In saying that Obamacare is the worst thing that has happened in this country since slavery, Carson is showing how out of touch he is.

A homeowner dissatisfied with standard spacing of the floor tiles carped it was the worst thing that ever happened to him in his life. What a remarkably wonderful life this guy has had, I thought. I also rethought giving him a break on the final payment.

His campaign is a fools quest.

Got this email today - and I am PUMPED!


Dear Patriotic American,

I need your help. Please give me your permission to put your name on the 48 page booklet shown below. It’s really important.

How can that be? The answer is that when I put your name, and the name of your city and state on this booklet, it dramatically increases the likelihood that the person receiving it will read it.

In other words, by clicking here and putting your name on this 5” x 8” booklet it truly becomes a personal gift from you to an African American who is considering voting for Dr. Ben Carson for president.

What is in this booklet?

It contains...

A short biography of Ben Carson
Ben Carson’s amazing speech to Al Sharpton’s National Action Network (one of his best)
Ben Carson’s op-ed piece in USA Today
A transcript of Ben Carson’s dramatic foray into Harlem
An article from Time magazine by the attorney for Michael Brown and Travon Martin arguing that African Americans should take a second look at Ben Carson
Ben Carson’s forthright statement after the shootings in South Carolina
An article titled “ The General and the Doctor ” that points out the amazing similarities between the life story of Dwight Eisenhower and Benjamin Carson, and
A brief article about why Ben Carson is well-prepared to serve as President of the United States.

So far, we've published more than 150,000 copies and they were gone almost overnight. The demand, frankly, caught us off guard.

Now, we are going to print another 200,000 copies and that’s why I’m hoping that you give me your permission to put your name on one or more of these powerful and persuasive booklets.

Right now our volunteers are knocking on doors in African American neighborhoods in Iowa and South Carolina and as soon as I receive your permission to print your name, city and state on one (or more) of these booklets, I will pass the booklet(s) along to volunteers in these crucial states.

So, won’t you please do that right now?

Thank you.



I am just dying to read this "booklet" - but I think I'll wait for the block-buster movie!

Maybe if he had sung to me I would signing up to support his brilliant campaign. He needs to woo me further. I'm going to play hard to get.

... I think that's the way to go.

But maybe he'll win you over with his "booklet" at some point down the road ...
