Certainly he was unprepared, unqualified and of limited intellectual groundings but he was re-elected! Certainly the opposite of Obama is what's required.
And when people begin looking seriously at a candidate like Hillary Clinton then you know something is terribly, terribly wrong in American politics.
Sadly for the Republicans, history didn't begin nor end with Reagan.
Allan Keyes is awesome though!
So replacing one unqualified person with another is a good thing?
Alan Keyes is absolutely bat guano insane.
Absolutely. But have you listened to him speak? This guy can so suck you in with his cadence and charisma that you find yourself going "yeah, lets jail the gays and institute a state religion". Then he stops speaking and you come back to yourself.
I loved the scene with Alan Keyes in Borat.
I have never seen it actually. My favorite is during the 96 presidential election, Rage Against The Machine was playing somewhere he went, and he ended up crowd surfing. Next republican debate one of the candidates(Alexander maybe, or Buchannan) asked him to repudiate the bands terrorist message. Much to my surprise, he refused, talking about how he had been "lifted up" by the hands and hearts and courage of the young people in this country. With his delivery, it was a remarkable shocking moment, that needless to say was ignored by the press because, well, Alan Keyes.
Edit: I misremembered it a bit. It was 2000, and here is the story(yes, it is Michael Moore, but it is funny)(the Keyes part starts about 5:30 in):
You know what, its now beyond that, its time we, WE THE PEOPLE, tell them, the boob and anybody else who wants to get in the way, on my side or yours...get your skinny and fat butts outta the way... you can't shove this turkey down our throats, this overly foul fowl that the boob rolled out with its feathers still on...get outta our faces with this half baked idea.But his own party, the GOP, is 100% against him. GOP pols, backed heavily by insurers, overwhelmingly favor the mandate.
No way...race has nothing to do with it. it's just some people don't agree with dr. carsons assertion that obamacare is worse then slavery.
Here's what I would say all concerned should do first...I have read a lot of nationalist propaganda from all over the world. They have had various effects on me, such as laughing insanely, getting angry, or being simply amused.
Yours however, is EXCEPTIONAL in that it made me puke.
As for the good doctor, may my comment be that worse things have happened such as the Tea Party, the latest Hollywood, and US soccer (football or whatever)

Well, I, too, am glad you agree with the proof that the Democratic plantation has no plan for African Americans but to keep them voting for y'all, keep them subservient... but thank god for the internet and curious minds who are tired of hearing the rot MSM puts out in your behalf.Thanks for making my point for me, that plantation comment is the proof.
Besides making a fool of himself, by stating Obamacare is worse than Obamacare, I don't detest the man. He should thank his lucky stars he walks today because of liberals who who fought for his civil rights.
It was Bauer.I remember that. It was some religious mousy guy that chastised him for the concert.
It was Bauer.
I think its a plausible point, so cannot find much to fault... Point is he could though, and while I do not at this point think it advisable, I would take him any day over the boob... Carson is a patriot and proud of it...Kobe did fine eventually, but he didn't even start until his second or third season. The President of the United States doesn't have the luxury of coming in off the bench at first.
Obama was unprepared, and not well qualified. However, I don't think that the answer to that is to replace him with another ill-prepared and unqualified person. Voting for Obama in 2008 because he was the "opposite of Bush" was a mistake, and voting for Carson in '16 because he's the "opposite of Obama" would also be a mistake.
Whatever does that mean???
Best things about Dr. Carson are that he is super articulate, he is absolutely fearless, he cannot be called a racist credibly and he is, in fact, an actual brain surgeon...so his intellectual abilities are beyond question.
While I think Obama is, indeed racist, I do not hear him being called that all the time... and just because you are white has no bearing on whether someone is a racist or not...Why can't he be called racist? Obama is called racist all the time, and he is half white.
Does the slavery reference even earn an accusation of "playing the race card?"
I have been told he is a Constitutional Scholar, have no independent evidence however... but Obama was what, an adjunct prof of Con Law...little help it seems to have done for him...or, sadly, for us.and how does being a doctor prepare one for being president of the united states? Does dr. carson have a law degree or any background in constitutional law.
While I think Obama is, indeed racist, I do not hear him being called that all the time... and just because you are white has no bearing on whether someone is a racist or not...
Show me some credible information, with trustworthy sources, wherein Dr. Carson has said something racist.
Slavery has been committed on all races by all races...so maybe the humanity card?
You mean evidence like having his Justice Department drop the slam dunk case against the New Black Panthers... or how he immediately jumped on the side of Professor Henry Lewis Gates against the white police officer doing his job and fully vindicated...hmmm...oh, it certainly could not be because Prof Gates was black was it...nah, just happenstance...probably...There's less evidence Obama's racist. Yet you believe he is. Odd that. :coffeepap

It's not hard to follow. You chose the quote, attached it to your thoughts, your point. That makes it yours as well. You cannot divorce yourself from it. It's the same as if you said it all by yourself. If you don't understand this, you don't want to.
So, your case against Dr. Carson as a racist?
