Want to FREAK your RePub "friends"? Bet them $100 that Obama will win and MEAN IT. I did. FUN !!

[RBInMaine]

This is soooooooooo much FUN. First, Obama WILL win the election. He is surging in the endgame and all credible predictive models and polls have him winning. So FEEL CONFIDENT.

Next, if you have any interactions with RePublican "friends," co-workers, etc. who are trashing Obama and/or talking shit about how Obama is terrible, is going to lose, etc. etc. Don't argue back. Just take out your wallet or checkbook or a wad of cash (if you have it, if not ok this still works) and say very confidently and emphatically,

"I WILL BET YOU $100 RIGHT NOW THAT OBAMA WILL WIN. LET'S GO. IF YOU ARE SO CONFIDENT, PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH AND CONFIDENCE ARE. IF MITT WINS. I WILL GIVE YOU $100. IF OBAMA WINS, YOU PAY ME. I AM 100% SERIOUS AND NOT KIDDING. COME ON. LET'S BET RIGHT NOW." Then watch them SQUIRM.

Trust me, I already did this with a right winger acquaintance just the other day and oh so fun. He was sitting there saying the polls were wrong and that Mitt was going to win, bla bla bla... I then waited for the diatribe to end and said, "Your predictive models are wishful thinking. I think you've been on DickMorris.Com. Now, if you really are so confident, I will bet you $100 dollars right now that Obama wins. Gentlemens' agreement. Mitt wins, I pay you. Obama wins you pay me. Ok? I mean it. Let's bet right now."

Well, you should have seen his face. He squirmed and wormed about "Well I am confident but I don't gamble...." bla bla bla. I just then said, "Well guess you ARE nervous aren't you? Guess you don't have confidence in your confidence, do you? If I were you, I wouldn't have much confidence either, and I would be VERY nervous. Mitt is going to lose, and that cardboard shape-shifting PHONY deserves it in a big way. Have a great day." You could have heard a pin drop. FUN !!

1. When they say "I don't gamble"

Say that's fine. If Obama wins you hang the president's picture in your home. If Romney wins I will hang his in my home.

Clean pic, nothing crude, in a place of honor as the President of the United States deserves.

[RBInMaine]

3. Add, "And the winner gets to come to the loser's house and hang the picture. NOW will you bet??"

[nichomachus]

5. When they say they don't gamble

Tell them that voting for Romney is he biggest gamble anyone can take, since no one knows what he stands for.

[rgbecker]

6. BINGO!

[RightBWrong]

10. Touche...

Very nice

[Old Union Guy]

16. Hanging a president's picture in your home is un-American ...

... unless he's a member of your family or a personal friend.

2. They are all bluster.

They see the state polling yesterday and are confused and worried. Plus Rasmussen shows them a tie and Obama at 51% approval.

[RBInMaine]

4. BET THEM THE $100. DO IT ! It really SHUTS THEM DOWN. Their faces turn to SHIT. SO FUN !!

[Mister Ed]

7. Better yet: "If Romney wins, I'll donate $100 to the RNCC. If Obama wins, you donate it to the DNCC"

Imagine the fun of watching them make out checks to the Democratic National Congressional Committee, to help elect more Democrats to congress!!

[Logical]

8. I have offered a $1000 bet to 4 people who said Romney would win in a landslide! NO Takers! LOL.

[RBInMaine]

11. It's just wonderul to watch their chins drop, isn't it? They look like they've shit themselves.

[Logical]

13. No kidding. They are real confident until money is on the line. They know they are going to lose!

[driver8]

9. I've done it -- won $200 in 2008 and look to win another $200 this election!!

My brother in law -- Mr. Financial guru, couldn't wait to take my bet!!

His money will be the sweetest.

[RBInMaine]

12. Good for you. You'd think he'd learn his lesson.

[johnlucas]

15. At least your brother-in-law's got guts. He actually put up some cash

I give him credit for actually making the bet.
Unlike the chickens RBInMaine were talking about in his thread.

What I would do when you win, driver8, is to call your winnings a "stimulus".
Hahahahahahaha!
Say to your brother-in-law "Thanks for the stimulus package!"
That should make it EXTRA salty!
Hahahahahaha!

14. You make fun threads, RBInMaine!

I'm like this too when somebody keeps squawking & squawking about something all in my ear.
If you feel that strongly about something, put up or shut up.

They act stupid but they ain't THAT stupid.
They know Romney's a loser.
This is just their denial stage kicking in.

I wish I coulda seen you do that in action, RBInMaine!
I LOVE stuff like that!
I wish I coulda saw the looks on their faces when you told 'em to put up or shut up!
They obviously picked Option #2: Shut Up
Hahahahahahaha!

17. I didnt think this was worth its own thread but...

This thread is fun so... I have to say I really enjoy seeing Katy Perry wearing form fitting Obama dresses...
