I see someone I like (and maybe even for a President), Ben Carson

This guy is one again dragging out the tired old 10% flat tax because it's good enough for the church (tithing) so it's good enough for America. So, the pensioner who tries to live on 10k should pay out 1k on taxes while a man who makes 100k pays only 10k laving him with 90k ???? That's fair. Vote repubican and finish off all middle class. Let's have a wealthy and poor only. This is as bad as last years Caine and 9-9-9.

Exactly... but watch the fools defend it by saying that the wealthy man still pays 10 times more in taxes than the poor man... True.. but he makes 10 times more and gets to keep 10 times more.
 
Without addressing the politics, I see Ben Carson was the first surgeon to separate conjoined twins at the head. Interesting.

(sorry if this was already mentioned....I'm rushing around doing some things)

He apsolutely was is a brilliant surgeon, I have nothing but respect for him in his field of work outside of politics, but, he is beginning to let his odd Thomas side come into play and that's, unfortunately for him going to put him in a very different light of which may shadow a lot of the good he's already accomplished over his very distinguished valuable life and career

I have nothing but respect for his medical accomplishments but he should stay out of politics, it's definitely not his strong point.
 
Some of the remarks he makes show very little intelligence. So as far as the "brilliant surgeon" is concerned, I'll have to take your word for it.

I'll bet I know why you said that about the possibility of Palin/Carson run! Personally, I find Sarah Palin the most confusing person to listen to in the whole world.

Ben Carson on being gay and gay marriage.

Watched the video and I'm amazed that such a smart man (top neurosurgeon) can be so abhorrently wrong. How does he explain then the gay man who is extremely effeminate or the lesbian woman who is more masculine in her comport? I also watched a documentary once about some German researcher who did a study on the brains of dead transgender people and the documentary said he actually found a physical difference in the part of the brain that controls sexuality in their brains compared to the average hetrosexual brain.

I can't believe he actually said that!

Um, where did I call him intelligent,:playful: not that I'm saying he doesn't possess such qualities to a degree, but do say, brilliant in his field for sure, like so many people educated in their field of study, they surpass those in their understanding in those areas of study, but, as far as their grasp and sensibilities over all, in many a case they come up short, but, then again, who knows, he may have other motivations as you stated in another post, he may have his eyes on something other than the presidency. I so hope so, then again. Let's push that Palin/Carson ticket, it's good for SNL they really could give their staff a great workout to the delight of their viewing public. :D
 
Then there's also Maslow's Theory of Human Hierarchy. If he has reached the top in his field, and there is no more to strive for, then the final hierarchy of self agrandizement or self acutalization takes hold. So it would stand to reason that he holds such an inflated opinion of his abilities that he may not realize how painfully innept he is in this area.

Sarah Palin was the Republicans "Ace in the Hole" in the 2008 elections. Back then, it was pretty obvious that no Republican, except for McCain, really wanted to follow GWB into the White House, as they could see the ramifications of some of the messes he made. But when McCain started to look pretty good in the polls, the Republicans threw Sarah Palin into the mix. Shortly after the announcement of her becoming the choice for VP, Katie Couric did her famous interview with Palin, and That scared the daylights out of anyone who was undecided....few could imagine Palin running the nation should something happen to McCain. Essentially, Palin was the best thing that ever happened to the Obama campaign.
