Wow!!  That woman has big hands.

Actually, that woman has big melons. And there's nothing wrong with that.

That's right! I got it going on! I'm for lower taxes, anti abortion and I love women. My platform is bucks, babies and boobs....

Noted, squire. Stocking up on imagery as we speak. Simultaneously. Possibly even legally.

Could very well be a prelude before he announces his candidacy.

I wonder if Huckabee will also be dropped by FOX.

Could be that now that Republicans control both houses of  Congress and a majority of the state legislatures, FOX figures the Republicans don't need Dr Carson's gimmick (i.e. he's black) to put someone in the White House.

Therefore, FOX has no more need of Dr Carson's services.

Well, that would certainly be Cruz or Walker.   

He and his wife were substitute hosts for Sean Hannity on his radio program one day.  I happened to be listening.

My impression was that he wasn't the most articulate person in that format anyway.  I really found the show rather boring.

I know he's not auditioning to be a talk show host!  Would be kind of hard to trash a pediatric neurosurgeon as a person!

Yes, we sure don't know enough about his "positions" at this point.

Ben Carson for Surgeon General in the President Cruz administration .

I don't see it that way, Darth. I believe that FOX let him go because there would be a conflict of interest for him to be a commentator on FOX while he's running for political office.

Competent??  He is black. He is articulate and speaks about conservative issues. He is a doctor.  Other than that what do we really know about him?  He has no political experience and he wants to become president?  Based on what?? 

Other than the fact that he speaks conservatively and is black, he brings nothing to the table.  It would be foolish to back him.

Obama had the limited experience of a junior senator and no other political experience and look where that got us.

I know this will come as a surprise to many.

But being a career politician, prior to becoming President of the United States, is not only something which is not a requirement within our Constitution.

But it is actually something which the founders actively sought to prevent. The Idea of America was never to have people serving in Congress or the White HOuse, the entirety of their lifetimes, listing their profession as "politician"

America was intended to be run by just that, suzziy, the Dr, the Farmer, the Truck Driver, the School teacher the average people.

Given that, please ask the question, what disqualifies him to be PResident?

At least, when that question is asked with Dr. Carson.

A: we don't get fake Birth Certificates and faked Selective Service cards, or a man who looks like Steve Urkel, with Ears he could take flight with, walking around claiming to be black, despite the fact that since his mother is white, he is also half white. And thus is NOT America's first "black President". But rather a liar, who was and still remains, constitutionally in-eligible to hold that office.

Seriously after Obama, I would think folks would be glad the Sob's running are at least American this time round :)

I imagine it's nothing more than a conflict of interest policy, by letting him remain, they'd be forced to allow other potential candidates equal time.
Just a business decision, though one I doubt they wanted to make, after all, FOX is the rino network.
