I have stated my strong opinion that Trump has no hope for the GOP nomination but he is entertaining. Now he is in a public feud with Robert DeNiro over the Obama birth certificate. I really don't understand why all the vitriol from the left about the birth certificate brouhaha. It seems to me to benefit Obama as it really makes guys like Trump seem very unserious. But I do find it fascinating that the government media puts another high school dropout actor on an alleged news show. As Brian Kilmeade so well stated in his famous slam down of Jenneane Garafolo (sp) the reason her academic and work background is relevant because it was the only reason she was there. Otherwise she is just another loser that would be breaking up fights at the local McDonalds. But because she makes money telling jokes (and she is not very funny in my opinion) and can pretend to be someone else she deserves special treatment? Heck, I think most McD's drive through workers are more informed and intelligent.....but I digress. Hey Robert, shut up and act. Its the only thing we want to see from you.

I assume you expected McCain and Palin to win in 2008. It is fun to watch the Republicans consider one of their leading candidates to be entertainment. You give us non producers and losers reason to say thanks for stating the obvious. Please keep us posted on Trumps progress.

I can never understand why some actors and other entertainers feel compelled to speak out on politics. They are only interesting when they are doing their trade, not necessarily as citizens. I find Trump amusing. He really gets in those reporters faces when he doesn't like a question, and smacks them around. I don't think I want him as my President, but he's a nice break from the drone of the pack.

Couldn't agree more.  I do enjoy his lack of desire to be friends with the media or the liberal elite in the Hollyweird.

Uh ok, GF.  Not sure what you mean about McCain/Palin.  I certainly wanted them to win given the alternative.  History will be on my side on that one.  You of course are informed enough to know early polls are all about name recognition.  As I stated previously, just ask Hillary.  I am willing to bet that Trump will not be the nominee.  Interested in a little friendly wager?

You describe yourself as a non producer. Would that be self sustaining non producer (non contributor) or non producer dependent on the goodwill of others (parasite)? If dependent on others, would the others include taxpayer subsidies? I dont count SS retirement or veterans retirement benefits as a taxpayer subsidy. On the other hand, Medicare absolutely counts. Where do you fit into this mix? Armed with that information, it may help me better appreciate your perspective on a variety of issues, among them your semi regualr posts acknowledging that dems at every level are held to, and should continue to be held to a lower standard for both performance (words and actions) and moral accountability, that dem party officials and elcted dem reps have no values, moral, family, or otherwise, that I should feel better about surrendering a greater portion of my earned income to the central government to assist in their sustained efforts to destroy free markets, among others. Help me understand why our views, yours and mine, are in diametric opposition.

Considering the odds are 4000 to 1, we have a deal. my $1.00 against you $4,000. What bank will you establish the escrow fund? Looks like you are not alone in your rejection of Trump. The 2012 Presidential betting odds have been updated and sponsored by BetUS Sportsbook, pioneering the online gambling industry for over 16 years! Within days of the 2008 Presidential election, the World's top sportsbooks posted the odds on the 2012 Presidency. This is the best time ever to get your bets in as the odds are the greatest for many of the candidates. The obvious early favorite is the current President, Barack Obama at -200 odds. Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin are the next closet with +1000 odds. Rob Portman is right behind with +1200 odds and Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Mike Huckabee round out the top seven at +1500. A couple of the long shots are Donald Trump at +4000 odds and the World Wide Web's favorite candidate Congressman Ron Paul at +4500 odds. Despite his age you might think Ron Paul is a good bet since he is a true Constitutionalist candidate and if there is ever a revolution in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA he would be the strong favorite to win. All of this might be true, but there is a good chance no one would want to get paid in Dollars! Add a little excitement this political season, take a look at all the Presidential betting odds listed below, place your wagers and enjoy the exciting 2012 Presidential race! 2012 Presidential betting odds sponsored by BetUS Sportsbook Winning Candidate Moneyline Al Gore +2000 Barack Obama -200 Bill Frist +2500 Bobby Jindal +2000 Charlie Crist +2500 Condoleeza Rice +2000 David Petraeus +3500 Donald Trump +4000 Evan Bayh +2000 Hillary Clinton +1500 Jeb Bush +2000 Joe Biden +1500 Joe Wurzelbacher +8000 John Edwards +3000 John McCain +5000 Mark Sanford +5000 Mark Warner +5000 Michael Bloomberg +2000 Mike Huckabee +1500 Mitt Romney +1000 Newt Gingrich +5000 Ron Paul +4500 Rudolph Giuliani +2500 Sarah Palin +1000 Tim Pawlenty +2000

