Ben Carson heats up

  It looks like Dr. Ben Carson is going to run for POTUS: a PAC has been organized to urge him to run, he has organized his own PAC for political purposes and for health care purposes, he has won the most recent polling and his presence in media is increasing.
  Indeed, Carson isn't denying his interest anymore, saying recently that he needs to gain momentum and cash by November to be a contender.
  Of course, the Democrat long knives are out for Carson.
  I especially like Carson's approach to politics; we have become increasingly hostile in this nation. I would attribute this to two circumstances: 1) in response to Leftist policies, ridicule and persecution of their "enemies," conservatives have become more vocal  2)  Leftists have gone wildly lawless since Obama was elected, utilizing all arms of government to achieve their goals.
  See, they were used to having us shut up and sit down, so rather than learn how to argue their positions logically, Leftists have traditionally bullied, name-called and used emotional appeals (often extremely cheesy) to "win" arguments.
  Carson has the sort of "healing" persona that could benefit this nation, if Leftists haven't gone so far as to completely lose civility altogether, from the Washington Times:
There is no need for political differences to precipitate hostility in personal relationships. We can build a strong, prosperous nation together if we are willing to talk and use our collective strengths to accomplish common goals. We must maintain open channels of communication and, as a society, we must learn to vote wisely with the ballot and the wallet.
  Carson is courteous to opponents, which could kill a campaign for president but he possesses a charismatic quality that many politicians simply do not have.
  With war clouds looming, we do not need another weak brain at the helm of the country which is why I've been pleased to observe that Carson is willing to venture into hostile territory such as this interview with the absurd Jesse Jackson.
  He needs to do more of this; indeed, Carson will be an attractive candidate. Carson's life story was made into a film starring Democrat Cuba Gooding. Heh.

Update: I forgot to add that the press is pushing the "people are not that upset about Obamacare" meme these days. This isn't true. They are. They have just had to triage their concern with concern over national security and the horrendous flood of illegal immigrants massing in our country like a foreign army.
