Ben Carson: Bungling Surgeon

I am going to commit my SJ.com time this week to digging up the posts where you argue that Mitt Romney's Harvard Law degree is indicative of his strong work ethic.

 

College seemed like too much work for me, let alone Harvard Law.

But, in comparing Obama with McCain and Kerry, two guys who had spent years in the Senate, Alma appeared to be saying that Obama had established a reputation among his peers, or even with the public, for having a strong work ethic.

Prior to entering the Senate, Obama was best known for his convention speech.

I'm not doubting he's a hard worker in general. I'm just not sure he had established a reputation for such prior to his running for President.

 

I am sensing a pretty strong whiff of sarcasm?

 

Missing votes isn't good, but it happens sometimes. But missing intelligence committee meetings, when your party is staking everything in this election on being able to tame the big boogity boogity from overseas, seems a tad myopic, no?

 

As applied to this candidate, indeed.

If you would have told me 10 years ago that that shit would fly, though, I wouldn't have believed you.

I have no doubt now that he could drop the n-bomb and lose nothing by way of support.

He'd just be "saying what everyone else was thinking."

 

Clinton and Kerry both voted for the Iraq war without reading the classified National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq:

Few senators read Iraq NIE report

Should probably disqualify her for the presidency, huh?

 

I'm not voting for her. If the GOP fields a semi-sane candidate so be it, otherwise it's write-in time.

 

Wrong wrong wrong. He's avoiding learning secrets that he could inadvertently reveal on the campaign trail. It's a sacrifice worthy of Jesus

 

To me, it's not nearly as bad as a national candidate calling your sitting president a "feckless weakling" on national TV. That is appalling to me. Our democratic process is broken.

 

Completely.

A good campaign knows you put that stuff out there through a whisper campaign, and then let the press pick it up and run with it:

 

And, when you have nothing, just go back to an old script, and re-run it:

 

Now please present your evidence that those stories were started by the opposing campaigns.
