Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon turned conservative star, has confirmed that he will seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2016.
Carson, who has never run for public office, is expected to be the only high-profile African-American to enter the GOP’s presidential primary as he tries to parlay his success as an author and speaker into a competitive campaign against established politicians.
“I’m willing to be part of the equation and therefore, I’m announcing my candidacy for president of the United States of America,” he said in an interview aired Sunday night by Ohio’s WKRC television station.
He is set to make a more formal announcement during a speech from his native Detroit on Monday.

I may be wrong, but I'll be consistently wrong, because I have a set of fixed values. Things like “Killing babies is always wrong”
.......................................................
This thread is really bringing out some lunacy from freepers. Your comment seems to imply that Dr. Carson is pro choice. Could you back it up with a link or any rational reason you chose to associate him with killing babies/
Just the lunacy of liberals determined to find any other candidate but Cruz.
I don't know specifically whether he approves of abortion, but my point was that I have a distinct list of rules.
Perhaps I should have used his lack of support for the 2nd amendment instead. Same list of principles. That is one of my principles, too.
Romney failed so badly, I don't think he made even one of five.

Trump this wise ass:
(from Nov.2014)
“Perhaps I didn’t convey it appropriately,” he said. “I wanted to convey that, you know, I’ve lived in urban areas. I’ve worked in urban areas. I’ve seen a lot of carnage, and I’d prefer a situation where the kinds of weapons that create that kind of carnage don’t fall to the hands of criminal elements or insane people. But that is secondary to the desire to always defend the Second Amendment.”
Carson said that “under no circumstances” would he “allow a bureaucrat to remove any law-abiding citizen’s rights for any kind of weapon that they want to protect themselves.”
Walkbacks mean people people said things and didn’t believe in what they said strongly enough to defend them lib.
Your lesser evil crap ain’t gonna play here this season like it did last time.
So why the hell infer that he’s pro choice?
Reprehensible given that he is as pro life as one could be.
And you trump that with a lie about the second amendment.
Awful.
I know who I want for a candidate, and I don't want the GOP-E, or the lamestream media, or you to select the candidate for me without some pushback.
Lots of people talk. Few put down the money required.

Carson loses.

hey I thought you couldn’t find anything about it? I guess you werent telling the truth. You found something to try defending against it. Soooo...was that a regular lie or a ‘Lets argue with Normie because we are still pissed about Romney” lie?
(and you really need a pastime as far as the lesser evil comment goes. I'd guess you have a hate list going back to grade school. Feel good to be perfect?)
Sounds like a damn good reason to keep the bastards locked up.
Give it time folks...those praising Ted Cruz now will disown him before the primaries are over. One thing I’ve learned, if a candidate isn’t perfect on every last position, they will be disowned...even by those who once praised them.
And no, I’m no Ben Carson fan, just pointing out that even Ted Cruz will do something, say something, believe something that some on this very forum disagree with, and BAM...his saint status will disappear in the blink of an eye. Don’t doubt it for a second. We’ll destroy each and every last candidate we have...no matter how Conservative they are TODAY.
He said what he said. Then he walked it back. Are you calling Carson a liar?
I didn’t lie. I made a claim and proved it. So who is lying? Be that proved mu assertion with the mans own words or you trying to walk your crap back by again making it personal like you have so many times in the past with me lib?
I found the article trumping your lie because I was willing to look for it. I am still waiting for you to provide a link to story after Nov. 2014 to back up your lie.
Mitt Romney said he was anti abortion and pro and anti and pro...
Carson had to flip flop under pressure. Deal with it.
see post #50. And stop inferring that men who are pro life are pro choice. Is it that tough to say that was a mistake?
And again, What lie lib?
Says the man screaming LIAR! in light of facts he doesn’t like...
There’s an open Senate seat in MD next year. Why the Hell doesn’t he run for it?
Just grow up man. You’re disturbed.
