Ben Carson Officially Changes Political Parties, Rejoins GOP

By John Solomon, Nov. 4, 2014, Washingtontimes.com

The Senate wasn’t the only political player bracing for a party switch on Tuesday.

Ben Carson, the pediatric neurosurgeon turned conservative sensation after he confronted President Obama at a prayer breakfast last year, used Election Day to officially change his party affiliation from independent back to Republican, moving yet another step closer to a possible 2016 presidential run.

Mr. Carson, who grew up poor in Detroit and rose to success as a doctor at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Maryland, made the paperwork change in his new home state of Florida. He filed the paperwork in Palm Beach County.

    Dr Ben"I was for Obamacare before I was against it"Carson=we did! Folks rallying his one speech attacking the now passed Obamacare, are apparently still duped to not pay attention to all his other many interviews, plenty on video, where he was FOR Government Health Care...and COUNSELED Obama on how to implement it. He wanted him to do it in pieces, so it wasn't so polarizing and SEEN.

    He's been a regular speaker at the National Prayer Breakfast for Bill Clinton.

    FOLKS, WAKE UP
