Concession (of a kind) and Goodbye.

[Papageorgio]

A bet is a bet, some would call it gutsy, others would call it stupid.

Take care Liability and Conservative.

 

[Mad Scientist]

I think some of these posters took this bet secretly hoping they'd lose? Maybe they'd been thinking about leaving for one reason or another and didn't know how to do it?

Message board burn out DOES HAPPEN, I've seen it on many different boards. And when it happens to you just take a few weeks or months off and come back.

When and if I get sick of USMB and wanna' leave I'll just tell ya'.

I made a bet. I lost. Welching is not cool, at least not the way I was raised. Therefore, I am obligated to honor the bet (Zona's revenge ): and the terms were simple. I bet that Pres. Obama would NOT get re-elected.

Based on everything I have seen tonight, the election actually is now over. Even if Mitt takes Ohio (which is still kind of up in the air, the "call" notwithstanding) and even if he somehow prevails in FL and VA, he seems to have lost CO. (I blame mal.) The trouble is, he had to end up running that table. And without CO, he didn't. End of story.

The payment terms were simple, too. If I lost the bet, I was to flat out LEAVE USMB.

That time, evidently has come. (Of course, if a miracle happens, and Mitt ends up winning on a recount or three or five, I'll come back upon the same terms!) No. I am not counting on that.

Thus, I am obliged to leave USMB. I have been' assured' by lots of my lib "buddies" that I will come back under some other username. Nope. Gone means gone. They can believe whatever a lib's heart says they should believe. But, I'll still be gone. (I discovered a new place which I like anyway, so I will not be suffering in some arid desert.)

To my lib pals and even those who I never much liked, I will concede the following. Not only was I wrong in my political guess, I was WAY the fuck off. There. You can gloat. I was wrong.

In your favor, I will also say JUST this much more. Your political philosophy is misguided as all hell. But most of you think the way you think for good enough reasons. I admire that. Beats the snot outta the attitude of most Americans who just don't even give thought to the issues of our time.

To my more or less Conservative pals, I urge you to keep up the good fight. It is plainly an uphill battle. But the course you have chosen is the right one. THIS particular electoral loss is a very deep and cutting one. But what can we do? Giving up is not an option. So, keep up your efforts to educate the libs and the majority of indifferent fellow citizens. Someday, conservative political philosophy may yet flower. Time permitting.

That leaves only one thing left to say.

Adios.

It's been fun. I will be gone as well soon. Not much point now in talking politics. This country is pretty much done and Iit's dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.

Bye.

Fair winds and following seas Liability. Don't want to see you go, but honor and respect you keeping your word. At the end of the day a man's word is more valuable than money or gold.


PM me with your new hang-out if you wish, I might stop by to say "Hi".

[Foxfyre]

And sometimes I think it is okay to admit that you promised or pledged something really stupid and following through is hurtful to yourself and everybody else. I think this might be one of those times.

What a crybaby. You lost, so you quit.

Liberals lose, they fight harder.

 

[Synthaholic]

Can I have your rep?

Sure you can.

...all you have to do, is earn it.

(You have to explain every f*kin thing to lefties.)

So by this I guess you don't support Republican efforts to do away with the Estate Laws? (Those dumbasses call it the Death Tax)

Wriggle. Squirm. I'll enjoy it.

 

[Sarah G]

no one goaded libability into this bet....he just came out with the declaration.....

honor your bet dude.....slink outta here with your shoulders slumped and your head held low....

o wait wait you wont be able to read this...damn

Let's get a forwarding address.

 

[daveman]

I ain't buyin' it. He'll be back with some new name and will work really hard to not let his former identity become known. Liability was a puss who wouldn't make a man's wager on the election, but would only make a girlieman wager that he knew he could easily circumvent. That still makes him a puss in my book.

Your book is full of shit.

hahahahahahahahahahhaaha... oddly enough...in MY book, it says that Barack Obama, the DEMOCRAT, will be the president for the next four years... what does it say in YOUR book, loser?

It says "America is circling the drain, and clueless morons cheer it on."

Hint: That would be you.

You want a socialist utopia. You move to Greece and stop fucking up America.

the whole "gunslinger" persona thing reeks of a pimply faced teenager role playing from the boycave in his parent's basement.

didn't DO anything? I contributed money to liberal political action committees and to the DNC, and I voted... and I convinced other liberal minded expatriates to vote as well.

and you... well, your guy lost. And still you talk tough. If you don't like the course that America is taking, maybe YOU should renounce YOUR citizenship and move somewhere else. Losers like you don't get to tell the winners what to do.

 

[NLT]

Can I have your rep?

Fuck synth entitled to his rep also? He earned it and you want it distributed

Do you even know what "faux" means?

Because it sure doesn't look like. Moron.
