Neurosurgeon’s Speeches Have Conservatives Dreaming of 2016

No he's not! He said his personal belief is that long guns are more appropriate in rural areas but he'd rather see them out of cities. That is equivalent to Ron Paul's stance on abortion - his personal view, but it would be a state issue.

There is no way he would run with gun control being a platform issue. And he's said he is a conservative and conservatives are taking a lot of interest in him.

Why would conservatives care about a doctor from Maryland? He's a nobody politically and will never get anywhere in a GOP primary. The only use to the elites is to run as an independent spoiler for whoever the GOP nominee is.... and they've given him a boost by getting him to dress down the president and put him all over the media. He's retiring and has plenty of time on his hands . i think that's the plan.

Ben Carson called himself a "Flaming Liberal" back when he was in college. So, he does have some progressive tendencies and we can see it when he talks about the 2nd Amendment and Education.

In the comments to the OP someone mentioned meeting him several years ago and asking if he had any interest in politics. He said that he had been approached for a high profile possition in the gvmt and turned it down, but wouldn't elaborate.

That would be under the Obama administration.

Of course he's a progressive, he's lived and worked in Maryland for years and grew up in Detroit!

That's no bastion of conservatism. Although it wouldn't surprise me if he poses as one to steal votes from the GOP nominee on behalf of his masters. He will be well paid of course.

as were most of us, but we took the same path he did. If you continue the sentence you are quoting he said he became increasingly conservative as he got older.

What has he said about education that you don't like?

He was recruited to run a neuro-surgery unit in the number 1 neuro-surgery hospital in the country. If you are a MD, you don't pass opportunities like that down.

Winston Churchill: "Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains.”

Carson does not strike me as a dishonest or greedy man. And then there's this....

So apparently being a doctor means your qualified to be president?

I like Carson better than Cruz, but that isn't saying much.
