Bump all you want. A bet is a bet and I'm a man of my word. Until you have evidence otherwise then keep talking with no repercussions to your yapping.

How about 500 to you that republicans take the house? Bet or no bet?

Put up or shut up.

Somebody seems a bit butthurt.

Anyway, why would I take that bet when it's almost certain that they are going to take the House? It's a bet for suckers, just like the one that you made.

See you in November. You're underestimating the motivation of We The People.

I'm not butthurt at all. In fact I'm really looking forward to election day as this country moves to STOP barrack HUSSEIN obama. Check your polls, this president is downright hated by most of this country. We're coming and you can't stop the American Way of Life.

I'm going to LMAO when the Republican folks who fall for the Teabag Party's lines find out that their candidates are no better or different than the rest of the pack...
The entire political machine in this country is broken...FUBAR, and controlled by the big money...they only let us peons THINK we are a part of it all...

"Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss."

That's exactly what I said about Obama about two years ago.

Earth to Spidey, O'Donnald is not going to win according to all polls, maybe no Republican could win in the blue state of Deleware, but O'Dolland is the biggest loser the GOP could have possibly picked.

I have not have as much fun since the ever gulliable Paulbots predicted Ron Paul was a shoe in for Prez in 2008.

Spidey, I hope you have been saving up your pennies nickels and dimes to pay off Perknose, you can pretty well bet you blew it. I can't wait for your sour grapes that Deleware blew it.

lmao, too bad spidey wimped out of all the other bets.

Obama is no liberal leader like we could use, but he's a lot better than the alternative. We wouldn't have seen the modest healthcare improvements we got, the new consumer protection agency, the coming end to Don't Ask Don't Tell (apart from the court rulings), the two moderate Supreme Court appointments (the radical right four would have had two more votes), we probably wouldn't have had the modest Wall Street reforms we got, for a few.

That is very wrong, in fact Delaware was supposed to go Republican. An ex-republican Governor was supposed to win the R primary and win the state pretty easily. In fact Bow Binden (VPs son) did not run on the dem side and 1 big reason was the very popular former Gov was running on the R side. When he lost even R’s knew they went from a win to a sure lose.


As far as other tea baggers go, Kentucky was supposed to be another very easy win for republicans. But when Paul won the National Republicans have had to dump a lot of money in the race. I still think it will stay R but be a lot closer then it would have been.
Same with Nevada, Reid vs an “Unnamed opponent” Reid was losing. The Republicans put up Angle and now Reid/Dems went from a sure lose to maybe a close win.

In case you didn't know I gamble a lot..

Sounds like a Fiscal Conservative..NOT

Actually, his approval rating is higher than his disapproval rating in the latest polls I've seen ... fail on you crazy diamond.

Even if I cede that the things on your list are improvements for the sake of argument, Obama has still continued many of Bush's policies, including many which he promised to reverse. He promised revolutionary change and his tenure has been anything but. Certainly he is no less corrupt and prone to partisan politicking than Bush. I'm just not sure why anyone would vote for someone sponsored by one of the big two parties and expect them to truly be different than those helping them get elected - it's pure nonsense. If they were truly different, the party wouldn't be footing the bill for their campaign.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Yes, more lightweights with questionable backgrounds, more please.

Yeah, no kidding -- one such candidate won the White House, and now we're electing Senators like that too!?!?!

 

[IndyColtsFan]

This win only motivates me more. Do your part patriots.
1000 to O'donnel
1000 to Angle
1000 to Paul
1000 to Lally
1000 to Fionna

Do you mean Fiorina? I wouldn't send a nickel to that asshat.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Never underestimate a highly motivated voter base. The turnout this november will be record breaking on the republican side. The entire office is a buzz today about this victory and how we need to keep up the work. It's the topic every day. November is coming, it's coming, are you ready, what have you done to take this country back? That's what people are talking about.

This forum is so isolated to not understand just how pissed off this country is at Obama and RINOs who enable his agenda.

Unfortunately Spidey, while I do enjoy the thought of the Democrats being trampled in the election, I don't think this is one of the places it will happen. She is a very polarizing candidate and as someone (kage?) already said, she will likely drive independents over to the Democrats.

Also, if the Republicans won't support her, what is to prevent the preferred Republican candidate from running as an independent? If that happens, she doesn't stand a chance and the vote will be split, resulting in a likely Democratic victory.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

As I've said before, I think the Tea Party has some noble causes like wanting fiscal conservatism, smaller government, protecting individual liberty, however, when they embrace someone like Sarah Palin as a figurehead I cannot take the movement seriously -- the same as Glenn Beck's rally -- since it is orchestrated by a political entertainer for their own benefit.

This x 1000. I agree with the stances you mention above, but damn, they are embracing real dimwits as their preferred candidates and this kills their legitimacy.

The dimwits that vote for them believe they're the best!

The GOP and their talking heads have put a lot of energy into portraying Mr Obama as a radical liberal, Socialist, Commie, etc. But if you actually look at what he has proposed particularly in view of US modern political history, lets say going back to John Kennedy, Mr Obama is more conservative by any most definitions than Mr Nixon.

 

[Siddhartha]

BTW, can I get in on the DEL Senate race bet? I got $50 that says that Ms O'Donnell is going to lose.

He may be, but he didn't portray himself as such in his campaign - that was my point.

Bolded to illustrate just how prejudiced and bigoted spidey is.

You have a problem with our Presidents name?

Hey, don't you go confusing Spidey with those pesky facts and figures. Spidey isn't burdened with nit-picky concepts like data and reality. He has faith. He gets his "knowledge" from a higher plane: www.teabagblowhards.com. Real facts are the devil's work.

(And speaking of WWW, it's noteworthy that W's approval was even worse than Obama's. I wonder if Spidey can point us to those threads where he was equally hysterical about "stopping" Bush, and how the fact that Bush was "downright hated by most of this country" proved what a bad job he was doing. /snicker Naked partisan hypocrisy FTL.)

I have mixed feelings about Obama and fair contempt for Congressional Democrats. They've been a real disappointment in so many ways. I just don't see the Republicans (in general) offering anything better, and the Teabag crowd is so ignorant (e.g., Spidey) and so raving, bat shit insane (ibid.) they're driving moderates and independents to the left in self defense. Spidey, the best thing you and your nutter peers could do to defeat Democrats is shut up and go into hiding. Right now you're a massive anchor around the necks of the rational right.

Republican congresspeople have the lowest approval disapproval ratings out of:

- President Obama
- Democratic congresspeople
- Republican congresspeople

In that order too.

Obama Excitement Wanes as Young Voters Tune Out U.S. Election
By Catherine Dodge - Oct 24, 2010 9:01 PM PT


The thrill is gone for many voters under age 30 who turned out in 2008 to vote for President Barack Obama by a 2-1 nationwide margin. That support represented the biggest schism between young and older voters in a presidential election since exit polling began in 1972, according to the Pew Research Center in Washington.

This year, fewer than three in 10 voters under age 30 say they will definitely cast ballots in the Nov. 2 congressional elections, down from 36 percent 11 months ago, according to a poll by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics released Oct. 21.

That’s disheartening for Democrats like Representative Baron Hill in southeast Indiana. His race may hinge on support from younger voters on a sprawling, hilly campus of old stone halls who helped swell his 2008 victory margin to 58 percent. It was his biggest win ever in a district that voted Republican in the previous three presidential elections and includes the 42,000-student university in Bloomington.
