Is Biden a wimp or...

"A vice presidential candidate has banned a local television station from further interviews. That can't be good"
Now I want YOU to tell ME the irony
Not huge. 3.8% to my research.
Come on mouthpiece. Either accept or decline my offer.
I can do that. Most likely National Right to Life for me.
Honestly though, to make this bet "real", it should be you do my charity or I do yours. But I will let that slide (for now).
Just for clarification though... IF Barry wins.....the winner of this wager wins if the taxes on those making $50k or less does or does not go up (relatively speaking), by say June 01, 2009. Agreed?
Hard to let it slide when that's exactly what I said. So yes, that's the offer.
I am the winner if taxes on under 50k do not go up. You are the winner if they do. June 01, 2009. All bets off if obama doesn't win obviously.
Deal.
Political interviews aren't "lets dream up some ****ing asinine questions". There is some prep and a certain level of respect given to the interviewee.
If you think my opinion is strictly political, here are two examples:
"Senator McCain. You wrote extensively about being a prisoner of war. How has that affected your mental stability?"
"Governor Palin. Your husband was in the Alaskan Independence Party. Are you successionists?"
BTW, I would like to hear more about share the wealth, but these two idiots are repeating a dirty word they heard on the playground, Socialist. There is nothing to be gained to answering that question, because it associates Obama's capitalistic tax plan with communism.
P.S. I heard from Olbermann that Barbara West's husband is a GOP strategist. Hmmm.
ok, howsa bout a side bet: if obama allows the current tax cuts to expire, this is effectively a tax hike, right?
also of note, capital gains taxes are set to increase just before he takes office by either 10 or 20%. this is in addition to the various readjustments due to expire in just over 2 yrs.
so, if obama does nothing (i.e., asks congress to extend current tax cuts), our taxes are going up. but, no, he would not have raised them.
see what he did there?

Shuush. A tax increase is a tax increase, no matter how it happens.
Wow, it's really going to come down to these types of arguments with you? Nice job picking the date of June 1, 2009, too, as the fed fiscal year doesn't end until September 30. Are these the things you counted on before agreeing to this bet? Says a lot about your stance and beliefs. I guess an increase in any tax is fair game, such as gas taxes should that occur? So I'm wondering why you didn't pic a date of say November 4, 2009 rather than June 1, 2009? That would be one year from the election, but would actually permit any changes in the tax rates to actually be Obama's (should he win).Shuush. A tax increase is a tax increase, no matter how it happens.

I forgot what thread this was in. Anyway.........nope. The only reason this wager exists is to find out if vbiker genuinely believes what he froths. I already know you're nuts so I take you at your word.
But to your point. Expirations don't count. Especially ones before inauguration. An active signing of a bill that raises personal federal income taxes does. And what the hell, if there's a dispute I'd even say YOU could arbitrate so he doesn't bltch and moan.
