Carson:
"Many in the political class don't seem to understand it, but something historic is happening across America. We've been told that only politicians can fix our problems, but I believe that traditional "political experience" is much less important than faith, honesty, courage, and an unshakable belief in the principles that made America the greatest nation in the world."
And Carson does tend to depict himself as a teller of truths. In one of his books, he pointed out that he was always advising youngsters to be honest:
"When I talk to young people, I urge them, "Tell the truth. If you tell the truth all the time you don't have to worry threemonths down the line about what you said three months earlier. Truth is always the truth. You won't have to complicate your life by trying to cover up."
