9. I won a $20 wager..........
Sun Nov 11, 2012, 10:51 AM
Nov 2012

with a RMoney backer. The bet went in 1 week b4 the election & I tried to up it to $500 but despite being SURE Rmoney was gonna win he was afraid to put his money where his hope was.

I offered to bet everyone GOP in my neighborhood & had no takers & now the GOPers look at me, try not to make eye contact, then run away.

The best part of the after glow for me has been explaining to conturds how Fox news was lying to make them feel good & KKKarl Rove was either smarter than all his backers & ripped them off or KKKarl was as dumb as them, it is not yet determined which way KKarl lies.

At any rate I always try to focus on FACTS & just the word "FACTS" makes them whimper & run.
