I am. Clearly the smartest man in the room. We will see how the media tries to bury him in the avalanche of a$$ hats that are running against him. The circus is coming to town and they will do anything to try to discredit him. He is clearly the only real choice.
Nice tie.
Brilliant observation. I expected nothing less. Typical of course.
Now what about his views? Do you have anything intelligent to say for or against his positions? Or just his tie?
When the Progressives have nothing, they result to these childish insults. It's what they do best.
If you have something of substance to say I am all ears. Otherwise you are just trolling. That seems best left for the WP. We don't condone that behavior in the Pen. Please keep your comments to policy and issues of substance.
What are his views? Take away health insurance from millions of Americans and shore up profits for the medical industrial complex?
He's got no chance. Zero. Zip. Nil.
He will make plenty of dough from his book and the lecture circuit. But America will never elect him.
And why do you say FIRST African American President?
Have I missed something? I assume you are talking about his race. What race is Obama?

He was born in Kenya after all so how much more "black" can you get? Guess Obama is not black enough for some. 
Much like Sarah Palin, Carson is a side show. I am really hoping he lasts and participates in the Debates as it is going to be very entertaining this election with the cast of thousands running for the GOP nomination. Really looking forward to his responses to the questions asked. Should be comedy gold.

You do know that Obama is half white? His mom is white.
Obama is not black.
I guess if the drive-by media keeps saying long enough, people will even allow them to change a guys race?
Where someone is born has nothing to do with race.
So what's Dr. Carson's mix? No white at all? Any Native American?
JPB you do know we all hail from Africa? It was about 200,000 years ago, but we are all mixed race.
That's right dude... you're part African.
shore up profits for the medical industrial complex? You must be thinking of Obamacare.
How would his view take away health care from anyone? Please explain?
He wants to give the power of choice back to the people and take it away from the Corporations and Politicians.
It's common sense type of stuff so I understand why some people, or most, don't get it.
Ben Carson in his own words on how to fix Healthcare.
The media has NEVER referred to the man as anything but a black man. Ever. You would have thought they would have celebrated diversity and promoted his mixed race? But that has never happened.
The good news is that Michelle is the first African American first lady ...
Race is race. You can't change it by revisionist history. I know the Progressives LOVE revisionist history, but they can't change that, ever. Obama is half white and half black and that is that. Just because Chris Matthews says it over and over and over doesn't make it true.
I wonder why Ben isn't getting the same media attention Obama got? I am pretty sure I know why.
I think he likes Drones 😛
First off, regarding ethnicity there is historical precedence.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-drop_rule
You are 100% WRONG!!!
Second, regarding Dr. Ben and health care profits. He wants to get rid of Obamacare giving insurance companies the same benefits, like excluding existing conditions, that they had before the affordable care act. That will increase profits.
It doesn't matter. The guy has zero shot. Which is probably why he isn't getting media attention.
As far as the pablum being spewed in that youtube production, that ain't a plan, it's a pipe dream.
You do know that Obama is half white? His mom is white.
Obama is not black.
I guess if the drive-by media keeps saying long enough, people will even allow them to change a guys race?
Where someone is born has nothing to do with race.
And you know Obama was born in Hawaii not Kenya like the conservatives have been claiming right.
And only a racist would care what percentage of black Obama is.

So you are calling the guy a racist that is willing to vote for the only black republican candidate?
Are you sure you don't want to revise your argument?
This is the tactic of the Progressives, typical and weak.
This guy gets my vote, that is for sure!
Of course he doesn't have a chance. Fauxnews is already pretty much attacking him. You know you are doing something right when Fox is attacking you when you are republican candidate.
Everyone knows Jeb is going to be the next POTUS.
Hillary can't get past Benghazi, which is what I thought all along. I really think Snowden is going to be Hillarys biggest obstacle.
It's never good to have an unchallenged candidate, especially someone as polarizing as Hillary.
They will keep it in the "family" and Jeb will be your next President, if we have another election.
The illusion of choice is a powerful one and Americans are suckers for thinking they even have a choice.
BTW: What stupid and dumb things does Carson say? Can you be specific? Just curious.

Nope I am saying anyone who needs to analyze the race of a candidate looks racist to me. Why do you care that Obama is half white? What does that have to do with his abilities or with Carsons?
With regards to the stupid things Carson says ignorance knows no race.

