Dr. Carson has achieved a great deal in his life. He like Colin Powell are examples of success through hard work. I don't know that Dr. Carson is electable, he's not a product of either the Dems or the GOP. Much of what he says makes perfect sense to us normal people who actually have to work and balance a household budget.
The kiss of death for him is that he refuses to mines words to avoid hurting feelings. Sometimes the truth can hurt. He is also opinionated, some of which I disagree with. His stance on gays for example. The bottom line is he will never gain the GOP support required to win and he damned sure won't gain the Dems support. His stand on personal accountability is counter the You need the Government to succeed platform the Dems currently ride.
He couldn't get 20% of the black vote at his own family reunion.
I don't know his policy positions, but I do remember one idea he floated which would be from birth every American is given a health services account that the government puts money into, it sounded incredibly ambitious and interesting, but since that brief thing, he has called Obamacare worse than slavery.
He then said we should have a flat income tax because the bible.
He has said liberals want to keep black people on a plantation are angered because he isn't, which means in his mind most black voters are on a plantation.
These things are not an appealing messages to black voters.
Today must be "hug your black friend day" at all the Republican Party offices across the country.
There is the difference between us . I have friends whom I do not view by color but instead by friendship based on character. Dems see black friends and label them as their black friends , reps see friends

Yeah sure cause doctors don't use the government at all. These fictional tales of I did it without the government. Meanwhile the whole medical profession is subsidized by the government in so many ways that it's not even funny.

No, but the medical profession wouldn't exist as it currently does without huge amounts of government spending. This is objective reality. So a doctor saying I didn't use the government or someone praising a doctor for not using the government is ignorant of reality.

Well you obviously didn't get the memo. Black men can only succeed with the help of the Federal government paving a path for them. They are incapable of personal success without it. Nobody can succeed unless the FED does all the hard work for them.

When making statements like that .. why not furnish some stats?
Sure Lefties have their grubby hands everywhere but I'd like something more than .. "You're ignorant, The government is god" quotes!

Sure that's why everyone is as successful as Dr. carson. It had nothing to do with him or his own hard work. Unlike some I accept that hard work and dedication to excellence are the key ingredients to success. If it were all about the Fed paving the way we would all be Dr. Ben Carson.
