It’s been an interesting weekend for Ben Carson. Friday morning, Politico broke a story that Carson had supposedly lied about applying and being accepted to West Point. Many people thought his campaign was dead then and there. But by the afternoon, the conservative pushback had begun and Carson’s supporters were able to partially rebut the sloppy reporting. Carson turned defeat into a victory, raising $3.5 million in a week, most likely because his supporters were so infuriated at the attacks of the Main Stream Media [Carson Raises $3.5 million this week amidst media scrutiny, by Jonah Bennett, Daily Caller, November 7, 2015] And it was unfair. It’s absurd how eager the MSM is to pick apart Carson’s past after years of shilling for Obama. Conservatives are right to point out the double standards. But what is Carson’s real agenda? After all, $3.5 million buys a lot of steak dinners, which is the most likely fate for where the money will end up considering Carson’s record of blowing through donors’ money for personal luxuries. But the real betrayal came when Carson announced two new policies which should have the effect of devastating Carson’s Middle American supporters. As Carson was playing the victim on Friday, he also announced he supported the catastrophic Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Friday that he supports the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement negotiated by the White House – aligning himself more with the GOP’s establishment wing than with the social conservatives who have powered his campaign. Mr. Carson’s backing of the 12-nation Pacific trade deal places him at odds with Donald Trump, his chief rival for support among anti-establishment Republicans. Mr. Carson had expressed skepticism about the TPP, saying in a June interview with the Huffington Postthat he would not give President Barack Obama “fast-track” authority to negotiate the deal. [Ben Carson Backs White House’s TPP Trade Deal, by Reid Epstein, Wall Street Journal, November 6, 2015] This is an almost comical example of the Beltway Right in action. Carson is winning support because he is perceived as a Christian victimized by an unfair media. But the trade deal he supports will enable more mass immigration and economically devastate his supporters. That’s not all. Carson then went to Puerto Rico and decided to go The Full Jeb by supporting Puerto Rican statehood. Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson endorsed statehood for Puerto Rico at a Sunday campaign event on the island. “In a Carson administration, I will leave no stone unturned in my efforts to secure this important step in Puerto Rico’s history — establishing Estado 51,” said the retired neurosurgeon, highlighting the strategic benefits of the Caribbean island’s location relative to the United States mainland. [Carson Backs Puerto Rico statehood, by Deena Zaru and Elizabeth Landers, CNN, November 8, 2015]. Leave aside that this grants the Democratic Party more congressmen and two more Senators in perpetuity. Statehood would saddle the United States with a territory which has almost nothing to offer besides an incompetent workforce of permanent dependents and a crushing debt. Any attempt to “cut spending” would be dead on arrival permanently. The good news? This idiotic stance will hopefully hurt Carson’s showing in Iowa, which is a must win for him. We’ve had our fun, but this Long Con on decent Americans is really starting to wear thin.

And yes that is a dead person's leg in Hitlerys dumpster.

I'm wondering whether, after eight years of communist/Islamic Obama, people will elect another black president.

I rather doubt it. I think Oblabbula has pissed in that bowl of Cheerio's.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voter... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
That is always a wise stance. I must say though that a number of people I know that voted for Oblabbula ( idiots all ) have told me that they will never vote for another black. That is anecdotal I know, and may not be reflective of the nation as a whole, but there it is. I really think it depends on what TPTB want. I personally think it is all irrelevant, because with electronic voting, it does not matter. As Stalin said, the only thing that counts is who counts the votes.

The people of Puerto Rico should be given a choice in a vote ....statehood or independence ,without the 3rd option of the status quo. They have been in this colony /territory status since 1898 . Their people have been American citizens since 1917 . Their men has served in the military for a century . Yes they send their dregs to Congress as non-voting members ;but it is not so clear cut that the libs would dominate 'state politics ' on the island. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
But... Let me guess they didn't stipulate they "WOULDN'T" vote for another Democrap??? Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!

Hell no!! They are ALL yellow dog demonturds. One claims to also be a born again Christian. I told that it was impossible for him to be a Christian & a demonturd at the same time. He got quite upset, but he could not explain the contradiction and how he would justify it at Judgement Day. He could not answer, for example his party pushed abortion, murdering millions of innocent babies, and how they were strong supporters of gays. He could not answer.
