His speech pattern is so wooden, you might have been receiving a live call from the candidate himself!

I recently switched voter reg. over to independent. Even the Ds start calling and asking for donations, I told them not to call anymore because I can't afford it.

I have never liked the idea of political parties marking names, homes and neighborhoods by what party they donate to. They use those lists to gerrymander areas and it's not right.

I should have kept on the Gallup polls, but it took to much time and they always called around 8PM. Glad I stuck with it for a year.

IMO, leaving that career is a very, very odd thing about him.

8. lIt is very odd. He was world renowned as a pediatric neurosurgeon.

I know it's tremendously tinfoily, but I keep wondering if he's had a brain tumor. Something that might have affected his thought process and small motor control?

Yeah, it sounds like a script from Grey's Anatomy.

12. Republicans have courted & got elected a military person who lost their Command.

Maybe this Doctor has some history republicans try to hide 'for now'.

Carson should answer the question honestly, Why he isn't a Neurosurgeon anymore.

I read your title as "got a sex robot call from Dr Ben Carson". No doubt Carson likes the idea of sex robots tithing to the Great CPU church.
