http://www.alan.com/2014/08/29/ben-carson-if-senate-doesnt-go-gop-there-may-not-even-be-an-election-in-2016/If Republicans dont win back the Senate in November, he says, he cant be sure there will even be an election in 2016. Later, his wife, Candy, tells a supporter that they are holding on to their sons Australian passport just in case the election doesnt go their way.
Carson believes he is on a mission from God to save America.
Sometimes I realize there are forces greater than me, he says. I am an instrument thats being used to help restore this country.

Anyone else notice how many Republicans God has selected to do his will. It is a crowed room full of dull instruments.
Is it the same God that ISIS says they are doing the will of or a different one?
As an aside, saying stupid things is the only thing that gets one noticed anymore, they have to appear this stupid.

(793 posts)If we cannot impeach and convict Obama in the last two years of his term, we will attempt a coup ( the attempted Benghazi election heist having been foiled and Patreaus fired) or secession/ nullification writ large.
Given they may not be able to win a national election on the merits ever again - a coup is the only way they have.

Someone used to leave them all around the Yale Medical Center where I worked. So I glanced at them before depositing them in the nearest waste receptacle as part of my urban beautification program.

(16,296 posts)Or the other guy? This quote scares me, " I am an instrument thats being used to help restore this country. He fits the symptoms of a megalomaniac with his delusional feelings of omnipotence and grandeur. Some people are telling him his shit smells like roses. Guy might be an excellent surgeon, but he needs to come to the realization he's being used.

(20,818 posts)He loves America so much that he might leave at anytime because "fuck it" 'Merica might not be 1% enough.
The Republican elite are a funny bunch. When they aren't trying to deport people for not being American enough they are threatening to leave America because it isn't American enough. He dick you know what isn't American enough... Australian. It is like a whole other country over there

Oh wait, who am I kidding, no, they can stay the hell over there and take responsibility for what they've done to America.