Nice try GF but if you trust a website that comes up with negative odds you really must ask for a refund from your local school board wherever you went to school. I was thinking of something more entertaining. How about this one. If Trump is the GOP nominee I will send you a picture of me in an Obama Hopey Changey t-shirt or whatever they are going to use this time around to fool the American people. If someone else is, I need a picture of you in a Sarah Palin for President t-shirt. Given your leftist tendencies I would also ask that you are properly clothed from the waist down as well. Thought I might forget that part, eh?

Surely you jest GF. The guy is a bufoon out for additional publicity. Have you heard anyone on this board or, the media for that matter, that considers him a candidate.... much less a serious one. Personally, I can't stand even looking at him. But, then again, I Would vote for him over the Chosen One.

Are you suggesting you never heard of negative odds? -200=bet 200 to win 100. +200=bet 100 to win 200. Nevative would be 1:2 odds and positive would be 2:1 odds. I would never deface my Palin shirt for a cheesy picture. I wear mine at meetings with the old ACORN groupies and it drives them crazy. I especially like the one with the moose on the back that says "Hunt or Starve". Trump is really acting like a bozo with his latest of Obama grades in college. Next, he will want proof the kids are Obama's and not kidnapped from Kenya. He makes the GOP look like a reality show.

Do you really consider The Trumpster a voice for the GOP? Is he a conservative?... Yes, and that's where it ends. Donald is taking advantage of a totally "duped" media to get face time.... pure and simple. I don't think you will find 1 "right winger" on this board that would endorse him for president. So, since you are so adept at betting and odds and stuff, do you care to make a wager as to whether or not he even comes close to being the Republican nominee? As they say on the talk shows, I'll hang up and listen.

I have never heard of anyone betting on negative odds, have you? That is where the refund from your school would be recommended. I know you secretly think Palin is a hottie. The one with her field dressing a moose is a personal favorite of mine. I take it from your response to my challenge that you too are enjoying Trump but likewise realize he will not get the nomination. Have fun as it won't last once the real candidates get in and start to take some of the attention that the current vacuum has created for the Donald. I know I am. I too was worried about the Messiah's grades and am glad Trump is taking it on like the birth certificate issue. These are important and need to be explored. I also want to know if he has ever been to Area 51....or maybe he walked out of the desert from there one day and just suddenly appeared.....inquiring minds need to know. The fact that he is a leftist, big government incompetent leading this country to 3rd world status is apparently not that big a deal to the Donald as he has chosen to focus on other more pressing issues.

Ah, an alleged lack of brains is your problem, eh? GF, I would love to see you in a debate with Palin.....talk about reverse odds. Let's face facts here, you just don't agree with her political views. Because her arguments make too much common sense you have to attack her supposed lack of intelligence. Ad hominum attacks are a sure sign of an intellectually weak position.

MSN online reporting that Chairmen is providing media with copies of his long form birth certificate ahead of a statement this morning. O has no spine, lost a staring contest with a tv star, I feel much better knowing he is our fearless leader. Maybe there is something to be said for "star power". My Sarah has battled bigger and better than Trump, standing alone, without the resources of the US government for nearly 2 years.

GF was given a homework assignment with respect to GOV Palin - an assignment which he did not complete.  Now, I have done my homework and am armed with the facts.  Those facts have been made available to GF ON THIS FORUM (by me and by others).  He has yet to refute them, or debate them from his own research.

 

This is a game by GF where he baits folks on the forum… and then scurries back under the porch.  The military academies have a special technique for dealing with such a pest.  It is called “silencing.”  If we exercised that option with GF, his little game would starve from lack of participants.  Otherwise, we continue to get this little Chihuahua rushing out from under the porch to yap and nip at our heals… then he rushes back under the porch when challenged.
