Well, this is a backwoodsian tale of the macabre. WBIR.com reports that an East Tennessee hardware store owner has hung “what some call a controversial sign” that expresses his feelings about same-sex marriage.

In a spidery Sharpie scrawl, the sign simply reads “No Gays Allowed.” Yeah, WBIR, some people would call that controversial. At least.

Jeff Amyx, owner of Amyx Hardware & Roofing Supplies in Grainger County, thinks the sign demonstrates that he’s a brave Christian who’s not afraid to stand up for his beliefs.

“They gladly stand for what they believe in, why can’t I?” said Amyx.

If he isn't exposed by Bush, Kasich (assuming he even gets on the stage), Christie, even Rubio in debates, something is very very wrong with whomever preps those guys, and they all deserve to lose by embarrassing margins.

Rubio - 28%
Jeb - 24%
Walker - 21%
Perry - 5%
Christie - 5%
Romney - 4%
Paul - 4%
Kasich - 3%
Huckabee - 3%
Cruz - 2%
Jindal - 1%

Two more things - I had this back in January -

Walker 20%
Jeb 18%
Romney 13%
Christie 11%
Rand 8%
Perry 8%
Pence 5%
Rubio 5%
Jindal 3%
Huck 3%
Cruz 2%
Field 4%

Changes - I didn't think Rubio would run with Jeb in. Romney has since said no. Christie has failed to reverse his fall. Pence had that RFRA thing then didn't run. Walker hasn't really taken advantage of some of the others backsliding/declining in the way Rubio and Jeb have. Kasich looks like he's running.

And for shits and giggles, I'll say this for the Dems

Hillary - 93%
Biden - 3%
O'Malley - 2%
Sanders - 1%
Warren - 1%

"Look, you got to look at Iowa and that's those old ladies with knitting needles sitting around living rooms — I don't understand it. And then South Carolina, you've got Lindsey Graham in and he's going to have a commanding position in that state," Langone said. "The one state that, I think, gives you some definition is going to be New Hampshire. I think if he's up there frequently, and he's up there banging away with these town-hall meetings I think he's going to get traction and I think he's going to resonate."

"Santorum, for example, [Mike] Huckabee, I don't see them making the grade," he said. "[Bobby] Jindal, I don't see Jindal. [John] Kasich, if Kasich jumps in, he could be a very, very strong competitor — to anybody. Certainly, Jeb Bush is there. Scott Walker from Wisconsin. I mean, George Pataki, give me a fucking break."

He called celebrity businessman Donald Trump "a guy who's going to make noise and make things happen" — in a good way. "I view him as a very significant positive factor in the whole political process," Langone said.

I thought about skipping him entirely
