    Funny how the NQT crowd somehow thinks they're immune from the "F- you, I've got mine, mindset" they claim me and conservatives on the board display.

    Wonder how they're helping the poor today, or does watching football trump their supposed values?

    Perhaps not, but it is disingenuous at best for Carson to say he had no relationship with the company.

    "Bullshit" is not spelled "disingenuous."

    In matters regarding politics, one commonly acknowledged spelling is S-T-A-R-M-A-N

    I don't really see anything redeeming about Ben Carson as possible president. He might have been a pretty good surgeon, I guess.

    As a candidate, I think Trump has him pegged pretty well.

    Who does? That wasn't the point of my post. The replies to Kristof's tweet go well beyond agreeing that he wouldn't make a good President.

    C'mon. I think it's clear he was better than "pretty good".

    What's he said about him, other than to apply the same criticism he's applied to Bush to him, with a caveat? Bush is low energy. Carson is super low energy!

    One reason, I hypothesize, that conservatives love Ben Carson is because he's emblematic of their tenet that the way out of poverty for blacks is sheer gumption. They'd have loved Barack Obama's story, as well, had it come attached to their principles.

    1. Who does? Apparently loads of Republicans

    2. I'll give him that.

    3. I think Super Low Engergy is accurate and should disqualify one for being president. Who wants someone to deal with Putin as soon as they wake up from their nap?

    If you're thinking vice versa, I'm sure that's the case. But not for the same reason. Liberals don't think blacks should all start trying harder, suddenly, starting at age 4.
