I doubt it. Probably more along the lines of "I'm taking my ball back to Texas. Screw you guys! Until I can go lend support to someone or something."



Crud. I'm in Texas, aren't I?

I'd just like to take this opportunity to point out that Rick Perry apparently openly eats roadkill.

Wait. Is this a bad thing for some reason? Because I'm honestly not seeing why. If anything, this is a plus in my book. And it's not something that's uncommon, I know plenty of people who do it.

I've got a book that details the cooking of it on my shelf right in front of me. I've certainly eaten worse things than roadkill.

Ahh, so the NTS is gonna show up after Perry gets thrashed in SC?

"The people who voted in this round weren't true South Carolineans."

It's perfectly fine, and actually pretty awesome. My county has the highest absolute and per capita deer-roadkill rates in the country. We get teams of people to go clean them up, butcher what's clean, make sure it's sterile, and then give it to the food bank. It's allowed us to not only keep the food bank open, but feed people what can be really good venison.

I don't even know about the Republicans right now. Huntsman is about the only one I would consider voting for. Maybe Gary Johnson. My main complaints about the leaders:

Romney: His stance is 'get elected at all costs', and he gets most of his funding from Super PACs. (Businesses.)

Santorum: I cannot agree with a social conservative. Sometimes fiscal conservatives, but not this guy.

Paul: This man would dump us into the Great Depression and call it 'good for building character'.

Wait. There are Republican candidates who aren't socially conservative?

See, maybe that's what its like where you live. Around here, roadkill = cats, dogs, and the occasional rodent that are frequently in two pieces. Not exactly the most appetizing thing in the world.

What? Possum isn't high-quality roadkill fare?!

We don't have possums. Think squirrels.

I'd love to run for President someday, but the fact that I am a socialist (and wed this with Christianity no less), as well as my very open rejection of patriotism outright, make victory unlikely.

well, most Americans support socialist ideas, but are just afraid of the word socialism, because of the enormous effort conservatives have made in the last 70 years or so to associate it with the USSR. I think it's only a matter of time before people wake up.

Yeah.  In some ways, Ron Paul for instance has a few really socially progressive concepts (end the drug war, etc). 

Edit:  Of course, the whole anti-gay, anti-choice, Christian Nation ideology complex doesn't really he make him 'socially conservative' outside of a few things like that above.

How does he plan on ending it? There are a few theories on how to get that done, and I wouldn't call all of them progressive.

That's a gross oversimplification at the best. Accurate saying would be that most Americans believe that a completely unregulated capitalism isn't a good thing.

It's just not a thing that happens here Down Under, and I suppose my comment is somewhat supported by Perry himself implying that it's not good. Anyway, back on topic.

A) I've eaten roadkill, and if cooked properly and found fresh, it's not so bad. It's just meat, after all.
B) I'll go ahead with the exploratory committee, say that I've been running it for four years, and go from there. Isn't that what they all do?
C) I'm an extreme liberal, to the point where some of my leanings wrap completely around back into conservative areas, but that's to do mostly with the government not putting their noses where they don't belong. Any further questions can be asked via PM (as if anyone actually has them), as to avoid flamewars.

Holy shit, I just had the weirdest sense of deja-vu reading that post. Have you copy-pasted that from another of your posts, Max? 

[MaximumZero]

Erm...no? Maybe I've talked politics before, but I don't recall.
