The Ben Carson Factor.We Need A Black American On The 2016 Ticket. All Agreed?

[Cruz_West_Paul2016]

It sure looks like Ben Carson is running. And if we want to win in 2016, we need to take a good chunk of the black vote. Ben Carson can "Woo Black Voters" into the Republican Party. All he has to do is tell them the truth regarding how Dem's actually feel about them. More like using them as pawns. Adding Ted Cruz to the ticket would be our best bet. Now we have a "Black/Latino Ticket". The Carson/Cruz or Cruz/Carson ticket is considered a Dream Ticket for many conservatives. That's the ticket that will bring in lots of minority voters. We could nominate the Dream Ticket of "Walker/Pence, or Walker/Cruz",but it wont be a sure thing in Blue States. Any combination of Carson/Cruz/West is still our best bet in 2016.

go ahead and run Jeb, he wont get passed Cruz!

I want the best 2 conservatives who can get ELECTED on the ticket, sex, race, ethnicity be damned....

[HarleyLady27]

I want someone who can handle a budget; put a fence up around our borders; do away with the IRS; put lawless politicians in jail; listen to the American people; do their job the right way; tell the lobbyists to go to hell; tell people that live here if they don't like it here, don't let the door hit ya in the ass on the way to the boat out of here; someone who can tell the rest of the world to kiss off and fight their own battles; and someone who can be smart, decent, Christian, believe in the Almighty; and someone that will bring ALL our troops home where they belong; someone that will bring jobs and economy back to America; someone who will tell the Unions to go to hell and quit taking monies for political RATS; that should just about cover it....you find someone like that, and I'll think about it.....

Now THAT’S a lineup I could get behind - especially Mark Levin as attorney general!

[PubliusMM]

Here’s a thought...how about we go with the best qualified, most articulate, most conservative candidate? If he/she happens to be black, (hat tip to Hitlery...) what difference does that make?

We can stop the politics of race if we stop pandering to the politics of race.

[Savage Beast]

Yes. How about two!

[ibheath]

Ben just said that he doesn’t think those living in cities should be able to own semi automatics. Only those living in rural areas. He gets a big NO from me for future elections.

[EternalVigilance]

I vote NO.

[manic4organic]

Excellent. Can I steal that?

[Doomonyou]

We need two CONSERVATIVE TEA PARTY Candidates who can deliver a clear and concise conservative message. You know, we are all Americans? They need to ignore all the race/sex crap. Anytime the question comes up, revert to that. Don’t fall into the DNC/LiB media crap.

[Doomonyou]

That. Is. Awesome. I’m not even going to ask if I can steal it, it’s Gone!

Allen West has the advantage of military service.

[RightGeek]

I can claim no personal credit. "Biffspackle" posts his stuff at Doug Ross's blog at http://directorblue.blogspot.com

Here's another personal favorite:

[Doomonyou]

You guys are kidding yourselves if you think he can win. What has he run successfully as an executive? It's an honest question. He may have run several businesses and organizations and I am just unaware.

There is an idiot in the white hut that got elected and never ran anything as an executive that got elected that couldn't wax Carson's shoes. "Community organizer" is not a real job. Carson is a real live candidate with real experience.

[Doomonyou]

I like it!

[RightGeek]

See my post 133 in this thread.

[warsaw44]

No - I do not agree at all.

We need the most qualified Conservative for the job.

Who gives a damn what the person looks like!

So damned sick and tired of this crap. Go with the most qualified possible in all situations: heart surgeon, plumber, president - what that person looks like is immaterial.

[rlmorel]

Why do we need a “black” candidate?

Don’t we need a “conservative” candidate? Or, are we just in a position where we need to say “Here’s our black candidate!”

That attitude is just wrong, IMO.

[TChad]

Wow. Talk about a dream team.

[98ZJ USMC]

Disagree. Carson needs to run for Congress and we ABSOLUTELY could use a woman named Palin on the ticket.
