[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Carson made up a whole set of violent incidents for his autobiography so that he could sell a "sinner redeemed" narrative to a Christian audience. No one can confirm the incidents happened. He won't offer any evidence that the incidents happened.  His classmates remember him as quiet and bookish and obedient to authority, not some violent hellion.

He made stuff up for his book? Terrible.  Good thing Hillary didn't make any ridiculously false claims, like being penniless when she was kicked out of the White House or how she dodged bullets getting off the plane in Sarejevo.  Now about her secret unsecured server . . .

On another note, you sure seemed [b]frightened of Carson; why exactly is that[/b]?![/quote]

I can't speak for anyone else on this thread, but yes I'm frightened at the thought of anyone that unqualified, unengaged, and ill-informed being considered seriously for one of the most important, consequential, and difficult jobs in the world. That seems like a rational response to me. [/quote]

How do you define "unengaged?"

If you mean that he has not served in congress as our President once did, I must ask: have you seen congress' collective approval ratings over the past 10 years?  I'm not sure service in congress is a favorable factor for candidates any more.[/quote]

By engaged, I mean someone who pays attention to current events and world affairs.  For example, the fact that, after all of the publicity and attention given to the debt ceiling debates for the past few years, he still has no idea what it is troubles me. I  think it's perfectly fine, if not preferable, for someone other than a member of Congress to run for President, but I would like him or her to take the responsibilities that would come with it seriously. If you really want that job, you should do a lot of homework to prepare yourself for it. I think we've all seen the damage that can happen with the president has to rely on advisors because he doesn't know enough himself. That's a dangerous position to be in no matter what party you belong to. All presidents need advisors, but they should know enough to understand the issues and be able to make informed, independent decisions. It's not an entry level job and it scares me that some voters seem to think it is. [/quote]
