The GOP's Scariest Candidate

[Locutus]

Funny thing about this thread is that Carson has jumped to the top spot in a lot of national Republican polls since Libby first started it. 

Scary.

It seems to me the article CLEARLY suggests that those at Johns Hopkins are extremely biased and politically motivated by the left.  The question in my mind jumps out...why ISN'T Carson celebrated by Hopkins?

Carson's story is a tremendous one....

If Carson was a democrat, I would only imagine that there would be statues and portraits of him all over that place.....

Some one suggested he had a "God Complex", and maybe he did, does, I really don't know.  I haven't heard anything to come from his mouth that would indicate this.  I haven't read anything that suggests this.

I see a man, who is extremely intelligent, who is concerned about the path this nation is going down. I believe he feels he can turn this country around in the right direction.  He is a man who is extremely articulate and who thinks about what he wants to say carefully before he speaks.  How refreshing!  A leader, who has enough knowledge to assimilate intelligent people around him, to give him advice, to do the right things to become a strong POTUS.

I am a huge fan of Mr. Carson.

The reason he is jumping to near the top of many polls is that finally people are getting a chance to actually listen to him, and not the media trying to demonize him, like they LOVE to do to anybody, who is conservative.

That would be DOCTOR Carson to you, peasant! And if you ever got a chance to talk to him in person, he would quickly remind you of that.

  Hey Bird Boy, I'll bet you a $100 that your Doctor  won't win shit after they catch on to how "SLOW" and stupid he really is.      He's as slow as you are.

He will never get the nomination.  The conservative base is primarily comprised of uneducated, aging, rural, white voters who will never vote for a person of color and the Republican establishment knows it.

I have never been around a bunch "hateful" people like you guys.......talk about afraid. 

The liberals I know are the most hateful and rude people I know....that is a fact.

Afraid of what, exactly?

[Henry Hawk]

Afraid of what, exactly?

Conservatives. 

[Exterminator]

Conservatives.

Well, I guess that's true.  We're afraid of you crashing the economy again, of passing laws based on your warped religious fantasies, of destroying the planet, of starting unnecessary wars and of just overall douchebaggery.

[Henry Hawk]

We are exactly the same.  Both want what is best.  You are just as dramatic to think as you do and you claim I do.

Except you are hateful about it. 

btw,

I know nothing good is going to follow this post....but had to say it.

Really? Henry, would you like to ... uh, er, restate some, most of what you wrote above? If you have been watching your hero in action you're either too embarrassed or in denial. 

I waited this long to answer you because, although I was offended by your dismissal of not only Johns Hopkins the institution, but also the personnel, past and present, from physician to cleaning lady, who had the audacity to NOT be praising one of their own who took a different path (God and politics)  ).

I also took what you wrote personally because I recently had the good luck to have a doctor who ... well, read on:

Not long ago I saw my doctor, an Internist/Dermatologist, about a troublesome place on my forehead above my right eye, and he said he wanted to refer me to someone else. When I learned the location of his office -- in a busy area of Northern Virginia about an hour from my home -- I asked if he could refer me to someone closer, and he said, "No. He's the best in the field. Call him now. Make an appointment. Today." I did, and got an appointment 4 weeks hence. 

Turned out he's a Johns Hopkins specialist who was chosen for the University of Pennsylvania's prestigious fellowship training in MOHS Micrographic Surgery and all other aspects of dermatologic surgery. He is a Fellow of ACMS who has his own Outpatient Surgical Hospital. My visit was preceded by a package with complete instructions on how to get there, what to expect, before, during, and after.

(I think we are all familiar with what surgery in a busy hospital is like, so I prayed and shivered and expected (what?)  and was completely surprised. No pain medication. Just a quick sensation of cold. And then,
there we were, me, the Doctor (who was introduced to me earlier) and his assistant. 

During the surgery, the Doctor and nurse chatted with me, explained what was being done, asked me questions about my background, my work, if I had any questions, etc. Then I was taken to a patient waiting room where there were snacks and drinks, and the most  interesting thing of all happened: the Doctor & Assistant  walked in with a pleasant overweight smiling woman, and introduced her as someone whose husband (also  a patient) was from Princeton, W.VA) and stayed a minute or two to chat with us!

Oh well, HH, I've strayed from the original subject, but I think you get the idea.

What in the hell makes Trump think he's so special that he should get $5mil to do a debate anyway. If I even had a remote idea of voting for him it's certainly gone now.

He isn't going to get a penny.... CNN is going to make a TON of money from the debate..........he wants the $5 MILL to go to veterans groups.  And like it or not, the viewership is UP because of Trump.  I think he has a very valid point and a GREAT idea.
