To be honest, I could just buy an island in the Philippines and create my own country. I saw a decent sized one the other day that's only $3.4 million.

Also as scary a prospect as Lordgrim's Bioshock 3 Columbia.
I would never be able to create my own sovereign nation, especially there, cause I would get "annexed" by China quicker than you can say "饭"

Also...wait, did he make a game reference to real life and I missed it?

Can you link it for me? I need a good laugh.

I'm telling you KN, go halves with me on that island. It'll save us both money, plus you won't have to worry about the Chinese too.

You calling in a favor for Putin or something? I need something a little stronger than a couple of shotguns, some battle axes, and bow and a bunch of arrows.

It would be more like calling in a favor to the Chinese for keeping most of my money in their bank.

Traitor! Don't come back to these hallowed halls after doing business with those human rights violators. Outrageous. Absurd. I hope you can't sleep at night.

If anyone who did business with the Chinese is a traitor, well then most of America is guilty.

I sleep very well at night since I left, lol.

Cruz can do a lot of damage to the Scott Walkers and Jeb Bushes of the GOP during the primaries. He's very popular with the base, where Walker is middling, and Bush is unpopular. Cruz isn't likely to make it through the primary, but he's a bulldog, smart, and totally ruthless. Only Rand Paul will occupy *some* positions to the right of Cruz, in all likelihood, so he'll have a conservative ideological edge over most of the field.

None of these guys can win a general election after going through the far right circus that is the Republican primary, of course. That's why I'm surprised to see legitimate candidates like Cruz, Walker, and Bush preparing their campaigns. Cruz is young enough to wait out 8 years of Hillary. Paul Ryan has made that choice, and I think it's the right one. I question how palatable social conservatism will be in 8 years, when the country is already center-left on social issues, but I guess we'll see.
And this is why a two-party system is literally insane.

The primary is going to end up killing off most of the popular candidates (if you actually like someone like Ted Cruz, I mean) and will drag the eventual winner deep into the "Do as we say and remember that we know where your wife and kids are" territory of the power-obsessed oligarchs.

It's not even unheard of for Democrats to actively promote people like Ted Cruz exactly because a.) his candidacy will weaken others' and b.) he's unlikely to win the general election. That's some wonderful and sensible politics right there: rather than field a candidate and platform that makes sense, just *** over the competition so that no one is happy.

If we have to be unhappy then I'd prefer to be in charge.

All I have to say is YAY!(and can't wait for 9/10 naysayers to pop up)

I don't care if he runs, I just hope that he is ridiculed and attacked over being born in Canada after being part of the "birther" ***.
McCain ran and he was born in Panama.
On an American military base. Which is as American born as if he were born in Boston.

Both Rand Paul and Ann Rand have been mentioned.

Being required to listen to a presidential speech seems slightly disrespectful to me.

I couldn't post the picture where they complained about him kissing his wife on stage, something that is not allowed at the school