The interview of Megyn Kelly from Fauxnews playing hardball with Ben Carson ...
Ben Carson wins straw poll
only a racist would care what percentage of black Obama is
If race doesn't matter, or shouldn't, why has the media been lying about Obama's for years?
If race doesn't matter, why is there affirmative action? Why doesn't the best person get the job? I wonder how the white guy that gets shut out of a job because it was given to someone else because they were black? How does that guy feel going home and telling his family he didn't get the job because he was white?
I am always for the best person to get the job, no matter what color, race, creed, or sex. Period.
But to say race doesn't matter is simply wrong. It helps them divide and conquer and damn they are good at it.
Why do you care that Obama is half white? That is my question. Why was that so important for you to point out?
Why was so important to them to blatantly lie to the American people about his race? It seemed very important to them to make sure everyone thinks he is black. I would bet if you asked 100 people what race his is, 95% would fail. That doesn't happen by accident. It's easy to brainwash people. All they have to do is keep saying it over and over again and eventually people will begin to believe the lies.
The progressives LOVE revisionist history. They are damn good at it, the best.

No I asked you why it is so important to YOU to claim he is not black because one of his parents was white? Why do YOU care? You seem obsessed with proving he really is not black for some reason.
From an outward appearance he appears to be a black man. That is all that those who are racist need to hate him. IMHO those of us who voted for him really don't care what race he is as we voted for the man not his race.

I don't hate the man, I don't even know him. I would like to smoke a joint with him.
I do loathe his policies and most of his views. I have more venom for Hillary than Obama.
I do not have to prove anything, I have the facts on my side. There is no gray area here.
Everyone knows he is not black, but yet I have never heard the media call him anything else but? Why?
This is how they divide and conquer. Clearly they don't want to unite the people. If they did, they would have played it up that he was 50/50. It would have been an advantage and brought even more people to him. Instead they polarized him by calling him black and wanting certain factions to hate him for his color. This is really simple stuff and the drive by media is not really that savvy. This was a talking point that was handed down and the media was told to always refer to him as a black man. They want the divisiveness that it causes. And really, you are falling for it hook, line, and sinker.
For someone who does not hate the man you are obsessed with the fact that he is not 100% African American.
Do you really think it would make a difference to a racist that he is only half black? The fact that he has any black ancestry is enough to make a racist hate him.
You are kidding yourself if you think it would make a difference.
If it isn't important, why does the media lie about it? Can you answer that question?
A racist is a racist and they are a VERY small minority of the population. Very small. The media does a good job of stereotyping and perpetuating the stereotype.
Divide and conquer, works every time.
BTW:
Today on Fauxnews, they had Trump on to comment on Ben Carson winning the straw poll (why not have Ben on?). Trump basically dismissed it as being "bought". Trump also showed his true colors by bashing Rand for ending the Patriot Act. Of course, it is all for your safety and according to Trump, his phone conversations are boring and if it will save lives, he is good with them listening in. Trump is a douche.

Obama is seen as being black. Why? Because he looks black to the average citizen. The media portrays him as such. No mystery there my friend.
If you think the media reporting him as being Mulatto would make any difference in how he is perceived you kidding yourself. People will hate him for being half black just a much as if he was 100% black IMHO.
And you are naïve if you think that only a small percentage of the U.S. population is racist is some shape or form. I know many people who make racist comments yet are not hard core racists.
You don't have to be a White Supremacist to be a racist.
Just curious what exactly do you think would change if the press highlighted he was mulatto and not 100% black? What great conspiracy do you think is being perpetrated? Do you think people who are hating him for being black would suddenly accept him because he is half white?
Regarding Trump he is a media whore who loves being the center of attention. He is nothing but a sideshow and what he says has zero impact on Ben Carson's chances of getting the GOP nomination which is also zero.

You are right. That is why it was important that the black community looked at him as though he was black and not half white. They were manipulating the black vote, not the white vote. At the same time they insight the racist and get them all excited. Divide and conquer, it works every time.
If you are Foxnews, why have Trump come on at all? Who cares what he thinks? The sheeple that watch that crap do and they know how to sway opinion. It is done in the way they portray the candidate and even down to how they ask the questions. If Jeb had won, I guarantee you they would have had him on to promote the win and talk about his campaign. They gave Ben zero time.
Of course Dr. Ben Carson doesn't have a chance, he isn't in the club. But he is the best man for the job. I would vote him and only him. If he doesn't make it, I won't be surprised. In fact, I would be surprised if the American people are smart enough to elect him.
