Ben Carson

Absolutely. Let's start with the US = Nazi Germany position.

My question was if he was a black conservative, or a black surgeon, or a conservative surgeon, would he be in the discussion to become President? We will leave the absolute lack of any public service and apparent insanity out for the time being.

Suddenly, you guys care about executive experience? Too good.
 
"any public service" = "executive experience"?

jhmd is trying too hard.
 
Santorum, Palin, Perry, Bachmann, and Huckabee aren't Ivy League educated minorities, but they're damaging the GOP brand every bit as much as Carson, Cruz, and Jindal. Don't think Colin Powell, Rubio, or Condi Rice have done similar damage to the GOP. Would be helpful to have hard and fast rules about who can and can not be criticized and which reasons for criticism are acceptable and which aren't.

Oh, the irony.
 
We could give Ben Carson a pass for saying a bunch of inflammatory idiotic shit, just because he's black, but that wouldn't be fair to all the Asian candidates who don't say a bunch of inflammatory idiotic shit during their campaigns.

Right. We're treating Carson the same way as we treat the white GOP candidates, but jhmd wants to lower the standard for Carson. One could say that applying a different standard for Carson is its one ugly type of bigotry.
 
jhmd just won't give up on this dumb race baiting argument, will he?

After reading this page (#24 with 20 per) I'm convinced he is just trolling and doesn't really believe the nonsense he is typing. Fair play to him, but I won't be playing along anymore.
 
I can't keep up with who is being raciost here, probably all of you, but Ben Carson is a great American.

Ben Carson's campaign is falling apart. McCain's team fell apart about the same time in 2007 and he was able to recover (at least in the primaries). Newt's campaign faltered around this time in 2011 and he was never really a factor. After Bachmann's multiple repeat gaffes, it was pretty clear she didn't have a great team around her. Carson's far more accomplished than Bachmann, but he does need a much stronger team around him than what he has right now. With so many candidates, there's a finite amount of campaign talent available.
 
Herman Cain to the rescue?
