Seems weird to put the top 2 guys in the polls there but hey I am not complaining.

I shudder to think who you consider, "the best".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

:yes: They're all pretty bad, if you're the type who likes your intelligence uninsulted, but these two made your eyes roll every time they opened their mouths.  You have to be less transparent if you want to get this job.

Rand Paul's notion of "liberty" would be appealing to Southern White man.

Both his notions of "liberty" and "foreign policy" make him preferable to the rest of the GOP field.

I'd rather have Bernie win though.  :)

It's more fun when you tell me who I consider the best, fuckhead.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Ben Carson: Egyptian pyramids were grain stores, not pharaohs' tombs

FILE - In this Oct. 2, 2015, file photo, President Barack Obama speaks during a news conference in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington. Americans are souring on Obama's approach to fighting the Islamic State, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll that also found deep pessimism about U.S. prospects for success in Afghanistan and uncertainty about Obama's plan to leave thousands of troops there when he leaves office.

Egypt's pyramids were built by the biblical Joseph to store grain and were not, as archaeologists believe, tombs for pharaohs, Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson has said.

The retired neurosurgeon, who is seeking his party's nomination for the White House, made these remarks in a 1998 address at Andrews University, a school associated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church, to which he belongs, in a video posted on Buzzfeed on Wednesday.

The church is a conservative evangelical Christian one.

I"My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain," Carson – who last week overtook Republican rival Donald Trump for the first time in a national poll – told graduates in his address.
"Now all the archeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs' graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big if you stop and think about it.

"And I don't think it'd just disappear over the course of time to store that much grain."

Asked on Wednesday if he still held these views, Carson told CBS News: "It's still my belief, yes."

Crap, he'll probably pick up a few poll points with that becoming known.

Well, if you build the Pyramids ,it acts as a granary in all of your cities, so he's not exactly wrong. :nerd:
