the timing is funny to me. i think the leftist media is going through his books. it might be counter productive for them to attack dr ben at this stage. i would of thought they would wait but maybe the’re as afraid of him against hillary as they are of rubio.

i think it’s plausible that the anti-trump vote (that is also leary of jeb) is going to carson, rubio, fiorina and the like. i’ve talked to a few friends with that view. they just don’t trust trump. i don’t trust him either, but i may support him in the end if cruz is defeated. will carson’s vote go to trump if he implodes?

i think it’s more likely to go back to gopes like rubio or even jeb, but we’ll see.

Anyone who thinks I am a liberal is stupid.

An even greater mystery is WHY they support Carson. I have never heard one Carson supporter give a substantive reason for their support.

"Your FReep page self identifies you as a liberal."

You need to substantiate your slanderous accusation or STFU.

A review of your posting don't show you to be any bastion of conservationism, except for the feeble-minded who believe political power must mimic biblical teaching.

That's statist, not Conservative.

Because real Conservatives realize you do not allow anyone in the Leftist media to use their standard distort, slander and lie tactics to take out anyone. Once you legitimatize those tactics, they will be used on the candidate you like next.

Perhaps because Republicans aren’t the “racists” that the left accuses them of being. And look at how the left is attacking Carson because he dares to think for himself and is not one of their “plantation voters.”

....substantiate your slanderous accusation... ???

It's YOUR FReep page that self identifies you as a libertarian (liberal). What else needs to be said that YOU haven't said.

Except that in addition to slandering Christians (my point way upthread) and in addition to you being a liberal; you are also a LIAR.

Palin and Reagan are (were) not liberals.

Because Carson will do a fine job of taking out Carson.

Never interrupt your opponent when he is destroying himself.

Yes you are correct.

Carson is getting help from left wing pollster who are trying to care out the weakest option to run against Hillary .

Meet the Dem operative who runs Monmouth propaganda polls .

Read his tweets in this link.

This guy running Monmouth propaganda polls is very dangerous and doing only AGENDA POLLING .

He is the guy who created the way to jack up Carson polls by oversampling got Evanglical voters in IA and now SC .
He cooked up a new SC poll with 2/3 only hard core evangelicals which gave him the poll he wanted !

Hey Washington Post, we don't do what you say any more. We ignore you. We're all working together to take Hillary out. So chew on that for a while.

Hahaha. Too funny. Totally agree with you. Ive tried to get a few Carson supporters to actually tell me a policy position of his that they agree with. Can’t get them to come up with anything. About the best they can do is utter phrases that he is a good moral man, a good Christian, soneone who will bring morals back, etc. All well and good, but a President does not that make. I’m a Trumpkin, but I am getting a little worried about Carson. I do believe he will fade eventually, but this surge is unexplained. It hasnt come at Trump’s expense, so I’m stumped by it.

Great find.

A lot of us knew that the recent so called polls showing the miracle of Ben versus Donald smelled like rats feces.

Your find confirms that.

How many paid trolls does he have on FR and other sites pushing his rigged polls as fast as they came out?

They don’t need to, Carson is doing that quite nicely on his own.

“Never interrupt your opponent when he is destroying himself.”

My Granddad taught me that secret years ago.
