Good News, that POS Comrade Obama ruined the Democratic Party

[Ligament]

Republican House, Senate, and huge Republican increase in Governors. Thank God. Lets see if they can kill Obamanocare for us.

I'd rather they all be Libertarians...maybe after Ben Carson gets elected President.

Your F'''in crazy if you think this is going to change anything in Washington.
By the way Carson is a tool, don't care if he is a physician or not.

I am F'''in crazy I admit. The Republicans are almost as bad as the Socialists nee Democrats. They are all corrupt. But at least Obama has stronger opposition now, hopefully they can roadblock any further anti American agenda he has, especially his planned amnesty for the illegal invaders.

Is Carson a tool? I'd like to hear your thoughts. So far I think everything he's said is responsible and pro-American, logical. Am I missing something? (I'm not being sarcastic).

 

[nvrsumr]

Carson is a religious nut. Its the problem with 90% of the GOP(at least in CO)

We need to get religion out of politics completely.

 

[emd123]

By far the most telling quote of this election cycle:

“I am not on the ballot this fall...But make no mistake: These policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them,” Obama said.

Man, were they. Holy shellacking. Ouch!

http://www.rollcall.com/news/obama_my_policies_are_on_the_ballot-236824-1.html

 

[hyperalgesia]

The results probably reflect more the utter incompetence of this administration than the liberal agenda. If Obama had a glassy smooth rollout of the Obamacare website, for example, you'd see a different result. He really did a number on the cause of activist government. I'm happy about that but I don't think Americans have changed their minds about liberalism in general.

I wish Republicans would stick to basic libertarianism, limited federal government and recognize that religion has no place in law.

 

[clubdeac]

I love it!! Republican House, Senate, and an increase in Governors. They'll certainly be more pro-physician than the loons who've been destroying, er I mean running this country the last 6 years. Yes! a

Can you please elaborate on the basis for your assertion.

He doesn't like him because Carson is religious.

A politician will do exactly what the public expects him to, just to get elected. A government is the reflection of the people who voted.

Rand if he can keep religion and reproduction out of the equation. Billary is ruined as best I can tell from the Benghazi coverup and being associated with Comrade Obama. Also there should be no dynastic presidential families (Bush clan included).

No liberals care about Benghazi, and most independents believe it was just a politicized media circus. 79% or Republicans thought Benghazi was a big deal, but the majority of voters don't care enough to make it an issue in 2016. I certainly don't care as an independent. I'd be tempted to vote democrat just to prevent having an all-Republican House, Senate, and Presidency, as one party controlling all of government is never a good thing and exactly how Obamacare and the war in Iraq happened.

Benghazi will hurt, but not a deal breaker for most voters. She will automatically get the vote of 90% of the women in this country, even the republicans, just like obama got 99% of the black vote. Have a female president is huge to modern women, they will stick their fingers in their ears on the issues, and just vote for her.

No political party really favors physicians, but no political party is more clearly against physician interests than the democrats.

I've been an independent most of my life, but after what the last two democratic administrations have done to physicians, I will vote republican on every national race until I retire. No one has done more to undermine the authority and destroy the livelihood of physicians, than the democrats.

I prefer gridlock myself. Both parties are insane, so government works best when neither of them is getting anything done.

Personally, I could never see voting only based upon my career though. I mean, there's a lot of other issues out there, from war to internet freedom to energy policy to international trade policy. What good is me having a nice career if everything else in this country is ****?

 

[emd123]

If I was a democrat I'd be livid. Obama decimated the party back to 1928 numbers of republican house dominance. He's really allowed the wheels to fall off that party. It's an amazing self immolation, considering in 2008-2010 they had all three of the Senate, House and White House. This guy's unreal. He just handed the Republican Party the whole fricken country. Look at the map of red vs blue after Tuesday. It's an unreal collapse he handed his own party. Just unreal:

http://www.nationaljournal.com/politics/here-s-what-a-republican-takeover-looks-likes-20141105

The most amazing thing about it, is how defiant he was in the face of it all at his post election press conference. The Dems should be worried, because if he keeps up his defiant stance, they could bleed even more seats in 2016. By then he'll be gone and won't care, but their career trajectories will potentially be trashed.

Wait, are you saying 90% of women voters are sexist and 99% of black voters are racist? You mean they don't vote based on political issues but rather on sex and skin color?

Well, physicians who vote for and support socialists like Comrade Obama have done more to undermine the authority of and destroy the livelihood of physicians than the democrats. They apparently enjoy career suicide, and want to ruin your career as well. The next worst group are democrats as a whole.

No but many women are reverse sexists and many blacks are reverse racists. Somehow it's fine for them to vote and hire women/blacks preferentially, but a white guy would get reamed for that behavior.

When it comes to the big prize of the White House, women will forget all reason and political issues and just vote for their own sex. Much as I hate to admit it, Obama will hand the keys of the White House to Hillary in 2 years.

[hyperalgesia]

I don't know how Carson would deal with hecklers. He's used to being respected, unlike these other idiot politicians. But that would be incredible to get a conservative/libertarian PHYSICIAN in the white house. Not just for our profession, but for our country. Someone who's actually done something constructive. But I suspect that one word of religion from his mouth and the liberal media will pour gasoline on him and set him off in a blaze of glory.

