So let's get back from Carson onto a more cheerful subject: Jeb!

So, as you know, Jeb's email address is jeb@jeb2016.com (sadly, jeb@jeb.org is dead). There's something different about Jeb! He actually responds to your messages. Especially if they're about football.

http://deadspin.com/sad-jeb-bush-is-just-sitting-up-at-night-waiting-to-ch-1740751274v

Jeb Bush is waiting up at night for you to email him happy things he likes to talk about, like football, fantasy football, and probably Chinese swords.

Someone should feed all the constituent emails that he published on his site into a Markov chain generator and then just start spamming the hell out of him with it. You could probably get him to devote an extra 1-2 staffers to responding to the emails.

As a teenager, Ben Carson was so smitten with his next-door neighbor Laura, he once used his scientific brilliance to construct a transformation chamber, hoping it would turn him from a nerdy, awkward, and annoying geek into a cool, confident, smooth operator suave enough to win her over.

But when he emerged from the chamber as Benn Carsón, this new personality was instead a dumb, violent psychopath, who went on a rampage stabbing friends with knives, clubbing relatives with blunt objects, and loudly proclaiming the Egyptian pyramids were used as grain silos instead of Pharaohs' tombs until Ben, thanks to Laura's encouragement, was able to briefly suppress Benn, climb back into the chamber, and return himself to normal.

Everybody learned a valuable lesson about the importance of being yourself, instead of trying to be something or someone you're not.

Or so we thought, for it soon became apparent that the Benn Carsón personality still lurked within Ben Carson's subconscious, periodically emerging and running amok, especially during times of great stress. So Ben, in order to learn how to remove this personality from his brain for good – even if it meant doing so by brute force – dedicated himself to the study of neurology. He became the world's greatest neursurgeon, but even this wasn't enough: the Benn Carsón personality was wily, and could not be isolated.

Out of options, Ben began heavily self-medicating with increasingly more powerful depressants, in an effort to at least smother the Benn Carsón personality. But this only exacerbated the problem, and now each personality alternates consciousness at random, while Benn Carsón constantly plots to finally take complete control of both their shared body, and the entire country.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, he's running for President now.

Good question. Thankfully, we have Mother Jones on the case!

Sources claim he doesn't use a computer, his main electronic device is an iPhone. Only 3% of his tweets come from an iPhone, even if all iPhone tweets were directly from him, but it's possible many of the others were dictated.

Republican presidential contender Ben Carson is lashing out at the media, calling recent questions about his violent childhood past "a bunch of lies" and "pathetic."

Carson has come under recent scrutiny after failed media attempts to verify the violent childhood incidents he has publicly recounted. He stands by those stories.
"It is just garbage," Carson told CNN this morning. "We have too many things that are important to deal with."

The fiery criticism of the media comes as the retired neurosurgeon settles in as a front-runner for the Republican nomination and begins to face increased scrutiny.
One prominent story focuses on a friend or relative whom Carson says he once tried to stab. "I talked to him. He would prefer to stay out of the media and I want to respect that," he said.
“The story is well-documented," Carson continued. "If you choose not to believe it, if it doesn’t fit the narrative that you want, that’s fine. Let’s let the American people decide.”

A national Quinnipiac University poll taken before an investigation by CNN could not verify Carson's several childhood stories shows that an overwhelming 91 percent of Republican voters nationwide say that Carson is honest and trustworthy.

Carson also asserted in the interview this morning that Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton and President Obama did not undergo the same level of scrutiny by political journalists.

"Give me a break. Are you kidding?" Carson said, laughing. "What you all did with President Obama doesn't even come close; doesn't even come close to what you guys are trying to do in my case.

"I want you to ask Hillary Clinton the same questions you ask me. Will you do that? Promise you're going to do that? We're waiting."

CNN also questioned Carson’s comment that “we’d be Cuba if there were no Fox News.”
When asked whether Carson meant that the United States would be a communist country without Fox News, Carson accused host Alisyn Camerota of sensationalism.

"The media gave secret-muslim kenyan Obama an easier time than me."

Seriously, gently caress you Cruz

quote:

JAKE TAPPER: Quickly if you could, you are speaking at a conference this weekend, the National Religious Liberties Conference in Des Moines. It’s organized by a guy named Kevin Swanson. You’ve been very outspoken about what you deem liberal intolerance of Christians, but Kevin Swanson has said some very inflammatory things about gays and lesbians. He believes Christians should hold up signs at gay weddings holding up the Leviticus verse, instructing the faithful to put gays to death because what they do is an abomination. I don’t hold you responsible for what other people say, but given your concern about liberal intolerance, are you not, in some ways, endorsing conservative intolerance?

TED CRUZ: Listen, I don’t know what this gentleman has said or hasn’t said. I know that when it comes to religious liberty, this is a passion of mine and has been for decades and that I have been fighting for religious liberty for everyone. Fighting for religious liberty for Christians, for Jews, for Muslims, for every one of us to practice our faith. And in the last six and a half years under the Obama administration, we have seen an assault on religious liberty from the federal government. You know, couple months ago I hosted a rally for religious liberty in Iowa had 2,500 people come out. The single biggest political event in the state of Iowa this year and we had nine heroes, people who stood up for their faith who just told their stories and it was powerful. You can go and watch those stories on our website, tedcruz.org and you know, the amazing thing is many in the media diminish threats on religious liberty say they’re not real. What I tried to do in that event is withdraw myself and have the focus be on them telling their stories.

Ben Carson is a plant by an evangelical group. It's part of a long con where Carson says the most insane things possible to make positions like intelligent design seem comparable by reason.

"Sure he believes the earth is 6000 years old, but at least he knows the pyramids were built for dead pharaohs!"

After Ben Carson suggested in a Facebook post that the signers of the declaration of independence has never, like himself, served in elected office, the Wall Street Journal quickly pointed out this was false.

“Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, John Hancock and many other signers had been elected members of their colonial assemblies, prior to signing the Declaration.”

Carson amended his statement saying they has no “federal” elected experience.
