I heard Carson being interviewed about how he'd handle spending and the economy as president, his responses showed a breathtaking lack of understanding of how this actually works in reality. He wants to pay for increased spending for defense and other items with tax and personnel cuts. We saw how that worked under Bush-II, it didn't.

That's the Reagan recipe all Republicans must follow. Carson couldn't know less about the economy or foreign policy. Accordingly, he's fertile ground for discredited Supply-Siders and NeoCons.

Candidate Carson comes across as an idiot savant outside of his field of expertise.

He has the arrogance of someone who thinks that since they are an accomplished surgeon everything else in life is easy, such as being a President. He is condescending if you sit back and listen to him.
He is the type that puts down people that major in liberal arts, etc. Well that is my impression anyway.

He will never ever be President because in the end he is unlikeable to most Americans, baggers notwithstanding.

Why single out Carson?

The entire Republican Party is rotten to the core.

The most moderate Republican of today is far more radical and dangerous than the most batshit crazy Bircher of the 1950's and 60's.

Fuck them all.

Fuck them all.

The long and the short and the tall.

All kidding aside, do you think everyone has handlers, just because you do, meme-repeater?

And then there's the story about Carson spotting what he thought was a new tumor inside the skull of a patient he'd operated on several times in the past. When he went in to do an exploratory, he didn't find a tumor but he did discover a surgical sponge he'd left in her head the last time.
