Question: What The Hell is Wrong With Ben Carson?
Because Brain Surgeons shouldn’t be this stupid.
A Party Ran by Media Moguls
Oh I miss the days when the Republican Party actually were in control of themselves. Back in the day, the Republican Party was a marriage of big business types, evangelicals, and Dixiecrat pro-confederate assholes. Back in the day, Republicans would push their moderates forward for elections. The moderates seem to be the big business types who dabble in shameless bible posturing to ensure all bases are covered. It wasn’t too bad, because Fox News and friends didn’t exactly run the Republican Party. The republicans ran the republicans. The politicians ran the political party.
This may sound pretty obvious… saying politicians should run a political party. Sad enough, it has to be mentioned. Why? Because Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdoch run the Republican Party now. These guys are not politicians, they are media moguls. While all politicians do things for money, there’s a big difference between politicians controlling a political party and media mogul and pundits doing the same. With this difference comes severe consequences. Which brings me to my main point…
