Ben Carson (why not)?

[pellius]

Bernie Sanders

I have to admit, I don't know much about Sanders other than he is an avowed Socialist, at least according to the media. Because of that I summarily dismissed him. So since all I know about him is from what I read, admittedly from primarily conservative sources, I'll keep an open mind and would be very interested as to knowing why you support him.

Take your time because I realize this may require an involved reply.

[Lustral]

What, you don't find Bernie, uh, formidable?

Nearly as embarrassing as our president (Michael D Higgins) who is not only a socialist but could also pass for Bilbo Baggins. Luckily our president only cuts the ribbons at flower shows and makes speeches to crowds of 5 people and has no real power.

wise words from a conservative viewpoint - he said it way better than I could

I have already heard Carson lie about Mannatech, a company he made an hour long PBS special for, numerous speeches and videos, and he even credited them with funding his $2.5 million endowment chair at Johns Hopkins. When they became a liability, he denied having a relationship with them.

He clearly meant his readers to believe he was offered a post at West Point, when he was never offered such a post, which is done through a process of application, nomination and acceptance by formal letter. The most that happened was that he was encouraged to apply, which he did not,

Who is the "he" you refer to? He is either a liar or a moron, likely the former.

I haven't seen any of the debates, doubt I missed much, but they are on at 4/5am here.

carson talks about how he rescued white students during race riots and hid them in the school science lab.

wall street journal did a nice interview with students (yes, they dug up records) and the physics teacher.  NONE of them recall carson being there or doing the heroics he claimed.  Sounds like a good story he cooked up? 

They all have similar detailed accounts of it.  Very scary day, many of them remember tons of details.   
But none remember a young, heroic student swooping in to rescue white students from harm.   

All of these little exaggerations are coming back to bite him now.

In my book, even if he HAD done that.. to write about it and brag on it takes any kudos away.

He came from a poor background and was successful. Why does he need to lie about this shit? Surely that is the epitome of the American dream. I would be proud if i came from nothing and made it. Why add the lies about violence, how he would react to a gunman (who knows unless they have been there),  westpoint etc.

Say you made it on merit, believe in whatever  and go on that.

Yeah, socialism is where the Left plays pretend.

How do you objectively define a moron? I would imagine that the content of his thought and words would be a good indicator. This moron has POVERBS on his wall, POVERBS!

He believes the earth is 6000 years old and the pyramids were built to store grain (seems cost effective lololol)

[WOOO]

Ben Carson is the stupidest smart person in Americant

[240 is Back]

I remember in 2011/2012....

There were nearly a dozen women accusing Cain of being a womanizing whore.  He said he'd never done ANYTHING inapropriate in 43 years of marriage.  Yeah.

This is turning into that.  Outright caught in a few lies alrady.  More lies looking to emerge as very thin, way-too-convenient events in his life are remembered differently by those around him.  And the idiot things like the pyramids he seems to truly believe?

This IS hermann cain all over again.  Repubs are still picking over this or that lie - unwilling to just admit he's lied about a handful of things, and more are likely to emerge this week.  They'll celebrate one politico headline, but many of them who actually remember the hermann cain mess realize this is happening again.

Black Republicans are a funny species.

[oldtimer1]

I get it Adonis. The only real blacks are Democrats. That is racist.  

What we are seeing is the liberal left leaning majority media doing hit pieces on any Republican so they can lead the sheep.  The majority press completely ignored everything Obama. His college grades were sealed so no one could see how bad they were. I could go on about all the questionable things in his back ground but it would take paragraphs.  Young people living in their mother's house think Democrats will take care of them with the tax money they take from workers.

Vote for Hillary. If you think it's bad now with ISIS, economy, Russia and having Muslim country on a clear path to Nuclear weapons you haven't seen anything yet.

Good quote. This Trump sounds smart, we should all probably vote for him.

Someone who has the brains to know/understand facts and ignores/rejects them despite overwhelming evidence. A mentally disabled person isn't a moron. They cannot understand. A neurosurgeon can understand when he is making shit up, and must surely have some scientific knowledge to dispute creationism yet cognitively ignores this information or... more likely... is a liar appealing to a voting group.

Does he honestly believe pyramids were built to store grain? Guess it is a coincidence that ancient burial grounds here (Newgrange is best example - constructed 1000 years BEFORE pyramids) happen to have chambers that only illuminate in the winster solstace on December 21st. Humankind is almost unique in its recognition of respect for the dead, hence pyramids, burial sites here and all over globe - yet this so called religious person denigrates this respect by espousing stupid theories on pyramids. Does he believe in bigfoot or think dinosaur fossils were put here to test out faith?

Ben Carson believes the pyramids were built by Joseph from the bible to store grain.

On political board, nobody will defend carson.  They just want to attack politico.

they know the dude is a lying piece of trash - they just love hating on the media for jumping to a headline, 4 horus before carson confirmed it himself.
