Mr. Fun is much more correct that che. Being a commie has screwed with his mind

I saw a report on MSNBC that said that Bush and Kerry dividing the states exactly the same way as in 2000 with Florida being the decider once again.

People have to remember that Bush would have taken Florida with ease had the networks not given a permature announcement calling the state for Gore. Tens of thousands of the heavily Republican panhandle voters simply did not vote because of the early call.

Mr. Fun would happily vote for Bush if his TV told him to.

Which was balanced out by the first call that was made by Bush's cousin on FOX news claiming Bush won Florida.

Also have to remember that 50,000 eligibile voters were illegally removed from Florida's voting rolls. Also have to remember that some 3,000 fraudulent absentee ballots went unchallenged because the Repugs wailed about Gore disenfranchising the military. Also have to remeber that in Republican Jacksonville, the election machines for the Black districts weren't cleaned out, making it impossible to punch the ballots, resulting in 27,000 spoinled ballots in Jacksonville (the most in the whole state). Also have to remember the 8,000 out o state felons Jeb Bush illegally stripped of their voting rights, depite a standing court order to restore them. Also have to remember the butterfly ballot made by a Republican temprorarily slumming in the Democratic party). Also remember the thens of thousands of tossed over-votes.

In fair election, Gore won this state. Only Republican fraud won it for them.

Given the original scenario, I could see rioting across the U.S if Congress goes either way. This is one of the most polarized elections in years. If Shrub got in like this, I could see people trying to physically stop the motorcade and tar and feather him. Wouldn't that be glorious?

You know, Che, you are right. The Dems are completely out of control and by nature are law breakers.

Ned · March 4, 2004, 18:16

So, Che, you again confirm that felons are Democrats?

Not all. A disproportionate number are, however.

Ned · March 4, 2004, 18:22

But it does confirm the tendency of Democrats to take the law into their own hands and ignore the rules when their interests are at stake.

chequita guevara · March 4, 2004, 18:24

Different groups break different rules, Neddie. I'm sure most of the boys going away for securities fraud are Repugs.

Ned · March 4, 2004, 18:27

Che, you know a lot about corporate executives. They seem evenly split between the parties.

Is Martha Stewart a Republican or a Democrat?

Care to make it interesting, Ben?

What would you suggest?

I already won an avatar bet against Howard Dean to defeat Bush.

I have another on the Canadian election that says the Conservatives will do better than the NDP wrt to the number of seats in the next election.

Jimmytrick:

In this thread, not on the forum. First in the thread to say that Bush will win in a landslide.

And weren't you supporting Edwards, some time ago?

Cash money, mon ami.

Ben Kenobi · March 4, 2004, 19:54

No dice.

I don't gamble for money.

Guynemer · March 4, 2004, 20:03

Better for you. You'd lose.

Imran Siddiqui · March 4, 2004, 20:16

Didn't jimmytrick and someone else try to make a cash bet? Of course, it would be almost impossible to enforce at all.

Guynemer · March 4, 2004, 20:18

Yeah, but jt was betting thousands of dollars; I simply don't have that much scratch to spare.

$50, however, I can manage.

I question the reasoning capacities of anyone who thinks this election will be anything but a nailbiter.

I don't mind betting avatars, which is a form of humiliation. I'm very confident that Bush will win, but I just don't bet money.

Sorry.

Imran Siddiqui · March 4, 2004, 20:29

Oh oh! Bet him to put Mr. Fun's old 'gay guys' avatar on

Fine, avatars it is then. And you stated that Bush would win "in a landslide." So...

1) state your avatar terms; and
B) define "landslide."

She's the head of the "Martha Stuart for supreme ruler of the Earth" party.

MrBaggins · March 4, 2004, 20:31

Betting money online is uber-dumb.

Better to bet a banning, provided you can get a mod to agree to enforce it... thats my suggestion.

Guynemer · March 4, 2004, 20:32

NOW you're talking.

David Floyd · March 4, 2004, 21:37

Actually, I have a good bet for BK. If Bush loses, he is required to take 2 months off from both abortion debates and gay debates. If Bush wins, I can't touch serious Libertarian debates for 2 months.

Guynemer · March 4, 2004, 22:04

Better yet.

If Bush does not win in a landslide, BK must spend a week volunteering at a women's clinic.

Drake Tungsten · March 4, 2004, 22:05

Kerry will win, because he is taller than Bush. Case closed.

Boris Godunov · March 4, 2004, 22:07

I'll do the avatar bet with BK. If Bush doesn't win by at least 10 pts, BK has to to sport an avatar of my choosing for one month. And if Bush does win by 10+ points, vice-versa.
