drawing board Rove bots. This one is not working.

The first time my eyes slashed over that headline, I read it as: "Carson's bedroom support for gay rights could test his base...

...and I thought to myself: I'll bet it could...

I think there are quite a few things Carson needs to explain. Here is a sample...

1. His relationship to Al Sharption
2. His and is staff's views and relationship to Louis Farrakhan and NOI
3. His previous positions on Gun Control
4. Previous support of Abortion
5. Support of forced vaccinations
6. Support for open borders...

The MSM fundamentally misunderstands conservative views towards gays. Conservatives have no problem if a private business wants to hire gay people, or serve gay customers, or give the same benefits to gay employees as straight employees. Where conservatives have a problem is when the government steps in and forces businesses against their will to take such actions.

Carson’s statement at the debate was a good one. I think this is a tempest in a teapot, because Carson (if he were to be elected) would not discriminate against Christians and would in fact be a friend.

OTHER CONCERNING ISSUES ON BEN CARSON:

BEN CARSON - ON MEDICAL CARE FOR THE ELDERLY
(He’s for a panel to decide which seniors deserve life saving treatment/end of life care, and which ones don’t)

[[Our mindset is to automatically pull out all medical stop - even if that means literally torturing loved ones during their last few months of life. What if rather than always putting terminally ill patients in intensive care units - where we poke, prod, test, and operate ad nauseum - we allowed most people the dignity of dying in relative peace and comfort, at home, surrounded by loved ones, with hospice care or some other medical attendant if necessary?

Agreement on who should be treated and who should not be treated would require an extensive national discussion that could hopefully result in some helpful basic guidelines. Obviously any such guidelines should allow for flexibility and choice. And decisions should be based not merely on age but on the viability of the patient. (From his 1999 book, The Big Picture.)]]

BEN CARSON - ON THE ABORTION PILL
When asked if he would support abortion in the case of incest or rape, Dr. Carson said, “I would hope that they would very quickly avail themselves of the emergency room, and in the emergency room, they have the ability to administer RU-486 and other possibilities before you have a developing fetus.”

RU-486 is an abortifacient that kills a fertilized egg by artificially denying it the ability to attach to the uterine wall. Using Dr. Carson’s own standard of life beginning at conception, this would then constitute murder. (Politico)

Well, there you go trying to bring logic into it.

I think it's been pretty conclusively proven that the primaries aren't about the candidates' records, it's all about who can talk the toughest for a few months before the election.

If being an actual conservative with a strong record of supporting our values actually meant anything, we wouldn't have a reality tv star at the top of our polls. But here's to hoping.
