Bernie Sanders Shows

What you're saying is certainly accurate, but doesn't address the fact that a "conservative" would support abrogating the Constitution, which is a contradiction given their fetish of "original intent".

Do you really want to go down the rabbit hole of listing their hypocrisies?

I'm just saying that American politics is less about a politician expressing their feelings than it is about he/she saying what the public wants to hear.  I think that's partly why Bernie is popular.  He's not about talking points or cramming as many key words into a speech as possible.

Registered libertarian though I am, I have a hell of a lot of respect for the man, because he's a smart sonofabitch speaking his mind, not platitudes.

A candidate's religion absolutely should not matter.  In fact the constitution establishes there be no religious test.  A candidates religion does not matter.  He can be Christian or Muslim, as long as he governs like he's neither.

Some people suggest that Islam is more likely to produce people with Radical Ideas who wish to oppress.  I say the Christian religion is just as likely.

Carson was asked an opinion question and he stated his opinion.  Of course, legally a muslim could become President but the chances of that happening anytime soon is absolutely zero.  Even the people who act pissed at Carson for what he expressed as his opinion would never actively vote for a muslim to be President.  They are just using this as an excuse to try to derail Carson.  

So how many idiot voters would vote for a muslim like Ahmadinejad, Khamenei, Louis Farrakhan, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, the king of Saudi Arabia, Major Nidal, a guy like Recep Tayyip Erdogan?

Would you eagerly support a Salafi, Sunni, or Shia muslim?  Hell would freeze over before the power structure ever allowed a muslim to become POTUS.  And you can bet none of the politicians pissing on Carson for saying what he said would ever support a muslim to become POTUS.
