Stonehenge was a set of dominoes for dinosaurs before God made them extinct for supporting gay marriage. #bencarsonwikipedia

My cousin and her idiot husband are Carson supporters. One of the main reasons they like him? Religion.

 

My cousin supports him as well...Why? Because he is a Christian. It's a thing

Like Juan says, since Carson believes in Jesus he lives by a superior set of rules than the rest of us.

But does he drive a Chevy?

[Angelsjunky]

It doesn't get much more stupid than supporting someone because he says "Jesus" a lot.

 

Anyhow, what throws me is that he wrote an autobiography in his 30s. I mean, really?

[Rico]

Why is your cousin's husband an idiot? 

For marrying into the family.

I'm with you on this.  What kind of a douchebag writes an autobiography in their 30's?

Politicians who use religion to gain votes are so transparent. The only ones who don't see it are religious people

[Spirit]

You could paint the entire side of a building with that broad brush.

[Angelsjunky]

Geoff, it is silly regardless of who does it. Politicians, as a general rule and across the aisle, are egomaniacs.

[Spirit]

Right.  Like I said, I'm with you on this.  I haven't seen an egomaniac as douchey as Carson since Obama.

That's actually a poor comparison. Obama comes off as very down to earth and is personable. Carson is just plain arrogant and lacks any of the charisma Obama has. I may not agree with everything Obama does, but he's definitely likable––I think that's why Obama does really well at campaigning and winning elections.

AJ is really the liberal version of Juan isn't he.

 

Maybe Juan is his alter ego.

"comes off..."

 

Carson is definitely not as polished as Obama.

Out of left field. What's with the douchy comment?

[nate]

Dude you go crazy with the generalities and defend everything Obama does.

[Jason]

Having extreme political leanings on both sides makes these threads fun and entertaining. Imagine how boring this would be if everyone agreed or were more centered.

[Angelsjunky]

Dude you go crazy with the generalities and defend everything Obama does.

 

Huh? Read the thread above - I wasn't defending Obama. I just agreed with Geoff that it is silly to write an autobiography no matter who you are. Obama is no exception. And how am I going crazy with generalities? I've picked on fundy Christians and Fox viewers, but that's about it.

 

p.s. Do you realize the irony of your post, accusing me of generalities by making a sweeping generality of my posting habits?

Can we all agree that most of us here are douchy from time to time?
