Looks like the Great Weight Debate here has become academic.

1. He has said that he isn't running for a

couple of weeks now.

[Broderick]

2. Longer than that lol

Maybe they don't believe him.

Republicans lie all the time.

[daa]

3. It only makes good sense.

He has no name recognition, no national organization, no grass roots organization and he is crude and nasty but not necessarily a tea partier. He would be running against guys that have been running for a long time. It is hard to jump in with a matter of months left before the primaries. If his wife doesn't want him running then he isn't running, I believe him.

7. Whoever jumped in at this point would be the frontrunner though. Thats been the established pattern.

First it was Cain making waves then Bachmann then Perry. Now the GOP Circular Firing squad (TM) are turning their guns on Perry.

If someone could enter the race at this point with a lot of corporate money behind them they could easily knock off Perry and get the top spot.

And the cocksuc- I mean Koch Brothers - have tried tapping Christie already. He was on his way to meet with them when he took the chopper ride from his son's football game.

11. Run, Sarah, run!

Is it wrong that I get excited over the prospect of watching her and Perry destroy each other? I mean they've probably got 110 IQ points between them... it would kind of be like watching two brain damaged drunks get into a knife fight.

4. As if he could run!

:rofl:

[DesertFlower]

8. i was thinking the same thing.

:toast:

[orwell]

5. I guess Chris Christie...

...won't be the Great Weight Hope...

(Sorry I couldn't resist...)

[and-justice-for-all]

6. He can't run....

literally, he can not run.

[tridim]

9. I don't think he'll ever run, he has skeletons. Just a hunch.

[Erose999]

10. Yeah theres probably a skeleton under there somewhere.

Its well insulated.

[Hoosier Daddy]

12. The fat jokes aren't helpful. They feed directly into the right-wing meme...

that liberals are snobby elitists who look down upon most of their countrymen.

[11 Bravo]

13. I'm pretty fucking sick of playing by their rules, but only when it suits THEM.

Seen or heard the "Michelle Obama is fat" bullshit (spewed by none other than that svelte paragon of manhood, Rush Limbaugh)? And her husband? Well ... he's either a socialist or a Nazi, depending on which wingnut you are being exposed to. Fuck it! Christie is a fat piece of Republican shit, and I'm not about to stop pointing that out.
