Carson Calls Congress a '€˜Peanut Gallery,' Urges a Bill Protecting 'Religious Rights'
2015-10-13
[PJmedia] Carson, who wrote a new book with his wife, Candy, titled, A More Perfect Union: What We the People can Do to Reclaim our Constitutional Liberties, said the legislative branch "acts more like a peanut gallery" instead of acting on issues such as religious freedom.

#11  Someone should tell Dr. Ben not to be saying things like that, espec as the new "CHARLIE BROWN 3D" MOVIE isn't out yet.

#10  I'm starting to warm to Carson. He's the one candidate who would have a free pass to walk back the 0bama years without the idiots caterwauling about racism.

#7  I think Bobby (the handsomest man in the army) Lee was already a Colonel in the Messican War.

Nope: Brevet Lt. Colonel

#6  >Records show Ben Carson became Republican less than one year ago

That might be GOOD not bad. Longtimers seem to just emerge as rent seeking marxists for a different brand of big government.

#5  Since we can't elect an independent as President, the next-best thing may be to elect an independent who just became a Republican in order to run for President. Puts a different spin on the term RINO.

#3  Yes of foking course, Lee never led a starving Union Army. It's all somewhere in Korda's Clouds of Glory. The peanut connection was intended to highlight Lee's contempt for politicians, which I and many here share.

#2  At the time of the war with Mexico, Lee was a mere Captain or Major while "my army" are a general's words so he was uttering these words during the Civil War and reffering to the Confederate Congress not the US one.

#1  I have been up to see the Congress and they do not seem to be able to do anything except to eat peanuts and chew tobacco, while my army is starving.~ General Robert E. Lee
