  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

From the "People like him," files: Carson Leads in Popularity Overall; Even with Trump Within the GOP (POLL) | ABC News

While Trump and Carson are rated very similarly overall within their party, the picture shifts outside the GOP, where Trump is considerably more unpopular. Among all adults, Carson has a 50 percent favorability rating vs. 32 percent unfavorable.

Goes to show you how many have fallen for Carson's persona over his experience.

I may trust him to operate on a patient, but he shows no signs of being Presidential material.

Of course this is all academic because he will never be President.

'Destroyed' is a bit much. 'Not elected' will suffice

Some candidates talk themselves into being a serious contender. IMO, Carson is one who will talk his way out of being a serious contender.

LOL, pushing back against the biased media is not anything likely to cause him problems.

I didn't mention that specific issue, I was referring to, his simply talking. The more this dude talks, the more he will bury himself, IMO.

Oh come on, the guy makes one ridiculous statement after another. And I'm not just talking about things he said in 1998.

I was actually quite open to Carson when I first became aware of him, because I was impressed by his background. But he has ruined that good will since then, by repeatedly talking nonsense. He's obviously not up to it; it's a free ride for Hillary if Carson gets the nomination.

Twenty years ago Ben Carson wrote a book about himself. It was basically a story about how a bad kid found Jesus, grew up to be the most honest person in his class and eventually a great surgeon.

He never thought his words would have to endure the scrutiny bestowed upon a Presidential candidate.

It's fascinating that the highly dishonest profession of politics is now overtly concerned with potential mis-statements by a soft-spoken man of remarkable achievements.

"Remarkable achievements" in a field that do not qualify one to be President.

LOL, let's do a compare and contrast.

On one hand, a man with remarkable accomplishments benefiting mankind:

On the other, a woman with no known accomplishments benefiting mankind:

Choose wisely.

The media would love to hear that the right is out to get Carson. It would fall right into their narrative that the right is all racists. Let the man be and put some faith in the electorate. You guys really don't think that you are the only one's who see oddness in this person. Let him implode under his own power, 9if he does and if he gets the knod then those who voted for him would have just voted for the next wacked out individual to pop up in front of their faces.

Heck, look what was the pie in the sky before Carson rose above him.

Soft-spoken man with stupid ideas and a victimization complex.

Soft-spoken means nothing. He has achieved nothing in the field of politics. His achievements are irrelevant.
Exactly which is why some people are voting for him. He has achieved nothing in the field of screwing over the average person. I hope Ben will become a throne in the side of both parties who keep selling us out.

I take it that the attacks against Carson are now done ...
