None of this is relevant. You said Obama was classier than Carson. What other Republicans did is wholly irrelevant to that. Only what Obama has done and what Carson has done is relevant.

I don't think he comes across well enough.

He's a smart doctor with right leaning political views. So what? On the surface, that might seem like an anomaly, but i'm sure it's more common than most of you think.

Besides that, what does he have to offer? I've watched him several times since the Prayer Breakfast, and he isn't really saying anything that i haven't heard before.

Ok, so Republicans wanna say the same things except that they think it'll sell better wrapped in a black package just because he's a successful doctor?

I wouldn't put much stock into that. But hey, i've been wrong a million times before and maybe i'm wrong now.

I'd vote for him. Because he's black. And cool.

That's how we got Obama.

If he wasn't being truthful, then he was lying. Is there another alternative??
I'm sorry McConnell didn't succeed.

You're right, there's so much insanity in our government today -- anything that is against the present administration is insanity. Glad you didn't open up that spigot. We could go on for pages.

Well we can already see that he tries to pass himself off as an "independent" yet is a constant presence on the far right wing Hannity show and makes appearances at ultra conservative conferences such as CPAC espousing conservative viewpoints. He has also admitted he was trying to troll Obama and has already made the statement that many blacks "dont think for themselves". So yes I would like for him to jump into politics

Why so you can falsely label him as a racist, Uncle Tom?

Too late, the left wing nut job brigade has already attacked this man for making your messiah and his lap dog look like complete morons on national TV.

Oh they have a clue, they just don't want to hear it. That's the exact same look you get when you start talking to Democrats about personal responsibility, having a work ethic and actually being a productive member of society.

The only thing Obama has said to Carson is "Thank you for coming and for your speech"..

Now lets make a list of things Carson has said to denigrate Obama and blacks..

I said left wing nutjobs, not just Obama... but thanks for at least trying to understand what I said.

Tolerance brigade calls Ben Carson ‘token,’ ‘Uncle Tom’ and ‘Oreo’ after CPAC speech | Twitchy

Would you look at all that left wing love and tolerance for a black man who spoke his mind.

Lets not forget Carson started all this by admitting he was looking to troll Obama and then proceeded to say "blacks don't think for themselves" - you would expect more restraint from a famous neurosurgeon
