No, your ASS-umption is wrong.

Now by single issue, I meant to say only interested in the social issues, and way too concerned with the President’s personal faith. Certainly it is preferable to have a Bible believing Christian, but frankly, I’m more concerned with which candidate will leave me the heck alone to practice my own walk and run my own life. I figure God can handle the President’s personal faith shortcomings without my interference.

And considering how bad GWB was for born again Chrisitianity - I would think you would want a Mormon or an Adventist to win and do the same for those faiths.....

Why follow two loser RINOs with another loser RINO.

You are welcome to your opinion, whatever it is.

See you walked right into my trap. You assumed, for reasons of poor reading comprehension or FR cognizance disorder that I support Carson. I don’t. I’ll vote for him if he somehow gets the nomination, but he’s not my choice by any means.

It is still a totally failed analogy to call him a classic RINO or analogize him with McCain or Romney. That’s just infantile attempt at serious analysis.

Care to try again?

What he said to Glenn Beck about guns last year was idiotic.

Dear Dr., The constitution applies equally, in rural Vermont and the big city, period. Enforcement of the 2nd amendment is not optional.

But really we shouldn’t be surprised if he has an idiotic position or 2, the guy is a political neophyte. The idea of running him for President is pretty absurd.

Just tell them they put “Matlock” on DVD and they’ll never leave the House.

A bushbot and a commie. Wonderful endorsements.

Carson has done wonderful things with his life and for others but he’s not (conservative) presidential material.

You wouldn’t recognize a RINO if you met one in your back yard.

RINO creep is a disease that dibilitates

“...the guy is a political neophyte...”

He’d need one heck of a team to be effective, that’s for certain. But at least he turns to Hannity. That might sound silly, but Hannity could be one incredible advisor, even if it’s via the talk-radio format.
