  1. I hope this Carson joker runs because Clinton or Biden would totally blow him away if he was the GOP candidate. Unaffordable? Are you able to put a price a human suffering and people that can't get basic health care? I can hardly wait for this alternative health care plan from the Right to come out so it is able to be torn apart big time. As long as there is a Democrat in the White House, there will not ever be a bill that defunds the ACA ever not going to be vetoed. The ACA is here to stay! Sooner or Later the right has to learn to live with that!

  2. Black and White Democrats will be well advised to listen to this man.
    He speaks the truth. Not the far Left Socialist lies
    that the current commander in chief puts out.
    I pity the person that does not get it.

    • Far left socialists are a lot more popular than Ben Carson who is a homophobic demagogue with a radical agenda for our country. African Americans reject this man who doesn't get any attention outside of white conservative circles. Carson only makes them feel good by telling them what they want to hear
    • If white conservatives pack halls to hear this man you can rule out a discussion of the common good. The right used to be reasonable, less obstructionist. The line has been moved extremely far right and resulted in a majority of women, minorities, the poor & middle class being excluded from their agenda. The right today would (and does) consider Ronald Reagan policies Socialist. He is their God but they do not follow in principle, just in blind worship. Black Democrats will listen to Ben Carson and if they want a life coach, a cheerleader they might sign up for a free lesson. A political leader in touch with their issues on a grand scale? Absolutely not going to happen. White Democrats also have this guy scoped out and unless he starts talking policy that they can relate to Ben can drone on for years and he isn't going to connect.
    • The "right" politicians used to go along. Those days are over, dean. Conservatives and libertarians may go down, but they'll go fighting for what was the ideal of America. If you think that racist, exploitative or some other evil, you're wrong. But, hey, it's important to have free speech with which you agree. What happens when the bogeymen are all gone, other peoples' money to do good spent, and the excuses dried up? America can become Detroit-like very quickly. Take a trip to coal and steel country and look around...then ask yourself why. You may admit it to yourself. Is poverty eliminated or expanded after our 50 year national war? Are kids better educated today than 50 years ago with the increased federal intervention and expanding schools of education? Are cities safer, more economically viable, or providing a better lifestyle than 50 years ago? If you're honest with yourself, you'll say no...and ponder why not. Maybe, for a few more dollars and with a few more social workers and cops... What is your vision of the "common good" that white conservatives (the disdain just drips from your usage) will not discuss?
  3. A shill for the plutocrats.

  4. Yes, it takes "courage" to follow the ALEC playbook.....much like it takes "intellect" to memorize the color of traffic lights.

  6. Dr. Ben Carson is all that many thought Obama would be. Carson is intelligent, compassionate, well spoken, independent and not ready to use race as a political tool. Unlike Obama, Carson is the real deal. Carson won't run for president, but he loves America and is speaking out as he wants to alert us that we have to kick out the fools now in Washing D.C.
  7. Ben Carson for President!
  8. How much did Carson slip under the table to Glauber to write this glowing piece that tries to turn an extreme fringer into someone you'd take home to meet your parents? Compare this puffery to the skeptical piece by Jason Stein on Brett Hulsey, who is wacky in a different way.

  9. Whites going to see and support a black? Oh the horror! Where are Sharpton and Jackson? Why are they not screaming racism? Carson for President!

  10. Mr. Carson would make a great president, I hope he runs. All who are about to comment to the contrary, realize you're racists, plain and simple; most liberals are.
