Carson's big government agenda now includes expanding the war on drugs, ramping up protection of all 4 borders, and expanding the education department...

This dude is not a conservative. At all.

Like McCain and Romney? That worked out so well

McCain ran a terrible campaign and Romney pandered. There is a difference between pandering and moving to the center. He should have owned and expanded on his "takers" comment. But let's nominate a staunch anti-abortionist (for example) and see what it gets us in the GE.

The key is finding a candidate who can attract moderates and bridge the gap between the far-right and the establishment. Rubio is the most capable of doing this IMO.

Let's be real, no one was beating Obama in 2008. I think Romney was the best general election candidate in 2012, but that was a terrible GOP field consisting of lunatics like Cain, Bachmann, and Santorum. He was also effectively painted as detached from the common American, and Obama was still pretty popular. Someone like Cruz (who actually is articulate) won't win in a GE any more than Bernie Sanders will.

I like his tax plan. What is wrong with protecting the borders?

Nothing. Money is the problem. Do we really need to focus on all 4 or can we just work on the one to start? He would also need to find the defense funding for it but I'm sure he'd just put it it on Uncle Sam's credit card.

It was going up with or without the ACA.

Nothing stops. Nothing.

Regardless of your feelings about him, Carson seems to me like he is a ticking time bomb. He's made a number of outlandish statements that excite the base, but he's come close to the edge of irrational a few times. I just think if inevitable that he is going to step over it soon, and it's going to be a doozy.

You understand you have zero credibility, right?

What about that ticking sound of the FBI investigation of Cruella DeHill?

I like him as a person and greatly admire his life journey, but I've never seen such an intelligent man spout so much nonsense.

I'm not sure he even wants to be President. He's been on a book tour instead of campaigning for several weeks now, but he is still the odds-on favorite in Iowa. He isn't remotely qualified for the office. My guess is he gets a cozy cabinet position like surgeon-general or he becomes a conservative commentator.

No kidding, but not at the exponential rate it has since the passing of the POS law.

What I think many of you guys fail to understand is that it's a different world for self-employed individuals with regard to health insurance. Not being on a group plan and not qualifying for any type of government subsidy screws you big time. I'm over paying like hell to make up for the freebie BS being given out.

You may have a point if history is taken into consideration, just about every member of the VN Conservative Club of Prophets guaranteed Obama wouldn't beat Romney in 2012. Reverse curse?!

Personally, I slightly underestimated how many ignorant ass Americans there are. I was off by about 2%

No

Every time LG makes a claim like this (gas prices, the market, etc)

He's always wrong. It does the exact opposite.

If qualifications are that important, why are two people who have almost no political experience whatsoever topping the GOP polls? I'm no fan of Obama, but at least be consistent. If that truly mattered Kasich, Christie, and Jeb would be topping the polls.
