When Carson calls you a snake in the grass you're a snake in the race.

Ok let’s do that. Cruz stopped amnesty in the Senate. He’s got my vote :-)

Frankly, Ted Cruz is a lying scumbag.

But he’s OUR lying scumbag.

Yeah because words don’t matter, right Ben?

Carson at a Glance

Moral Issues:

Carson agreed with the courts that Kim Davis was wrong for taking a stand on her religious beliefs (A court just found in favor of a muslim truck driver who refused to deliver alcohol based on religious belief- but bakers apparently aren’t allowed to object on religious beliefs, nor are county clerks according to Carson) http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/armstrong-williams-ben-carson-kentucky-clerk

Carson Thinks same sex marriages are just ducky- declaring the ruling the “law of the land.” - http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/carson-huckabee-gay-marriage/2015/06/26/id/652379/

Carson apparently thinks abortions are just ducky too- he said that he “would never advocate it’s illegal for a person to get an abortion.” - http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1992-09-30/news/1992274113_1_abortions-obstetrics-dr

Carson approves of using baby parts from ‘tissue banks’ “To not use the tissue that is in a tissue bank, regardless of where it comes from, would be foolish. Why would anybody not do that?” - https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/ben-carson-says-it-is-foolish-not-to-use-already-aborted-babies-tissues-in

Carson apparently refers mothers with fetuses with birth defects to abortion clinics- “he [Carson] believes in quality medical care, No. 1, and secondly, he believes in people making their own decisions based on facts and information.” - http://www.politico.com/story/2015/08/ben-carson-abortion-stance-121456.html?hp=t3_r

Carson believes abortions for rape are just ducky- “I would hope that they would very quickly avail themselves of the emergency room, and in the emergency room, they have the ability to administer RU-486 and other possibilities before you have a developing fetus.” - http://www.politico.com/story/2015/08/ben-carson-abortion-stance-121456.html?hp=t3_r

Gun Control:

Carson is for banning “Assault Rifles” http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/05/28/dr-ben-carson-on-gun-rights-some-weapons-probably-not-appropriate-like-tanks/

Carson has stated conservatives need to be open to the idea of compromise on gun control measures - http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/05/28/dr-ben-carson-on-gun-rights-some-weapons-probably-not-appropriate-like-tanks/

Carson has stated that local governments should be allowed to ban guns under certain conditions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NM0lldmplM

Carson thinks guns should only be allowed in certain places:

“I had hoped that my NRA speech this year would clarify my position on the second amendment, which I believe is vital to our freedom. As I stated in that speech, Thomas Hobbes, a 17th-century English philosopher when talking about tyranny in Europe, stated that America would never suffer such tyranny because the people were armed. The point that I clumsily was trying to make on the Beck show was that, we should be looking for ways to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of unstable individuals. It was not a well thought out comment by any stretch of the imagination. All of my writings and in-depth statements clearly state that in no way do I wish to compromise the second amendment. I have subsequently had meaningful discussions with the leadership of the NRA concluded that any law-abiding American should have access to any legal weapon for protection, recreation or whatever other legal purpose they may desire. I am now a lifetime member of the NRA. I realize that some people will never believe that and will not go back and research my writings and statements to satisfy themselves.” - https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2015/05/exclusive-ten-questions-with-dr-ben-carson

Energy:

“I don’t particularly like the idea of government subsidies for anything because it interferes with the natural free market,” but then Carson continued, “therefore, I would probably be in favor of taking that $4 billion a year we spend on oil subsidies and using that in new fueling stations.” - http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinion/columnists/kathie-obradovich/caucus/2015/05/05/ben-carson-climate-change-renewable-fuel-standard/26945261/

Personal Gain:

“it is naive to count on the honesty and integrity of people responsible for our markets when they stand to gain so much by manipulating the system to their advantage.” (Ben Carson, America the Beautiful, 78-79) -

Taxes:

Carson has stated that he’s for government wage control- http://www.cnbc.com/id/102658083

The deal has been cut.......Carson will back Rubio. This mess he claims, one that he caused himself, has done nothing but boost Rubio up, while the others quarrel. Rubio slides right on by them taking Carson with him.

True. What Cruz did was wrong, but he and Trump are still better choices than a GOPe candidate.

Carson is Butthurt because half his staff quit to go work for Cruz.

Carson’s scam ‘campaign’ was just a ruse to sell books anyway.

How many actual Iowa caucus voters have come forward to claim they were swayed by the announcement of that tweet? Seriously, has one person come forward? I want real people, real numbers. FACTS. In the end, Carson got more votes than originally thought.

That right,he did not blame CNN which told the truth in the report about you Mr. Carson,he did not blame Rubio Donor Conrad Close who tweeted at 6:29Pm,one half an hour before TED Cruz posted anything,that the Rubio campaign is pushing hard that Carson is leaving the race,hoping Rubio picks up the votes I am even more determined to support CRUZ.
He apologizes and took the heat for a Slimey Rubio dirty trick

"I believe what it says in Matthew 7:20, the Sermon on the Mount, 'by their fruit you will know them.' Know people not by what they say, but by what they do."

Wise words by Dr. Carson. Unless he tries to apply them to Trump, of course. We all know what Trump says is more important than a lifetime of his deeds...
