Reply #149: I'll bet you $100 Pelosi will not be President... [View All]

I will donate $100 to the charity of your choice if Nancy Pelosi is sworn in as President before Jan. 20, 2009. It ain't gonna happen...despite the letter of the law, impeachment is a political act, with a huge impact on the American psyche...even if the votes could be mustered, simultaneous impeachment would never happen.

If, as I hope, investigations force the MSM to cover the evils committed by Bush/Cheney over the last 6 years, thus raising the general population's awareness of the need for impeachment proceedings, I would expect Cheney to be targeted first, and Bush would be allowed to name a successor. The Dems would not block the naming of a VP just so they could then impeach Bush and elevate Pelosi to the White House- can you imagine the fallout from that? Remember many of these are the same dems who would not filibuster Roberts or Alito, voted for the Iraq war, voted for the Patriot Act, voted for the Military Commissions Act, etc. etc. With few exceptions, they are not about to stick their necks out to put Pelosi in the White House.

Nevertheless, as I said, if Pelosi is sworn in as President prior to 01/20/09, I will not only donate $100 to the charity of your choice, but, because I will be overjoyed at this historic event, I will also send you your choice of flowers or candy!

Now, since you are 100% per cent certain Pelosi will be President, will you match my bet? If Nancy Pelosi is not sworn in as President before 01/20/09, will you donate $100 to my charity of choice? You can leave out the flowers/candy, as I'm allergic, and on a diet...
