Poll question: A Bush supporter asked me last night
Edited on Mon Sep-26-05 12:08 PM by Horse with no Name
If I would bet $100 that Bush wouldn't finish his term if she bet he would.
Should I take her up on her bet?

1. Is she wagering that he will finish and you are wagering he won't?
I wouldn't take that bet. He'll finish. Then Frist will be your next president.

11. No. Frist will be "investigated", declared innocent and found to be a
GREAT candidate for president.

7. Frist; what happened to Hatch, Lott, and Newt?
Have we fixed the vote yet?
Are we even working on fixing the vote?

impeach him.

12. I would take that bet on 10-1 odds.
I think Bush is going to be under pressure to resign within a year, based on two calamities:

1. He is going to pull out of Iraq in total defeat.
2. He is going to be personally implicated in the Plame Affair.

14. You are a bigger risk taker than I am. I think it's possibe
but not probable that bush won't finish his term. If he can hold on until after the midterms without a change in the house leadership, he's home free.

10. i'd have to ask for odds...
1) repug legislature
2) hell, it's rare for ANY president to be impeached
3) he's well into his term...if things wait very long he'll be out before he's impeached

ask for 5:1 odds...then you could only lose $20 to her $100. can you lose $20?

13. They need him in office.
The worse he looks the better it is for them to do their dirty work behind the embarassing distraction that is W.

15. He's not going anywhere...Keep your money.
And tell your Bush Supporter that you're going to donate it to Democratic efforts for 2006. :)

16. Tell her to keep her money...
She'll be needing it. Thanks to Bushco's oil industry buddies,
she can use her $100 for a fill-up in a couple weeks.

19. We can only hope. However, since they have control
both houses in Congress they will never vote to impeach him, even if he openly murdered someone. He is their god.
