See where Harper's reactionary policies led them!

As resident of South Carolina, I must say it is better to be stuck in 2012 than in 1912.

At least you had Senators that were not afraid to stick their pitchforks in the President's rump back then.

Yeah, Harper is keeping us in the past. In fact, we're not going to 2013 at midnight - we're going back to 1913!

Considering how big and juicy a target Taft's rump was, can you blame Tillman?  Altho to be fair it was Cleveland's rump in 1896 he got the nickname for.  By 1912 Old Ben had moved on to the Navy and its irritating habit of not only increasing its funding requests for new ships each year, but also building ships larger and costlier than what Congress has originally authorized.  He asked the Navy to come up with designs for "maximum battleships", that is the largest practical battleship the Navy could possibly put to use.  He repeated the request in 1916 and got designs that the Navy never intended to use, but which did influence the design of the South Dakota class that later got scrapped because of the Washington Naval Treaty. The ships would have been the size of the post WW II supercarriers, which isn't surprising since they were subject to the same basic design limitation, that the ship needed to be able to make it through the Panama Canal.   A number of different designs were considered.  One of them had fifteen 18" guns, another had 24 16" guns.
