$10,000 bet

Posted by 0Lindsey on December 12, 2011 at 5:15pm in Mr Bruns 360 Message Board

Mitt Romney bet Rick Perry that he didn't change his book regarding the individual mandate to buy health insurance. The outragious wager was main thing that everyone is talking about. Now Romney is saying that he was joking. It is like saying you want to bet a million dollars.

What do you think of the presidential debate? Who is your favorite candidate and why?

Dont really know who i like better but a bet is a bet and no matter what it was you have to keep your word and pay up ESPECIALLY if you are running for president. I mean, it might be just a small little bet but to other people it could mean a man running to be in charge of this country who will not follow his word.

I don't really know who's my favorite; I don't stay too updated with all of the presidential debate stuff....I guess I would just like to see a good election process between Obama and whoever is chosen for the Repbulican side.

I don't really watch the debates or have a favorite candidate. They say they will do all this stuff if you vote them in, but does it all really happen? It just seems like arguing and putting the others down. I think he should have considered if he intended to actually pay up on that bet or not.

i think if you make a bet you must stick to it. you make the bet you follow through. but i did listen to the debate and i am still undecided i think newt is a genious and super smart but he is a little rough and harsh. so i am still undecided.

this kind of went a little overboard but i can see it being a joke. my favorite candidate for 2012 is any of them but obama...

Idk who my favorite candidate is and dont look much into that. But when you make a bet you should pay up instead of say your kidding after you have lost or something.

Kind of a bad decision. I bet a lot of poor people think he's rich now.

Instead of them wasting all that money they should have gave it to me, or some charity

All these nominees are morons, for lack of a better term. My favorite candidate for 2012 is for Obama to be re-elected because our nation will become completely fascist if any of these guys are elected.
