Being a division director at a hospital isn't really "running a business" so to speak. Neither is serving on a company's board of directors...though both positions are very influential and prestigious.

He has no idea how our government works... Wow.
It is obvious that everything he thinks he knows about law and politics he learned from Fox News and talk radio. Like Palin, his knowledge is restricted to right wing talking points and conspiracy theories. We can only hope that he at least stayed in a Holiday Inn Express.

Ben Carson recognizes the non-thinkers.. he is trying to jump start them to think for themselves and get them to see what is the best way to serve the people through both parties.

yes, I agree, I like him, so far, like what he has to say. Do I agree with him 100%? No, however, I refuse to be a one issue voter....and believe he's worth listening to....

It really upsets me, how some people turn off to someone else, the moment they hear someone doesn't agree with them 100% on all issues....that specifically is so far beyond my comprehension.....and its a shame...

Anyway, this man has my attention and apparently from reports I've been hearing, he's got a whole lot of people's attention, what bothers me, is, after believing Obama, boy, what a let down he was....now I fear not trusting any politician from here on in....

It is obvious huh?

Well, not all conspiracy theories, are made up from lies, it is obvious you don't read much...

and you know so much more? Hay why don't you decide to run, let's see how much you know? I am guessing he formed his ideas many years before FOX news was born or at best, didn't depend on what they had to say to make decisions. I did watch him on Chris Walace Sunday, he is very knowledgable, certainly seems to understand our nation as well as Obama did before he was elected. Does that mean I would or could support him? No, but don't beleive everything you see on UTube. Open up your mind, get your information from several sources, that is the way many of us make our decisions on who to support. I was very impressed with what he had to say when asked if he really thought he could win and he told of all his accomplishments in his life that he was told he could not achieve.

These race baiters never change, do they? There have been many blacks in high office that were GOPers but that doesn't stop these type from pulling the race/color card, does it? I have full confidence that one day we will have a black Republican president and not too far in the future either.

I like him too. Don't see him making it out of the meatgrinder, but if he does, I will especially like seeing him lose in the general.

He reminds me of Sarah Palin

im sure your comment was more directed at the other guy than me, but I never judged him.

That being said, you said Carson ran a company, being a division head at a hospital is not the same as running a company.
