Vote for him, YOU deserve him.

People so incredibly ignorant of American History or just so incredibly ignorant should huddle together in the dunce's corner they belong in.

National Draft Ben Carson for President Committee
Only if he teams up with Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann.

I wonder if white guilt has anything to do with this sudden influx of support for Carson? I think alot of wingnuts are enthusiastic about a black man for President now because they have always been on the wrong side of racial equality in this country and had to watch the success of our first black President while pouting and sulking on the sidelines, a President not only recognized in the U.S. as a success but viewed with respect and admiration around the world.

I thought that was part of the appeal with the last black Republican who ran for President. Find a black man who embraces the wingnut/Teabagger wing of the GOP and you have your next GOP Presidential candidate.

It could be Ben Carson if he goes full-on wingnut.

Very little. A majority of Americans voted for President Obama because he was the superior candidate running for President.

Now that the Republicans are becoming increasingly isolated in politics, especially in regards to race, they are realizing the necessity of having some color amongst all those old, angry white males. It is more about survival than it is about white guilt.

Dr.Carson, the great surgeon he is, is just that, a surgeon.

You can not compare him to President Eisenhower
Dr Ben Carson is a brilliant brain surgeon ,Obama a community organizer who failed at that.

I do not understand the logic of conservatives.

Is it that you do not realize that Barack Obama was a U.S. Senator and State Senator before he was elected President ... Or do you honestly think there is something wrong with being a Community Organizer ?

I would like an answer.

And if you did know he was a US ans State senator, why are you only mentioning the Community Organizer part ?

what you are doing is the equivalent of saying Jeff Bezos is just a McDonalds worker and never mentioning that created and runs Amazon.

grow up.

I would also like to know what you mean by saying he failed at it ?
