In todays environment, you have to be willing to sell your soul and sell out your own countrymen to become president.. I don't think Carson has that in him.. He seems to be a man who believes in prinicpal and a man that has lived the american dream.. I don't see him running for president.

Plus he probably spends more time on the Hannity show set than in his own house...the man needs some diversity in his appearances and a move away from the Tea Party echo chamber..

Within the context of the post I responded to there is a difference... a righr winger who only uses right wing talking points has LOSER written on his forehead. RWs only appeal to RWs... there are plenty of conservatives who can get democrats to vote for them because some Dems are fiscially conservative.

The right always screams individualism until they get their sound bite. Copying and pasting the word a thousand times doesn't mean a thousand people said it...lol.

A guy said it once in here... you typed it 8 times.
I will type it a smany times as needed for you to understand who called Ben Carson an uncle tom

Nah. Dr. Carson is just another conservative flavor of the week. There will be many more flavors of the week before 2016. I expect the Democratic party to go through the same, but closer to the election.
