The Democrats can't see it but their extinction is coming... I am just amazed of how stupid they are to what is going to happen... I can't ruin the surprise... I am trying to buy memorabilia cause it's going to be worth something when historians look back at the demise of liberals... Merry Christmas...

Racist. I am just laughing though because your tax money will pay his salary.

Isn't it interesting that the only qualification Trump supporters say Dr. Carson has is his intelligence?
The New York Times, who once had both Frank Rich and Charles Blow on their staffs and still has Blow, accusing others of having an "anti-intellectual media-politico complex?" That's rich, pun intended.

Being smart and being ignorant are not mutually exclusive. For example Ben Carson is a brilliant neurosurgeon, but completely clueless with regard to political affairs.

It's also possible to be smart but believe in very stupid things.

Just sayin'..being smart doesn't mean you're not ignorant w/ regard to a particular subject or set of subjects.

I keep hearing this.
What, exactly, was Obama's "field of expertise?" Deception?

He is despised in the LGBT community - of every race and ethnicity.
So instead of using one trite, unbelievably overused leftist buzzword you'll use two others instead. Well done.

One thing is for sure, Dr. Carson is smarter than you ever will be. That we can all agree on. Dr. Carson has lived in poor inner city areas. Not just a Liberal bleeding heart blowhard who has only read about inner city issues from some article in the New Yorker magazine.

Ben Carson is a genius. One of the most intelligent men walking the face of the earth and you are a low level troll on an Internet forum.

Or HOW so many archaeologists can be wrong about the purpose of the pyramids for that matter?
I'm not going to even try to compare the ACA against horrible wars that kill innocent civilians while costing us billions of dollars, totally different things and it demeans the tragic impact of those wars. But that being said, the impact of the ACA on the 150 million plus of everyday working Americans that now can no longer afford to use their healthcare (even when it is provided by their employers) is VERY significant and has brought many middle income families into real economic hardship. I would call putting a program in place that gave 20M people free or near free healthcare via ACA, then pretty much making that healthcare financially inaccessible to the 150M of working Americans that previously had healthcare they could afford pretty stupid - especially after you lied to those 150M, told them they could keep their healthcare, then to really hammer the stupidity home hit them with premium increases in some cases over 100% right before the election. Again, I'll say the ACA isnt on the level of war or terrorist attacks, but in the day to day lives of these middle class working people, the ACA has made things pretty bad wrt their healthcare and finances. And I am sure they are even more incensed that the non-working people get all this for free while the person working a 60 hour week just to keep his job gets his healthcare cut to pretty much nothing at 10x the price. And wrt the presidential elections, it was pretty stupid to expect these people to continue to vote in a president that would continue these policies.
