Honestly... what do you think Pres. Bush has up his sleeve...
... yeah, I know... he's not the smartest guy in the world... but think about it, he has some pretty smart people working for him... he isn't where he is today for nothing...

Does he have an Ace up his sleeve? What is it?


Peace,

1. "Cunning" is more like it
Their ace up the sleeve seems to be controlling the machines (or, the software) that counts the electronic votes.

5. but think about it, we talk of a constricted "liberal" media
think how many hispanics get thier news, how many stations around the nation report news to the spanish population....it would be easy to concentrate efforts by conservatives to sway or distort information and who would report it?

7. Most fluent Spanish speakers listen to Spanish radio/TV....
and trust me, they report the real news and not the O'Reilly, Lumball made-up stuff. Spanish tv reporters, non cater to the bush and they make a point to stress the horrible stuff that bushie is pulling on the Hispanic citizens.

6. Nothing that is going to help him win.
I wish people would quit calling Rove a genius, the repubs are so boring. Thanksgiving was a kind of rough, the fake turkey helped us out and *'s numbers were down again in a matter of days. Everything they do turns to shit and wr are getting ready yearly this year.





A nice bit of statistics... consumer studies have shown that if one person says they dislike a product then they will tell lots of people. An average of ten people will adapt a negative opinion of the product even if they hadn't even tried it.

So this means start talking to people now, friends, family, coworkers, church members, whoever. If you don't know them, feel it out, use some sense, and start talking about how bad Bu$h and this administration are. I hate to sound commercial but Bush is defective, and people have to hear it over and over again, we have to drill it into them like a bad budweiser commercial.

4. Will Bush play the bioterror card?
Will Bush play the bioterror card? --by Lori R. Price (January 22, 2004)


Now, the Bush-Rove terrorists can't stage another 9-11, a new act of Bush terrorism would lend credibility to his opponents' mantra that we are not safer since Saddam Hussein was 'captured'. So, my thought here on how Bush would be able to kill multiple birds with one stone is for them to stage a biological accident. If Bush allows a bio-accident to occur, Homeland Security can force the country to go to Code Red -- John AshKKKroft's dream -- in fact, soccer moms will *clamor* for it for the safety of their children. Bush can then extend Patriot Acts I, II, with many more unpatriotic acts to follow. Rove can promote Bush's only possible way to get re-s-elected: declare that we cannot have a change in leadership as it is not the time to change horses (or, in Bush's case, horse's ass) in the middle of the stream.

9. Killing his own people, will make the rest of the world attack the US.
Edited on Tue Mar-09-04 03:06 AM by Melodybe
This will not be a replay of the holocaust. The internet is everywhere now, they can not kill millions of us with out other countries finding out.

Bush is toast, even Blair is about to turn on him.

This is a bit paranoid, it is an interesting idea that I hadn't really thought about though. Quit thinking that the Busheviks are all powerful, they are a bunch of emotionally fucked up, priorities out of whack, lying, greedy, predictable assholes. We out number them by a lot. The last four years is about to be a bad memory.

This administration is like a bad Bond villain, they talk to much about how great they are. Picture Bin Laden or Saddam as their white Persian kitty.

10. they will play ANY card they think will help them.
Believe me. They will stop at nothing.
Mark my words: There is NOTHING they will not do to get Bush a second term.
They have shown they don't give a f*** about the Constitution or the electoral system. They have no qualms about lying their asses off with a straight face, even if it means thousands die.

I honestly believe that this will be the vilest campaign in the nation's history.

HOld onto your hats. I still think Kerry will win, and then all hell will break loose.

16. up his sleeve? More likely he
will be pulling bin-laden out of his hat in or around October...

Wouldn't be surprised if they "jump the shark" and pull bin-laden out of a hat near or just after the repug convention on 9-11 instead of waiting until October

17. I expect anything
Including making a major American city glow in the dark ... if you get my drift. I mean, how else can we interpret all the media stories about "al-Qa'ida" having tactical nuclear bombs from the Ukraine?

18. To combine two comments from earlier replies ...
... I suspect there will be an "Al Qaeda" incident involving either a
dirty bomb or a biological agent but it will most likely be *outside*
the USA. A similar, near-simultaneous, attack on the continental USA
will be averted at the last minute by the heroic action of the security
forces. Put on red alert by the preceding attack in Europe, they just
manage to recognise, trap and capture/kill the (Middle Eastern Muslim)
attackers in time. Other threats will still be at large so the red
alert will have to continue for an indefinite time (while other security
enhancements are rushed through to assist the investigation).
These additional "security" changes will also serve to protect the
touchscreen strategy ("hackers" are terrorists remember), the oil-grab
strategy (environmentalists are terrorists remember) and the "Free
Speech Zones" ("dissenters" are terrorists remember).

The European attack will probably be aimed at a major British city
(London, Birmingham or Manchester) or possibly a French one (Paris).
This will achieve the dual goals of bringing "Old Europe" back into
line and solving the Blair problem (either by bullying/support or
by simple elimination).

20. trial of Saddam, "finding" Osama, but
there won't be much of a bounce.

Remember when the "found" Saddam, the bounce was negligible.

Bush is doomed, and the more they realize this, the more they'll panic and the more they'll f*** up...
