"No, thank you, RINO. Go and read the FRONT PAGE of the website you’re posting on before you mouth off."

I've read it. And FYI, I've been a political independent since I first registered to vote, forty years ago. So take your RINO garbage, print it out on 11x17 paper, wind it arount a 1" dowel, tie it down with barbed wire, and stick it.

Thanks for the free advice, which appears to be worth about what anyone paid for it. For an independent, you sure seem dependent upon what the republican party thinks and does with candidates. Good luck with your candidate and your further pretensions to be conservative and independent. And thanks for bumping the thread.

Palin is still a bargain at Intrade.

Palin is odds-on favorite to win 2012 GOP nomination

Problem is with the trustworthiness of Intrade as a prediction market. - They apprear to have closed a contract on Gitmo that ran until the end of 2009 http://www.intrade.com/forum/?forum=/intradeForum/posts/list/3358.page - I would not trust Intrade with this one - they may close it on the word of MSN.

The issue you bring up isn’t about the trustworthiness of Intrade, it’s about how poorly worded that particular contract was. And it’s stated in the post that you link to: “the contract is so poorly written, that it is impossible to say exactly what will trigger expiration.” This is an acknowledged problem that Intrade seems to suffer from and they’re working on it, obviously not well enough to satisfy some members.

Suffice it to say, if Palin gets nominated the payout will be 100. There’s nothing wrong with the wording of that contract. Palin is still behind Jindal by 8 points; her nom contract is still a bargain.

Your post doesn’t make much sense. If the problem is how poorly written the contract is, then address that. If the problem is something else, address that. Your language is freeping garbled.

Your post doesn’t make much sense. - Perhaps if you read it more slowly that might help - but do feel free to throw you money away on Intrade.

***Just for you... I read it... more ... slowly... this time. Your writing... to be kind... suffers from... the dislexia that your brain promulgates... and... you could learn.... to punctuate better. If you have a problem with the wording of a different contract, that does not necessarily apply to the present contract. In fact, considering all the nomination contracts that Intrade has paid out money towards, your point is ridiculous at best, spurious and agenda-laden at worst. Note that the Gitmo is a one-off contract and the wording on such contracts would tend to be more vague because they’re breaking ground. But, that’s something you will not, cannot, did not, and do not notice because of that dislexia thing in your brain. Maybe if you took a writing class, you’d be able to express yourself more clearly. But I don’t hold out much hope for that. Thanks for letting us put our money down at Intrade, that’s so magnanimous of you. And since you agree that her contract is underpriced, I’ll hang my hat there and say that we have a common ground.

You are obviously not very bright and posting without parental supervision but I should not have broken my own rules:

1. Never give free advice to a fool

2. Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience

Keep taking your medication and learn to spell dyslexia.

Thanks for your contribution. We can all rest better now. With your advice we can spell properly, and Palin is a good bargain. Soon you’ll be aguing against that, and then you will truly be arguing with an idiot.
