Well, I'm torn on this. Do we point out the idiocy of his statement….or run with it in hopes of getting something done about prison/sentancing reform. Lord knows if conservaitve decide that the way to reduce the number of gays (short of putting a bullet in our heads as the activist in California is promoting) is to reduce the number of prisoners, perhaps they'd jump on board with sentancing reform….
Their idea of "prison reform" would probably be to increase the amount of solitary confinement and impose new penalties for "gay conversions" that happen in the prison system.
So would solitary confinement make me attracted to other men I can’t have sex with. Also would being released make me straight again.
IF true (and of course, that's a HUGE IF), sure seems like the Conservatives will be forced to end their support of for-profit prisons, no? Oh, wait, that would require logic…
Carson is proof that running as a Republican makes you stupid.
Wrong, deluded, bigoted, paranoid, certainly, but not stupid. His biography is enlightening, and should disqualify him from running for office….a brilliant guy , pioneering neurosurgeon, but with a violent temper, who attacked, among others, his mother, a friend, and a classmate, .Scripture, he says, saved him from committing a crime.
We need to take him seriously as a candidate – the Republicans certainly will. Calling him "stupid" does not bring light to the issues.
I don't know about taking him seriously. The GOP (and the Dems) always have some exotic freaks running at this stage in the game. Remember the Rev. Marion "Pat" Robertson in 1988? Or Pat Buchanan in 1992 and 1996? Gary Bauer ran once. There were Michelle Bachman AND Herman Cain. (And the Dems have had their share of out-of-the-mainstream candidate. Remember Mike Gravel? Dennis Kucinich? Al Sharpton?)
I would place the good doctor (and I use that term in describing his neurosurgical skills only) in the same category as Bachman, Cain, Robertson, etc. If I had to select a nut case who is a serious threat, it would be Huckabee or Cruz.
You missed my point.
There is evidence that once upon a time he was a smart guy.
Since he's become the Republican flavor of the week it's nothin but a big stream of stupid coming out of his mouth. It's like he stopped his steady diet of medical journals and substituted NewsMax and the WSJ.
That goes without saying. Running for the Repub nomination does lead to stupidity. They have to appeal to the baser elements of their base. Jeb Bush is trying to be the exception. But it won't work for him.
Wait–this guy went to medical school sometime after 1973 (when the APA removed homosexuality from the DSM)? I know he's neither a psychiatrist nor a psychologist but psych classes are part of premed and med school. Did he sleep through those classes? I wonder what his mark in them was.
Guys WAIT. I've seen this movie!
There's is one silver lining to all this. Every time one of these fools (i.e., U.S. Rep Steven King and the Latinos with the cataloupe calves, the Idaho state rep who didn't realize that the stomach and the uterus were not connected, Todd Akin, and this homophobic moron) opens his mouth, a millenial thinks twice before voting Republican.
