Dr. Carson is demonizing all of the social programs he has benefited from. Isn’t that the very definition of hypocrisy? How does he not understand that other people can also benefit from social programs? Does he not understand it, or is he trying to earn points with the Tea Party?"

Affirmative action recipiant, welfare recipiant, from single parent home, all the things conservatives usually go on about. And if elected would he push for reductions in the programs he benefitted from? Probably, not much of a Republican if he doesn't.

All the things he wants to take away from others.

So he stays the best I guess.

This is fantasy time for folks in both political parties. All the things he SAYS he wants to take away from others should be viewed in same context as the Great Wall of Trump. Trust them at your own risk.

How exactly would he position himself to not benefit from affirmative action? He had no choice in that. He said he wasn't even aware of it until later in your own quote.

Nowhere do you show that was something he wanted or needed, it's just another lame liberal trick.

So speaking of lies, are you an Israeli or American this week since you've claimed to be both?

If these things delivered one Carson for every 10,000 Michael Browns, conservatives would want to increase them.

Alas!

He was a kid and had no choice about his mom taking welfare. She hated being on welfare and got off it as soon as she could.

And Carson was pissed that Affirmative Action got him into Yale. He didn't need it. He had great grades and SAT scores.
