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.

“It’s truly a pragmatic move because I have to run in one party or another. If you run as an independent, you only risk splitting the electorate,” Mr. Carson told The Washington Times in an interview Tuesday night shortly after making the change. “I clearly would not be welcome in the Democratic Party, and so that only leaves one party.

Four Times As Many Journalists Call Themselves Democrats Rather Than Republicans --Water's wet, media are liberal

May 09, 2014 Conservatives , Democratic Party 0 Comments

 Journalists may pride themselves on keeping their views out of their writing, but when it comes to the ballot box, significantly more identify as Democrats than Republicans.

 According to a study released this month by Indiana University’s School of Journalism, 28 percent of full-time journalists identify as Democrats, while a mere 7 percent call themselves Republicans.

 One number that might surprise Americans: Half of journalists identify as politically independent. Yet according to a 2013 Gallup poll, 46 percent of Americans see the media as too liberal, while only 13 percent see it as too conservative.

 The percentage of Republicans in journalism doesn’t mirror the nation’s political landscape. In an April Gallup poll, 25 percent of Americans labelled themselves as Republicans, while 29 percent identified as Democrats.
In 2002, the last time the study was conducted, 18 percent of journalists identified as Republicans and 36 percent as Democrats. A third called themselves independents.
