Default most important election ever????

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_a...tt_romney.html


an excellent article.




“Is this presidential election really the most important in our lifetime?” That was the question asked, in so many words, by a concerned Brit at a discussion in London a few days ago. His words were directed at Larry Sabato, the American political analyst, whose countenance had been beamed onto a screen in a conference room like some giant electronic guru. Sabato didn’t blink. “This presidential election,” he replied, “is definitely the most important since 2008.”

I don't need some former hipster barista to tell me this election is meaningless because you have two candidates sponsored by the same bankers.

It's a side show to keep the populace divided.

It is, however, the most important election in DT history.

Agreed! In fact, the only reason it matters.

I just don't get it..This is a f.cking horse board not the UN. As much as I think Riot and Coach are both full of sh.it at times, who cares? If you want think you are so sure on the election, make a $10, 50, whatever wager, send the money to Steve and have it go to a horse rescue agency. This banned for life stuff is stupid. I get as annoyed listening the right wing and conspiracy people here as some do listening to Riot but I don't want anyone leaving the board.

Whatever..just my two cents

Well here's my reasoning for offering the bet. I'm a prick. A prick knows they're being an a-hole.

Riot is an a-hole. Assholes don't know they're assholes.

She's arrogant. A chalk-eater. Hasn't touted a horse or gave out picks once...definitely no more than 20 times.

So I am gambling on her certainty being wrong. In a bet that has had corruption in the past. And a President in office that is eerily following the same path as the last demonrat before Messiah Internet Bubble Clinton.

This prick is trying to make an a-hole realize she's an a-hole. If I lose...I flounce. It's not like I can't stay in touch with people I like on here. It's not like this forum is attracting new users.

So we're going to sacrifice.

Prick vs. a.sshole

I offered the bet. You accepted, then were reckless and impulsive by changing the stakes from $100 to "have to leave DT".

I then gave you a chance to change the stakes back from "have to leave" to "leave only the politics section", reminding you of all your friends here, but you chose to ignore that.

I accepted your change of stakes offer with virtually a 100% chance of winning. You wrote you own destiny by making a very foolish bet.

You probably shouldn't have called me c.un.t so many times over the years. It will be so pleasant for the board not to have to hear you when you do that.
