It was getting close to voting time. If its a woman or Black person you can damn well guarantee conservatives will show their true colors -- drop their games and show where their true allegiance lays.

I just find it humorous that Carson's #s collapsed the moment they found out he, the black man, is really a great, nice guy growing up (contradicting his fake stories of a troubled violent kid in his book). It's like they needed to believe he was a violent, reformed beast before they were comfortable polling as a supporter of his. It's as if these conservatives have a world view on what specific people are suppose to be and here Carson comes upsetting that world view as a stand up respectable doctor all through his life. That pissed them off. wtf?

I find nothing adorable about that kook Ben Carson.

However, nice try.


And yes, I DUrec'd it anyway.

My best to you.
