The retiree that now wants to become president of the United States.

Carson, Paul and Gowdy support amnesty. Some of his supporters assume he is as conservative as Clarence Thomas.

[867V309]

Carson has some Second Amendment problems.

[House Atreides]

“...Armstrong Williams, Mr. Carson’s business manager and closest adviser,... complained that Run Ben Run exists “to benefit the people that run it, not the Ben who’s running.”...”

And that, my FReeper friends, is frequently the case with these groups run by political professionals (professional in the sense that that is where they make their living and not in the sense that they are any damned good).

It would be very interesting to see who put these folks up to this. Remember, the “split the vote” strategy is alive and well among the GOPe RINOs.

This whole Ben Carson for President thing is getting really old.

[DoodleDawg]

I don’t think we would support [Texas Sen. Ted] Cruz because I don’t think he can win.

And he truly thinks that Carson can? Nut job.

[boycott]

Karl Rove and Jeb say, “Hi 5!!!”

They want nothing more than for conservatives to split their vote in the primaries. Rove and Jeb would also like to see Huckabee, Santrorum, and a few other so-called conservatives run.

Carson has ZERO chance of winning. He will only help split conservative voters so that we can have another McCain/Mitt type lose in the general election.

Armstrong Williams, Mr. Carson’s business manager and closest adviser, whose nickname for his friend is “Seabiscuit,” complained that Run Ben Run exists “to benefit the people that run it, not the Ben who’s running.”

Isn't that ALWAYS the case? Tea Party Patriots, TPNN and TeaParty.net are such scams as well

[rrrod]

Not sure why...but something doesnt quite fit for me about Carson...

[Principled]

I’m not unconvinced that this is not an unreadable headline.

[Colonel_Flagg]

The media would TRY to fry Ted Cruz. But like Reagan, Cruz has a message that goes over the media and straight to people.

[upsdriver]

I’m not going to dismiss Dr. Carson out of hand. Let him make his case to the American people. Primaries exist for that purpose. As far as political experience, most voters are sick to death of political experience, which often translates into personal profiteering far more than serving.

[Bratch]

IMO, if someone had the resources to fully investigate the groups backing a Ben Carson for President campaign, the money trail would eventually lead to Karl Rove.

[Regal]

I think there are two kinds of candidates to be wary of: 1).the one who dreams of being president and 2). the one you have to “draft”. I’d prefer a candidate who reluctantly realizes that they are the only one who can execute his/her ideas, so they take on the chore, and work like a dog at it.
