Aaaaand Ben Carson steps on his genitalia.......NEXT

I've never heard of prison turning someone gay except for in jokes. Perhaps he knows more post-prison homosexuals than I do (zero), but had I given the same answer, I could hardly consider it an honest reply.

Things changed after they banned soap on a rope..

I predict this coming Presidential election will be one of the most blatant "Cult of Personality" battles that I have ever witnessed, and I mean on both sides of the aisle. What does it say about our nation when two years out and the most likely tickets will be Bush v Clinton? What year are we living in?

This.

I heard the last couple elections compared to American Idol.

There was a huge thing on Reddit a few years ago about a straight guy who started the gay stuff in prison with his long time cell mate because of mutual boredom and loneliness. He basically said everyone did it but passed off the behavior as assisted masturbation, not homosexuality.

Or maybe Carson was trolling everyone and referring to criminals becoming islamicized in prison...

Hell, he was honest and open and this forum is giving him nothing but crap about it? He should be applauded for NOT being a tool of a consultant.

"Honest and Open" are admirable traits...and they will serve only to provide a massive target to other contenders.

I work with the incarcerated population everyday. What Dr. Carson says is true. These assholes are macho ganstas one day and looking for to have sex with men the next.

A man escapes from a prison where he's been locked up for 15 years. He breaks into a house to look for money and guns. Inside, he finds a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair.

While tying the homeowner's wife to the bed, the convict gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.

While he's in there, the husband whispers over to his wife: "Listen, this guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes! He's probably spent a lot of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain... do whatever he tells you.

Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is obviously very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us both. Be strong, honey. I love you!"

His wife responds: "He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me that he turned gay in prison, thinks you're cute, and asked if we had any Vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong honey. I love you, too!"

I think the solution for R's and related is to stick to issues that matter, and don't both answering the stupid "feel good" hippy bullshit crap.

Sure, it would offend some in dodging the stupid issues, but it would work. Abortion, gays, Islam touchy-feeling, they are landmines. Instead of trying to carefully maneuver the road, don't drive on it at all.



If they keep beating it, could follow that up with:


Why is it so damn hard? Every single viable loon ends up putting their foot in their mouth and falling for the media hooks. It's not that hard to know what is off limits and build a nice little mental wall.

Nailed it.
