Ben Carson (why not)?

[Coach is Back!]

Coach,

Has Ben Carson been dishonest, at all?

Not that you or the lib media can prove.

[240 is Back]

Not that you or the lib media can prove.

I didn't ask you that.   I didn't ask you to comment on me or the media.

You see his statements.   Has he been 100% honest?  YES OR NO?

(If you support the dude, and refuse to even answer that, it looks bad man)

Anyone know who the biggest RINO is? Still in the race, I mean.

This Rhino just dropped out of the PDI race

[240 is Back]

Not that you or the lib media can prove.

Carson is supposed to be the non-politician in the race.  the honest one, not the average political tool.

If it's come down to "you cant PROVE he was lying when he made all of those contradictory statements"... well, you'll win in court of law, but in the court of PUBLIC OPINION, we all see he's a full-of-shit liar.  It's been a week, and almost a dozen major "mis-truths" have emerged.  All those major moments of his life were embellished or just plain made up.   "This man offered me a scholarship" = now he admits he didn't get offered one, and the dude wasn't even in the city that day.

I'm not sure what other 'proof' you need.  there are some people that still believe Cain never did anything inappropriate in 43 years of marriage, as he promised.  But, a dozen mistresses, an apology, and 11 years of sexting and payoffs to lesbian lover... some folks STILL believe Cain.  And when the nation gives up on lying Carson, these same people will STILL believe Casron never lied one bit.  At least that libs could prove

If doctors were smart they'd become scientists. They're doctors precisely because they aren't smart, but merely adept at memorization. Very little thinking involved.

I think carson is a BRILLIANT man.  He knows people.  He knows that 18% of the population truly believes 6000 years ago, there was nothing here.  The sun wasn't here.  The Earth wasn't here.  The universe.

Almost 1/5 of people (and a huge amount of repub primary voters) believe this.  And they believe 3000 years ago, Noah put all animals on his ark and the planet flooded, and the animals didn't eat each other.  And dinos and people hung out.  And oil didn't form from millions of years of dino remains, it just appeared one day.  Diamonds too!  Grand canyon?  Very young too.

Carson just repeats what they want to hear.  Spending almost all his campaign $ on building the book/sales list, just like Huck did.  he's not building 50s state infrastructure like Trump, Cruz and Rubio are doing.  He's on a book tour, not collecting support he WILL need.  He's running for book salesman.  

During the 2016 election, Carson will be a fox contributor selling a new book, giving speeches, making $20 mil a year.   Period.  that's all he wants, and just like many won't admit if they believe they 6000 year thing , they cannot accept this about carson.

Ben Carson Says Honesty Is More Important Than Political Experience

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."

You don't believe him, do you?  Anyone who believes carson is honest would be shouting it.
Anyone who can't answer that... lol... that's an answer, all right.

Has ben carson been 100% honest?  Yes or no?

Can't answer that.

Brain and heart surgery just requires a good memory?

Medicine is a science.

Being able to perceive and RETAIN information/knowledge IS part of intelligence. Just memorizing the quadratic equation doesn't mean you can solve all quadratic equations or even recognize a problem is quadratic. You don't think doctors, say a neurosurgeon, have to do a little problem solving? What do you do for a living?

Cracks me up at all the people here that poo-poo the intelligence of doctors when the majority of you didn't have the smarts to get into a decent university let alone get through the premed courses.

The idea that Ben Carson or Trump can get this close to being president is troubling.

Americants are fucking stupid.

Thank you, i wrote a post but erased it, it's called medical PRACTICE, it takes a ton of knowledge, pattern recognition and IQ to solve real time problems of dying people. The human body is ultra complex, problem solving is medicine.

Most of the people commenting on intelligence seem unaware of how it is measured, i would argue that as a general factor doctors are among the very highest.

Very little thinking? LOLOLOLOLOL.

ya DDX a patients symptomatology like house requires little thought. Putting people on medications, little thought, working with the most complex thing known to man? easy.

Can you provide evidence that Carson believes the earth is 6,000 years old rather than the scientifically accepted age?

[The Ugly]

Can you provide evidence that Carson believes the earth is 6,000 years old rather than the scientifically accepted age?

Carson said he never specifically stated such.

[Agnostic007]

“You go back to the very first chapter in the Bible -- and I’m not a hard and fast person who says the Earth is only 6,000 years old -- but I do believe in the six-day creation,” he said.

this week, we will see ben carson pick at the statements, trying to prove he attempted murder, or trying to defend insane statements about the founding fathers or pyramids.

you give these silly charges to Hilary or Jeb or Cruz, they laugh them off.  Carson is asking reporters if they'll sign an affadavit promising not to interview people from 50 years ago, if he gives out the names.

he's an amateur.   If you're going to brag about not being a politician - fine.  But you'd better be honest (he admits some of his claims in book aren't true) and you'd better be smooth/shrewd (he gets rattled so quickly over silly claims about 50 years ago).

medication + stress + inexperience = what we saw from carson this weekend.   We can spend the week nitpicking details about what was lies, what was "mistakes" and what he can prove, but it's irrelevant now.  He's not presidential material.  Move on to Cruz or Rubio and just get on the same page and choose one, so the GOP can unite and get past hilary.

[240 is Back]

his voice crasking, hips swinging, really getting agitated while speaking.   Carson is rattled.  Dude is getting worked over - again - by stupid media people who are 1/10 as smart as him. 

accusing the media of vetting him harder than any candidate in history.  um, is that the same history book where the pyramids store grain? 

Carson is book smart, but we can all agree he lacks the calm, reserved, gravitas which we want in a prsident.  He's rattled by a bunch of liberal media idiots, he's shaking and voice cracking.   What happens when china threatens him with bankruptcy or putin threatens war? 

we've seen carson face exactly TWO attacks.  CNBC and this latest.  Both pretty soft.  He's come unraveled both times.  Wanted to not televise debates THEN this latest rant.

Are you smoking that ganga? For months, people have complained that Carson's primary/lone weakness was he's too soft spoken. He gets slandered by Politico and CNN, punches them right back in the mouth, yet now he's "rattled"?

If anything, Carson's stock may go up as people who like him but want to see him show some fire have now seen such, as he is just hammering the media hacks who keep pushing this dopey narrative.

[240 is Back]

Let's watch the polls.  He was the national front runner in several polls and I believe he may have taken rCp average, I'm not sure. 

Give it two weeks.  The nonsense about the pyramids and founding fathers alone should be adrquate to shows he's cluless.
