Why I Want Ben Carson, Part 1: Statesmanship

After twice reading Ben Carson's book, One Nation,  I am convinced that He is the best man to lead this country.

He is a rare STATESMAN in a world that has forgotten the idea of compromise.

It seems to me that most republican politicians believe that:

• Their party is always right
• There is no victory if not complete victory
• Their party does no wrong

Furthermore, it seems to me that most democratic politicians believe that:

• Their party is always right
• There is no victory if not complete victory
• Their party does no wrong

Frankly, I am so tired of the disrespectful finger pointing by both parties. Ben Carson is one of the few presidential candidates as willing to point a finger at his own party as the other. As a result he is uniquely able to respectfully disagree with people without:

• Closing down discussion
• Disrespecting the other person
• Missing the opportunity to learn another's reasonable perspective

I believe that Ben will be uniquely able to work with both parties in a way to fosters discussion, compromise, and true solutions.
