BBV:"One of the terrorists' top goals may be to
manipulate this fall's presidential elections... according to U.S. officials."

So that is how they plan on winning the election...Say the terrorists must have manipulated it...Go to the SCOUTS and get the results nullified. No paper ballot...no proof.

Nice and easy.

1. They've "set it up" in the Media. Public is awar...then they just "DO IT"
and they have their "Cover." Hate to see this...but we did know it was coming. "We" :D Yes....WE...knew, and know. :-(

2. Perhaps we should do something about it. . . ?

3. That whole angle is making me nuts!!
They aren't saying WHO these "US officials" are -- the ones expressing "concern."

They aren't saying whether this "concern" is based on any intelligence, or just a hunch.

They aren't saying in which way, how, or why terrorists would want to affect our elections. They're just kind of floating it out there, to make use of later.

If there's an attack, a vote for Kerry is a vote for the terrorists -- it's just like Spain!

If there's no attack, the Chimp has kept us safe!

If Kerry stays ahead, as you point out, the terrorists have manipulated the election!

If the Chimp, God forbid, wins... well, I can't even think about that.

4. One more angle
Someone else suggested this one: if Kerry stays ahead in polls, but there's an attack or a major threat right before the election, Bush can mysteriously "win" (BBV) and it'll be attributed to the "We won't let the terrorists influence our election!" emotion.

5. We need to cogently make the argument that the terrorists are pro Bush.
He's been a better marketing tool than they dreamed possible.

He turns a blind eye by while Pakistan pays off the 9/11 ringleader.

He's too cozy with the Saudi's, where most terrorists originate.

If I was a terrorist, I'd want Bush in the White House instead of John Kerry.

6. No thats how they play to postpone the election indefinitely...
for reasons of National Security. I'm confident the SCrOTUS will give their blessing. I smelled this coming along time ago.

Bush is Fubar

7. Hmmmmmmm.
Interesting, very interesting. Also scary, and plausible.

I've never believed that they would let go, that one way or another something will derail the election.

8. Asscrack just about said
that if the American people vote for Kerry instead of Bu$h, it's because the terrorists influenced the election.

These shitheads sure have some twisted logic.

9. Same argument the Aznar people used in Spain....
...after the Madrid bombings. The Spanish people think that is a crock of you-know-what.
