Carson 'not sure' what God has in store for him

Go to you tube and look him up. I really love him. If he can get elected there won't be a need to for anyone else. He is sooooooooooooooooo smart. And Honest, cares, he's great. He can beat Hillary.

This is not about religion, but, if WE as believers don't get behind this guy, who can we trust? I am sure there will be more about him and if he is not CLEAN, we don't need him either. He seems to be the REAL thing.

Unfortunately the conservative/libertarian/tea party wing applies "purity tests" so extreme, that good men like him will be thrown under the bus and totally dismissed if they find 1% they disagree with him on.

What if he isn't as strong on gun rights?
That's the 1% I'm pretty sure they'd throw him under the bus over.

Meh never heard of the guy though I will try to investigate him now that you bring him up. Not to offend you though brother, but being something of a basement armchair American politics analyst I am sorry to inform you that Mr. Carson has no chance of winning the 2016 American Presidential Elections even if Hillary does not run because American majority votes partisanly, then the minority swing voters vote by star power and reputation. Carson is simply too unknown, however, in the long term political strategy if he is a genuinely good candidate even if he just ran in the Primaries or a hotly contested national wide position he might be able to gain some recognition for a successful later run in say 2020 or 2024.

That's my opinion for now before I look into him. Again not trying to be harsh on the political rhetoric or anything, just pretty much the stark reality of American Politics. Plus if Hillary does actually run then the guy has almost no chance of winning just by name recognition alone much less Hillary famous political machine and mastery lol.

Like an unknown senator from Illinois named Barack Obama.

I thank you for your posts both of you. I really don't know alot about politics. But, I have heard this guy and I like him. 2020 I won't be around. I hope you can call me a liar. I probably watch to much of Fox news.

However, just more and more keeps coming out about this Bengizi Raid, IRS, I am happy about Obamacare. I know its messed up but, it has some very good things in it. I want everyone to enjoy the same coverage that I have. And the same teatment that I have enjoyed. And we all need a little skin in the game.

Carson said if we paid back 10 Million per day it was Thousands of years before the debt would be paid off. I don't remember the Number I could look it up but its late. 38 years?? UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!!

Heh not trying to call anyone a liar, I am sorry if I gave this impression, and who knows brother you may be around yet, no man knows when he will go to the nethers. Either way though, Biscuit does raise a decent point in his post iindeed lol!

Like I said though, without knowing anything about Carson thus having no personal pre-disposed bias for or against him, I personally do not think he'd win at least in the 2016 Presidential Campaign. Mostly for one because Hillary is a political titan, and yes even though Obama beat her (lol thanks to a backrooms deal with the Dems) she did win even by popular vote and possibly even in the fullest technical sense, but did not raise a dispute instead gaining a grand bargain of becoming Secretary of State (one of the most powerful and in my opinion even though I do not want Hillary for president, she was an overall good Sec. of State.)

Plus think of this 2016 is still 2 years away; in politics this is a lifetime. The political juggernaut that is Hillary Clinton might not even run for president. In this case perhaps your Carson guy could stand a fairer chance. Really it depends which party he is in. If Hillary doesn't run if he is a Democrat he'd be in a good position to win because besides Biden (whom won't win anyways), the Dems are pretty much gonna be out of star power until they can bring up some of the fresh faces to more prominence. The GOP field on the other hand is quite intriguing to observe. The GOP is very much in an ideological sort of flux. They don't have any superstars like Hillary's level, but the GOP has managed to cultivate some Rising Stars like Rand Paul, Rubio, and Huntsman that would be acceptable choices for President in my opinion. However the GOP has been pretty absurd the past few elections too lol, and are more likely to run their Unpopular Stars like Jeb Bush, Mitt, Paul Ryan, Christie, etc. that though they be stars, the swingvoter won't swing for them in favor of a more familiar brand like Hillary.

Lol again not trying to be stomping on your political prediction, I am merely a politico affeciando myself. Lol I live in Ohio, major swing state, and also a very critical political season state for both parties thus we get a lot of political variety in the Land of the Big River lol. I'm not really a Dem or a Repub and I can see in both parties both good people and agendas and people that scare the heck out of me with some of their ideas and agendas lol.

Either way though I beleive there is Politics and there is Governance. If Carson is a decent at governance and well suited for whatever position he seeks, I am not trying to condemn him or nothing. Merely I would think he'd need to raise his national political profile a bit in order to run in 2016 against Hillary Clinton of all people. Even though Obama was a fresh-faced Senator he did speak at the DNC convention in 2004 and he was a Senator which is a moreso prominent national level position than say governor or representative. It is still rare to pull off what Obama did in 2008. If you think Carson is good by all means I am all in favor of good governance. Even if some of our politicians are crazy I personally just like analyzing the theater of it all and the process so I don't really mind who runs so much as who wins lol.

I like you have heard of these names. We need you in your state. Please for the sake of the country check out Dr. Ben Carson TODAY if you haven't allready. These are just my thoughts on Ben. They are collecting money I have never donated to a politican in my life. If I thought my $100 dollars would make a difference it would be in the mail tommoro. Every little bit helps that is what the little old lady said when she pee'ed in the sea.

Someone, brought up and interesting question about Guns. If he's that stupid forget him. I do think we need better control of who has them. I got guns, I don't plan on killing anyone, or Robbing anyone. But, if you come into my house at night and threaten my family your a dead man.

I am interested in your thoughts, knoweldge/ TIA
