Issue date: Wednesday October 1, 2008. Domino's Pizza today reported a fresh rise in sales as consumers opted to dine at home during the current economic turmoil. The delivery firm, which operates a network of franchised stores, said like-for-like sales at its 449 mature stores rose 8.8% in the 13 weeks to September 28, although this was lower than a 14% rise a year ago.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) declared on Wednesday that the Republican brand “sucks.”

“Remember Domino’s Pizza? They admitted, ‘Hey, our pizza crust sucks.’ The Republican Party brand sucks and so people don’t want to be a Republican and for 80 years, African-Americans have had nothing to do with Republicans,” Paul said, according to The Hill.

Paul said that the party needs a makeover because “the perception is that no one in the Republican Party cares.”

“We’re also fighting 40 years of us doing a crappy job, of Republicans not trying at all for 40 years, so it’s a lot of overcoming,” he said. “You got to show up, you got to have something to say and really we just have to emphasize that we’re trying to do something different.”

The senator has repeatedly emphasized that the party needs to work on its image and outreach to minority voters, and he has made the comparison to Domino’s before.

  1. And what did they do? Repackage the same crap in a different box? No. They actually took a good look at how they could improve their product and then (gasp) implemented said plan.

  2. And the Aqua Buddha brand swallows like Totinos.

  3. Oh, GOP pizza is waaaay worse than Dominos. It’s a moldy crust with a pus sauce covered with bits of rodent excrement and left over malignant cancer biopsys.

  4. But don’t worry…unwanted sucking is not sexual assault either.
