Top Republican Presidential Candidate Says Anarchy May Force Cancellation Of 2016 Election

"Dr. Ben Carson, a popular Tea Party activist and Fox News contributor who says he will likely seek the Republican nomination for president in 2016, said on Sunday that he is seriously concerned that there will not be 2016 elections in the United States because the country could be in anarchy by that point. His reasons: the growing national debt, ISIS, and the U.S. Senate's refusal to consider legislation passed by the GOP-controlled House of Representatives...

...    CARSON: I hope that that's not going to be the case. But certainly there's the potential because you have to recognize that we have a rapidly increasing national debt, a very unstable financial foundation, and you have all these things going on like the ISIS crisis that could very rapidly change things that are going on in our nation. And unless we begin to deal with these things in a comprehensive way and in a logical way there is no telling what could happen in just a couple of years.

Carson then noted that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has "over three hundred bills sitting on his desk" that he won't bring to the floor for a vote, "thereby thwarting the will of the people." He made no mention of the Republican House's refusal to consider popular Senate-passed bipartisan measures like comprehensive immigration reform and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. ...

Let me make one small correction on this Thinkprogress ,,,ahem, article, Carson is NOT a Tea Party activist!

I don't see it happening.

It took us 50 + years to get where we are at today.  I don't see things changing big time in 1.5 years.   True lasting change takes time.

Yeah, I'd say if we were to keep on this track for another 5 years, all Hell would probably break loose, but thank God the Dims are about to be out of power, so I just don't see it happening.

Carson's blowing all the right horns, but very few people can hear them right now.

BTW, FWIW, linking ThinkProgress here ain't gonna score you many points. Just sayin'...

He also didn't mention that the Constitution requires that some of these "bills" the libs in the Senate have passed, must start in the House of Reps.
Not the Senate and then the house of Reps.

Plus, the stateless society yayhoo's are worried that we won't have anarchy by 2016.  Private-property will still be private-property.  The 'individual' still won't be individual enough.

Carson's gotta reign-in his high IQ sometimes.  He's getting there slowly-but-surely, but 2016 is probably too soon for him to launch a Presidential-run.

Wow ... ooops ... my bad   Think Progress??? Thought that I had read article in Fox.  At any rate, the mention of "anarchy" by a potential candidate is what caught my attention.

Brietbart any better?  Obviously several news sources have quoted him during his interview with Fox News.

Isn't Dr. Carson an Independent?

He said he was once a liberal Democrat, then changed to the Republican party and now is an Independent.

I'm confused.  If he's an Independent, wouldn't that split the conservative vote, guaranteeing that a Democrat gets elected?

I've gotta' see more out of Carson than just his stand on Obamacare.  I'm thinking that ACA was just too darn much for him to swallow and thought he would have a much better chance of getting it turned away if he went public-run for something.     

Top notch in his field, having gained his status through sheer hard work and determination.  Still, it just seems that that same work and determination effort will have to be applied to politics for him to make a showing and garner conservative votes.

He would have to try to run as Republican  as he would need their money. Ed Rollins made a point about a possible Carson run this morning. He said he could not win because he could not raise the necessary money. I like Dr. Carson, but I believe Rollins made a very realistic point. I think he would best serve as head of a department such as HHS.

Note the address in the OP, and how they refered to himm as TEA, which is an outright lie, he, if anything, is a pure RINO!

Here's the address, I highlighted it in red to represent the fact it's communist, not just liberal.

I believe, and I have said so before, that prior to the scheduled mid-term elections, there will be a pretext for Obama to declare Martial Law and cancel the election.  Martial Law will last more than two years and Obama will remain President in the absence of a Presidential election.  The pretext could be rioting over the country such as we have seen in Ferguson, MO, or it could be the eco crowd that marched last weekend and left garbage all over New York, or just anything which he, at his own discretion, considers reason for Martial law. I believed this is why he has replaced many top military officers with some of his own puppets.  I believe this is why he has given military grade arms to local police departments. And has opened our southern border to anyone who cares to enter the country, and according to what I've been reading, a lot of these "Children" are teenage boys with spiky hair and gang tatoos.  The gangs to which they belong are the most vicious, uncontrollable in the world.   This, too, could be his pretext.  But whatever it iw, there will be something.
