Letter: Ben Carson has right background

I keep seeing people say they like Ben Carson, but won’t vote for him because he has no political experience. They suggest he run for a lower office.

Basically, they are suggesting he become like what we have now — a career politician.

Well my answer is that first, our country needs him now, not four years or so down the road while he gains this experience you think he needs, while another career politician drives our nation further into the ground.

Second: Why do you think political experience equals competence? What from any of our leaders has ever indicated that?

Our country is in trouble now, and it is the clowns we have in office that have put us in this situation. I am voting for Carson. It is time for We The People to take our country back.
