The double standard makes Carson’s silly goofy things look out of proportion to what they are and what is important (IMHO). I, personally, would much rather have had Carson as my president with all his goofy views, his SDA error of equating Jesus with Michael the archangel and whatever else he may believe, than to have our current resident in the White House. I believe the damage would have been far less to our nation. I believe the media has influence on the American public that is detrimental. People are so used to it they forget it affects their thinking. Remember, a lot of people would have voted for Romney with his LDS beliefs and his universal healthcare program even though they disagreed with him because they knew he, with all his goofiness in these areas, was probably better than Obama. Did the media save the day for Obama? I’ll leave that for you to figure out.
OK fine. I'd rather have Carson as President too. But this is the primary, and Carson has repeatedly shown himself to be not ready for primetime, and it looks like he has an issue with wacky religious and historical beliefs, and another issue with telling the truth. Both of those things I find indefensible. They don't make him evil, but they make him a poor candidate.
I'd rather this come out now and disqualify him than after the nomination when Republicans would be stuck with him.
You did not answer my question.
Okay, I agree with that. However, it is completely irrelevant, because our previous choices have not been between the Barack Obama and Ben Carson, and our upcoming choice is also not between Barack Obama and Ben Carson.
