Even I couldn't hold my nose that tight :)

  You mean R nomination? Ain't gonna happen. He IS a damn democrat

  I like Rand a lot, but he steps on his own pecker way too much. I would vote for him in a heartbeat... just don't expect to have that chance, at least not in the general.

Conservative women aren't going to vote for Hillary, unless the GOP drives them there. I know quite a few that wouldn't under any circumstances, 'cause they can't stand libtards. It won't be the same as the Obama effect with blacks. Girls will like Marco. He's pretty, and not near as hard nosed as Rand or Ted.   Unlike those that are in search of conservative utopia, I'll take any Republican over Hillary. I despise Christi, but don't believe the GOP will get behind him when it comes down to it. I figure his Obama love screwed him, if nothing else.

  Out of the three young uns, Rubio would do the best with low info voters. 

Didn't both of our RINO senators vote against the war on guns?

  Knothead   :x:

Magpul!

Nah. You didn't even get through your first 10 pack of beenie weenies.

Magpul!

  Have you heard the news? Magpul is moving.

Gotcha (there you go, Lester).

  My primers just wind up staying put after a couple of tries because they've been cussed out :). Takes a little practice

  Not exactly. It can take votes away from the best guy, which is the same outcome as voting for the worst. Math has its place, even remedial math like that.   BTW... it doesn't bother me so much when friends in Tennessee vote for the Pro weed candidate, 'cause this state is a long way from being retarded enough to go blue. It bothers me when my friends in California do it. Talk about making your own bed.

  Move to New York, Illinois, Kalifornia, even Colorado and then preach it. Get you a FOID card, and then tell me how bad these Republicans are. What I'm sayin'... you only THINK you're all pissed off.

  Yep. Statists. I prefer to keep my guns as long as they're in power too. They ain't exactly the same. The Dems want to repeal the second. I would vote for Rand Paul in a heartbeat, if it wasn't only you, me, and a handful of other crazy sumbiitches. Letting or helping the Democrats win ANYTHING is against one of my fundamental rights.

Time will tell. Looks really good on the surface.

  No. It's plain old arithmetic. Of course the big two use it.

I don't recall ever having to do that math in the real world. I'm not enough of a math geek to abuse myself for no practical reason. It's real helpful to understand it. I have software packages that do the time domain/frequency domain transform on the fly. There's even a fourier function in Excel.   They reference the Katrina blackout several times in the paper above, because it really was one of the best real world tests. The entire area was blasted back into the stone age... sorta. Some communications were still up. Some of the grid was still up, at least by the time I got to the area. I waited for over a week, because the roads were blanketed with pine trees... big ones too.   I was in South Mississippi. That storm hung together until it got north of Laurel. Social stuff in that area was pretty mild because everybody was armed. The shipped in big city SWAT boys, but they really were needed (comment from one of the SWAT boys). :) Not that there weren't some shots fired. They were just mostly fired in the right direction. :)   Since Katrina, the feds have been pushing disaster preparedness. It was a wakeup call. Since that paper was released, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the vulnerability has been mitigated. I know for a fact that the feds are building EMP proof transmitting facilities to support nationwide delivery of disaster information.   When it comes down to it, we really don't want anybody popping nukes over US soil. I know... news flash. :)

The perfect politician is like sasquatch. We keep looking for him, but he probably doesn't exist. On the other hand, bad politicians are common as mud. You can use your vote to help avoid the worst. Or, you can help the worst in your continued search of a mythical creature.

http://www.empcommission.org/docs/A2473-EMP_Commission-7MB.pdf   I couldn't get through much of it before my eyes glazed over. I did read most of chapter 2. Very well written, comprehensive paper. Even they aren't saying that it will kill everything. It will kill some stuff. It will probably kill enough stuff to make for a long recovery. They equated the Katrina blackout to a small EMP event, because it took out communications and all over a large area. That sucked pretty badly, and we had our own fuel supply lines and a whole bunch of generators.   I'm going to read the whole thing. There's no Alex Jones in it.   BTW... big transformer failure is highly unlikely unless the protection circuits fail. Apparently, they use overcurrent relays on the big boys instead of fuses.

  I'll put mine up against yours. She can make your brain run out of your ear.

  I have high hopes myself. Economy still in the tank, the Obamacare disaster, the war on guns, and all of the scandals. Can't help but chip away at their seats. I hope it's a blood bath, like their last war on guns.

  Sure can. Take my guns, but if you mess with my beer, it's gonna get ugly
