I remember an article many moon ago when I still lived near Philly.  There was a "Fat is Beautiful" convention wherein the attendants made many complaints about having problems with discrimination.

The reporter interviewed a guy working for the caterer for the convention.  Asked him if he thought obese people had such a problem with discrimination.  "Heck yeah!  They have problems discriminating between 1 slice of pizza and the whole pie!".

C&SD - that wasn't you they interviewed by any chance??

Pizza has to be at least 1" deep.  And eaten with a knife and fork it's so thick.

So Herman Cain has my vote for now.  Although I like Michelle Bachman and Alan West as well. 

I just can't see Gov. Goodhair getting the nomination.  Not after Bush II.  He kinda poisoned the Texas Gov to White house path.

I like West and Bachmann too, but they are more likely to be heading breakaway republics, not the current US of A.  Cain will fade away before 2012.  The guy with the best hair will win.

Thin crust pizza is for wankers.

Neither Perry nor Palin were on the stage. At least one of them will be in the running.

That's a bad bet.....but I'd make a side bet that Perry is going to pull an LBJ and maneuver to get himself a VP spot...

I tried to order a pineapple and ham pizza for my wife.  The thickly accented reply was, "We only make Italian pizza."  No further discussion of pineapple or other adulterants was entertained.

You think in Italy they don't "experiment" with pizza?  Ever had "quattro stagioni" pizza?

You think New York pizza is thin? Then you ain't seen St. Louis pizza. Cracker-thin. St. Louis-style also means provolone cheese, but I prefer mozzarella. Sometimes, olive oil with garlic is nice, instead of tomato sauce.

True St Louis style pizza uses a nasty Velveeta-like processed provolone cheese called Provel®

I once ate a grilled processed cheese sandwich that was cooked in industrial food safe lubricant. The mix up was caused by a new worker mistaking a jug of food service equipment grease with margarine.  I grabbed one on the way to break and ate it in practically one bite, giving me a full 15 minutes to take awareness of the glossy not-quite-food flavored sandwich. It twisted in my body for hours and I am certain it will still be there long after my body decays and blows away to dust.

Frankly, I'm not too sure about St. Louis style anything. I didn't know there was a St. Louis style pizza but with Provel.... no thanks.

Most places will use mozzarella, if you ask.

Well, I'm going to stick a Ron Paul sign in my yard.  I just hope he has the balls to nuke everyone who pisses us off.

IMO, the best thing about Ron Paul is that he pisses off everybody that I like seeing get pissed off.  The same could be said of Rick Perry in most cases.

Since this thread has been revived...after seeing speeches from most of the candidates, POTUS, VPOTUS, and others, I am still wishing for a Ryan/rice or anyone/Ryan ticket...just to see Ryan debate Obama (preferably) or Biden...though wouldn't the latter be more verbal slapstick than a debate?  I can imagine giving the "no where in that rambling response did you come anywhere close to a coherent thought...and we are all now dumber for hearing it...I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul" response to a Biden statement.

Ron Paul was my congressman for a while . . . I like seeing him in congress.

But once I saw him say 9/11 was "blowback for US policies," I decided I didn't want him getting anywhere near the Oval Office.

I agree with you on the governor part....but he's way to liberal to be POTUS....


I'm still holding out hope for a Allen West/Michelle Bachmann ticket....but my guess will be that the GOP will force either Romney or Perry down our throats....and the Tea Party will just skip voting for POTUS.....

Is Rick Perry's RINO reputation well-known outside of Texas? Will he really have trouble positioning himself as a Tea Partyist?

Allen West or Michelle Bachmann may be President, but it won't be of this America.

Condi Rice has zero chance of being on anybody's ticket.  Her association with W. is a glaring minus, and she lacks experience as an elected official.  America is not interested in another "academic" in the White House.

Rick Perry is telegenic perfection for the Presidency.  Whether he's the real deal--or as some suggest a Bilderberger emissary--I'll leave to those who know his record better.

Not really sure...he's kinda wrapping himself in that "Texas Independent" flag that fools people into thinking that Texas is more free than it actually is....but there are plenty of Tea Party, disgruntled supporters of the prior governor candidates,  and Texas Democrats who will make sure that Perry's rep gets reported....but I don't see the "mainstream" conservative news sources (FoxNews, Limbaugh, Beck, etc.) jumping on board to tell the story....

Good thing we still have the Internet.....
