Ben Carson, now and 2016?

[Celldweller]

I'm hearing and seeing more of the Right flock to this guy like he's America's next great savior. I've scoured the inter-tubes but have found nothing other than he's an extraordinary neurosurgeon, minority, hyper-conservative- he's waiting for God to tell him if he should run in 2016- and staunchly opposed to the affordable care act (duh).

So, what gives? The Tea Party worships him like an 8 year old to a Playstation. No clear message on any issues (that I could find) except pro-gun ownership and down with Obamacare.

Is he basically the Right Wing's wet dream of a minority candidate?

Well, these people do have a track record for supporting nuts, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, Newt "I couldn't possibly be a larger Washington Insider" Gingrich (twice), Michelle Bachmann (but just briefly), Rick Perry. Now days Rand Paul is beloved and Ted Cruz who only became so conservative to win a primary are the hopes... among apparently Carson now.

If you post "Nobama!" on a Yahoo news article, you'll get mentioned by the Washington Times as potential candidate for national office and start polling around 3% nationally.

He agrees with their positions, he makes them look "inclusive", and he's got no apparent baggage. He's perfect.

And as soon as he tries to run with the big dogs, he'll flame out.

It looks like welfare and public housing are bad and should be curtailed after you mother raised you on them.

Notice how the GOP just gives Carson enough rope to hang himself with some of the bizarre things he says. You know like how the V.A.
scandal is a "gift from god!" Mr Carson is an American dream come true. Too bad the "dark side" got ahold of him. He is actually quite intelligent. Yet me thinks that a neural surgeon makes good money and wants lower taxes on his income and investments. Hence him hopping on the hate train and jumping in the crazy mobile of the GOP.

Just like a Paul Ryan wanting to slash SS yet he used it to put himself through college when his father died, Carson is doing the same thing with public assistance. One for you and 100 for me! The new GOP mantra of austerity. Socialism is bad and the private sector is good. Well till you need it and use it.

Peace