What do you think of a Ben Carson/Rand Paul ticket?

 

[SSdoc33]

Ben Carson:

"Carson’s views on evolution and creationism have also generated controversy.[45] In a 2006 debate with Richard Dawkins, Francis Collins, and Daniel Dennett, Carson stated: “I don’t believe in evolution .... I simply don’t have enough faith to believe that something as complex as our ability to rationalize, think, and plan, and have a moral sense of what’s right and wrong, just appeared.”[46] In 2012 nearly 500 professors, students, and alumni of Emory University wrote a letter expressing concern about Carson’s views in advance of his commencement speech, although no request was made to rescind Carson’s invitation. In particular, they cited his quote in an Adventist Review interview where he said, “By believing we are the product of random acts, we eliminate morality and the basis of ethical behavior.” Carson responded by clarifying his views, saying, “People who believe in survival of the fittest might have more difficulty deriving where their ethics come from. A lot of evolutionists are very ethical people.”[45]"

You will eat these words. The Republican party would LOVE to nominate a black person. It's like when I heard Chris Matthews say that because Herman Cain had an affair with a BLONDE woman, Republicans couldn't deal with black and blonde. WTH??? These are liberal delusions of an evil empire-type party that does not exist anywhere. There are obviously nutcases and racist bigots in both parties. But these kinds of views are not the views of the party. And I'm not Republican by the way. If Carson doesn't get nominated, it's because people are afraid he would be demonized and lose the general election. This is IN SPITE of his race, which is a MAJOR plus for him, just like it was for Obama, both in the primary and the general elections.

Personally, I don't share his views on religion, but they're only threatening to a minimal degree at this point. If he wants to impose his views on others and base laws on them that interfere with individual rights, then I have a problem.

 

[hyperalgesia]

He has NOT announced his candidacy, but rather hinted at it.

Billary has no chance if he runs. Billary would only get some of the socialist and a lot of the female vote (sadly; I'd like to think they'd vote based on policies vs. sex and I hope to be proven wrong, will be interesting to see % of women that vote for Billary).

He will get 100% of the racist voters that voted for Obama based on skin color vs. content of character, which is a huge percent of the Democratic party. They will be duped into voting for a libertarian. It will be oh so sweet to see that happen. Idiots. "Wait...what? You mean I just voted for a Republican...DOH!"

The Democratic race card spin machine will loose its legs and be exposed for the lie that it is. The only thing they could spin against him is that he is christian, male, heterosexual. They can't really spin his lack of political experience either, as Comrade Obama had only 2 years of experience in the Senate and he is a lowlife politician, not a freaking pediatric neurosurgeon who has contributed something of value to this world.

He will get the libertarian and republican vote.

He will get the thinking voters vote.

He's the ideal candidate. I'd trust a physician as president over some lowlife career politician any day.

If he ran with Rand Paul it would be so sweet! Paul is also a physician, don't forget (Ophthalmologist).

His weakness:

1. Keep religion out of his candidacy. Religion belongs out of politics. All politicians should keep their traps shut about this issue.
2. He better keep his pro-life stance out of the candidacy as well. A president should have nothing to do with pregnant women. The Presidents job is to deal with foreign relations and defense, not the womb.
3. That he does not believe in evolution is slightly worrisome, but I don't care as whether any candidate believes in evolution vs. creationism has zero bearing on their qualifications as President. I don't see how such a believe could affect any Presidential decision making.

 

[sblau001]

Got to scrub in with Ben Carson years ago on a combined Peds Neurosurgery/Plastics case. Was standing literally elbow to elbow with him for hours. One of the nicest, unpretentious, unassuming surgeons I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Couldn't care less about his religious views. He's got my vote if he runs.

 

[hyperalgesia]

I would love to see Carson run but I still think he will suffer tremendously in debates and with hecklers. Chiefs of Pediatric Neurosurgery are not well-adapted to the ignorant food fights of politics. This guy has had years and years of deference and being at the top of the food chain. He has not been confronted by an angry, ignorant mob, ever. Christie, on the other hand, is completely ready for such nonsense and is supremely adapted to deal with it. As pathetic as it is, this is a necessary skill to win in politics. But if Carson can demonstrate his ability to deal with fire under pressure, that would be very interesting indeed.

first, have to agree with ssdoc about republicans electing a non-white. it is getting better, mind you.

1. in an election where Democrats lost big time... 90% of blacks still voted Democrat.

2.

this election - first black senator from the South since the Reconstruction. first black Republican from Texas - ever.

without the South, Republicans wont win the presidency.

3. with that healthcare plan, Pain Medicine as a field will disappear.

There is nothing wrong with the idea, healthcare should be the responsibility of the consumer, not their neighbor. You are operating on the principle, I suppose, that people deserve or are entitled to healthcare. Many disagree with you.

im sure that we'd all agree that EVERY neurosurgeon we meet are absolutely brilliant. one guy i work with that still cant figure out how to name a radiculopathy.

also, dare i say, that minorities need much less competitive requirements to be accepted to better undergrad and medical schools.
