LABI is for Common Core and opposed Gov. Jindal, in fact other rants on here talk about it. Common Core is Liberal and a Socialist/Liberal program. Dr. Carson is also against Common Core. It might be a problem in his speech. Common Core over here where I moved in Ms. has serious opposition. They say in speeches that it is hateful towards Reagan, in fact untruthful, and praises F. Roosevelt for starting programs for Democrats and the poor. Said Reagan just wanted war with Russia and did nothing but cut things. All not true. Practically left Thomas Jefferson and James Madison out of the history part. Said they were selfish slave owners that did little for the public, just got themselves rich. A local School Board member over here is my neighbor, he told me this in our yards while weed eating and mowing, etc. He knows.

I predict white conservatives will fall over themselves to compliment him excessively.

I do like him, though.

I suspect that Carson's health history and academic records are available to anyone interested.
You can bet, if he is a serious candidate, every fart will be analyzed by the MSM, prior to the election.
Both the democrat and republican establishment will be out in force against him.

Like him or hate him, Dr Carson has been very open as to who he is and what he stands for. He is nothing like what (then) Senator Obama was during his campaign. Period.

Does his lack of government service hurt him? In my opinion, yes. But he is a man of measurable intelligence and demonstrated character that I would like to see serving in some capacity in an administration.

yes

However, I know for a fact Dr. Carson will not be on the ballot in 2016. He would make an awesome Surgeon General or HHS secretary though.

Their group would have a better acronym if they were the Louisiana Association of Business, Industry and Agriculture.

You obviously have read neither of Dr. Carson' last two book, which are entirely about his views on many issues to every American today. If you do this, you will not make such asinine statements.

For the same reason they were obsessed with Herman Cain. If his idiotic proclamations came out of the mouth of a black Democrat they'd be wanting to hang him. All that matters is that he's a black Republican, not that he thinks the deaths of our veterans is a gift from God.

Comparing Herman Cain to Ben Carson is like comparing Zorba the Greek to Aristophanes.

Look at the liberals bringing race into the discussion. Shocker.

If Carson were white you would never have noticed him. Your tokenism is an artifact of racism.
