Again, while Carson's contributions to the medical profession are unquestioned, he sounds like an absolute fool in politics. Better to stick to medicine.

I bet anyone who you don't agree with sounds like a fool. I happen to agree with the man, and think he sounds like a common sense person, not some slick politician. I prefer that.
He still hasn't said anything worse than what some very high-profile politicians have said. For example:
Harry Reid called U.S. citizens liars on the Senate floor when they said that they lost their doctors and health plans while struggling with deadly diseases like cancer. They weren't liars, so I think that makes Reid sound like an absolute fool in politics. Oh, and don't forget that he heard it from a friend that Mitt Romney didn't pay his taxes, which was a lie. Who's the liar, Reid?
Nancy Pelosi said we'd have to pass the bill before we could find out what was in the bill, which seems like a pretty foolish thing to me.
Don't even get me started on the absolute fool, Joe Biden.

He spent around 15 years between the Illinois and US senates, votes for the troop surge and reduction in in Iraq, since he was a first term senator his role was minor but you have a voting record and where he stands on issues.
You are rewriting history.
Bush did the troop surge in Iraq without a congressional vote. Obama publicly OPPOSED it, he did not vote for it, and he did vote for a resolution to CONDEMN the Iraq troop surge along with the majority of Democrats in the Senate.
Unless you are thinking about the Afghanistan troop surge, that was Obama as president without congressional votes.
Obama followed the Bush timeline of withdrawal as president, nothing special.
Obama avoided tough votes and tough positions.
Obama was FOR gay marriage as an Illinois Senator representing only a liberal Chicago district where the majority was FOR it.
Then Obama instantly was AGAINST gay marriage due to his "Christian principles" as a US Senator representing the entire state of Illinois where the majority was AGAINST it.
Then as president, Obama flip flopped, err he "evolved" back to his position just as the majority of the country switched to be in favor of it.
Obama did not stand out for tough positions voting present on them or flip flopping to the majority. Obama was elected, because he is cool.
Electing Obama has been a mistake. You can tell he has no executive experience as he runs the biggest executive position in the world. Hopefully, he will keep watching the news so he can have a clue as to what is going on in his own administration.
For the good of the country we need an experienced executive next, IMHO.
Ben Carson is a fair ethical smart man who would make a great role model to the people of the United States and to the world. We would be again on the right road . We need ethics and common sense in government.. it is a cesspool now.
His singular qualification seems to be that he can make wingnuts stand up and cheer. They love a black man who can talk white. It gives them cover for their racist proclivities. That should get him 10-20% of the vote.
Wow look at that. Liberal racism. They think all black people should talk jive or ebonics.

Obama was elected because he was more popular than the republican candidates. I didn't say I agreed with his stance on issues just that he is on record, where does Carson stand. Carson will not be running anyway and even if he could the GOP would put up someone like Romney before they let a political novice run.
Of course he sounds like a fool to you and the rest of the bat****
crazy LWNJ. He doesn't agree with your politics.

Jay Z would get at least 85% of the black vote if he ran against Ben Carson. Saving peoples lives in surgery is just sooo Uncle Tomish. Ben Carson doesnt have any street cred.
Impossible. Carson is too intelligent and honest to be a POTUS. We simply cannot have intelligent, capable, honest people in politics. Oh................. did I mention that he was black and a self made man also? We simply cannot have that either.
