I've made my Choice for 2016

And if they are aren't the ballot, I'm writing them in.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Who was it who said he'd rather be governed by people picked at random from the phone book?

I mentioned a while ago that we ought to draft our politicians from a pool of people who insisted they didn't want to be politicians.

So here in good ol SC we are trying to get Lindsey Graham booted out on his ass. There's several challengers currently trying to take his place. One of these, popular right in my town because he's from here, is one Mr. Richard Cash. His biggest claim to state fame was loosing to our current congress critter Jeff Duncan. You may see where this is going.

So tonight on the bookface, is a yeehaw sort of message about being the top challenger with a link to a news article. The headline of which, is "Graham could win nomination without runoff, new poll suggests". So he is posting on his own page a poll that shows all of Grahams challengers suck enough that he gets to pass go and collect $200. And ignores not only that Graham gets 56% in this poll, but our hero gets a whopping 7%. Good job spreading free publicity for Lindsey :facepalm:

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

I've always felt anyone that wanted to be in charge was unsuitable, due to that fact alone.

That was my point.  Same goes for moderators and administrators.
