He didnât say it should be, he said it âprobablyâ should be.
Reminds me of when I used to beg Mom for something I wanted and she would say, âWeâll see!â
I rarely got anything after that reply.

Has a candidate ever had to withdraw from the race before the first primary or caucus?

I donât know but Gov. Fatso is sure trying to withdraw from the race before heâs even IN it!

How does Carson saying that the minimum wage should "probably " be higher make Carson in favor of a minimum wage hike? How about something a little more Presidential, DocâŚlike âthe minimum wage should be raisedâŚâ

Or the other great qualifier, âno promises.â
His probably is based on business owners agreeing they need to pay their employees more. Or perhaps a commensurate reduction in Payroll taxes?

The proud âIâm not a politicianâ guy says about his candidacy.
âIt should be fun,â he said over a salad on the day before his official announcement. âEye-opening for a lot of people.â
This is a very un-serious guy whoâs looking to only to promote himself. That last partâs not news.

Governor of New York Cuomo has been very supportive and vocal in the campaign to raise salaries for fast food workers, and it makes perfect sense. Too many people must rely on public assistance because they earn so little thereby putting government in the position of subsidizing huge profit making companies such McDonaldâs and Burger King.

Boldly suggesting he might maybe follow in the footsteps of those great social activists, Walmart and McDonaldâs.

Carsonâs position in favor of a minimum wage hike sets him apart from other potential Republican 2016 nominees.
Uh, no it doesnât. âProbablyâ doesnât cut it. Unless youâve managed to lower the bar so low that anything that doesnât sound like your standard GOP litmus test signed in blood and wrapped verbatim in RNC, Grover Norquist, NRA, and Adelson and Koch Bros. talking pointsâŚâprobablyâ is just another way of deflecting and not answering the fucking question with any serious proposal as a candidate.
Pretending not to be crazy, is not the same as not being crazyâŚand Mr. Brain guy has been off his rocker on more than one occasion plenty of times. This sorta weak admission doesnât change a thing.

Wait a minute, let me get is straight; Republicans are becoming Democrats and Democrats are becoming Repu�
I always worry about him when he starts to act rationalâŚ
Minimum Wage Should âProbablyâ Be Higher
And in an ironic turn, so should Mr. Carsonâs basic grasp and knowledge on most aspects of public policy (foreign and domestic).

With Andrew Cuomo, talk is easy. In his 2015 adopted budget, he couldnât find funds to raise New York Stateâs minimum wage. However, the state budget could afford to eliminate the sales tax on purchased yachts after the first $260,000!
but⌠but⌠an unearned raise in wages for those undeserving slobs cleaning your toilets and flipping your burgers will just get passed to customers! It will kill jobs!
So⌠how much does he think it should go up, then? Surely he knows that a 50 cent/hr raise is meaningless. It should be at least $10/hr.
I learned at a very early ageâŚâMaybeâ means âNoâ.

Funny, but you spelled it wrong.
Thatâs Captain Oblivious to youâŚ
GOP candidates are using âsanityâ as a wedge issue to gain votes in the primaries.
Sanity is what divides the Republican Party. Not exactly a sign of good times to come.
