I'm looking for suggestions of major political figures past and present to include in the skin. For the sake of not making it a constant update fest ... let's keep people who hold current office out of consideration.

Already anticipate including: Mt Rushmore, Milton Friedman, Frederic Bastiat, Coolidge, FDR, Benjamin Franklin.

in order, I'm headed south uphill with this one...I'm never afraid to test the waters....

Thomas Jefferson
James Madison
John Adams
John Jay

Fredrick Douglass off the top of my head. May think of more.

Washington
John Locke
Adam smith (you got Friedman)
Orwell
Thomas sowell
Walter Williams
William Buckley
John Adams

Trump - I know you said no one in current office, but he will likely be the single most influential politician of our lifetimes.

Tucker
Pat Buchanan
Ann Coulter
Michelle Malkin

That’s who I think of when I think of the “America First” movement, and it needs to be represented.

Others,

Reagan
Breitbart
Ron Paul

The word skin means what really? It may be an expression that I've never heard of and what does it really allude to. Explanation please.

I assume a banner of sorts. Only time I ever hear the term used is in gaming, and it’s basically a wrap around your character or weapon that adds a bit of touch/personalization.

Note the appearance difference to say ... here: memphis.csnbbs.com or here uab.csnbbs.com

The Spin Room board would get theme appropriate looks all over in a similar fashion.

I'm down with RP....not his hem/haw son.....

a Rushmore montage spanning the width and breadth of the eclectic would easily work.....

Bonus points for a hidden Ron Paul "It's happening" in the loading screen whenever you post in the spin room

How about you drop the dead heads and use Liberty, Justice, The Heraldic Eagle, The Bison, and images of our Monuments; various images throughout history of the Flag in its different iterations, The Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution.

Faces are divisive. Symbols of what we are supposed to believe in aren't.

And to me if someone has a problem with our national symbols which represent the ideals that this nation was built upon then they aren't one of us.

Ann Coulter is almost as obnoxious as Pat Buchanan.

If you want somebody constructive in that category try Ross Perot. Ross and Pat were equally responsible for Bill Clinton, but at least Ross had real points.

Pat's basically the Republican form of a Democratic politician. Scorched earth if he doesn't get 100% his way and all ego. He could also be described as a Silent Generation version of a millenial.

Buchanan = dodo = blow-hard....

there ya go GTS...maybe a cuckoo bird pop-out would work...

John C. Calhoun, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster. If you go this route, all 3 should be together.

You could put in the logos of all the active political parties in the U.S. The name "Spin Room" would imply that images related to pure politics would be the way to go.

Heirs of the Founders----Clay, Calhoun and Webster. On my nightstand as one of my next books to read.
