If there really were going to be an October "surprise" |
|
why would they be announcing it, or even dropping hints? After all, assuming the thugs have the good of the country in mind (wink, wink), that would put OBL and other terrorists on their guard.
Sounds like pure propagandistic fear mongering to discourage, deflate, intimidate (etc.) Democrats, imho.

1. There's ALWAYS an October Surprise. |
|
And while the Dems wait for it to react, they're not on the offensive to prove they have plans of their own.

3. The Democrats are in a catch 22.... |
|
I think the Democrats have some good ideas but we don't hear much about them because of their minority status and the media and IF they were to come out with something really spectacular, especially if they did this too early, the repukes would just spin it into their philosophy. imho

As usual we won't figure out what hit us until November.

5. If there isn't an "October Surprise", there might just be a |
|
"November retaliation" ... remember all those Republicans who seem to have a direct line into the terrorists, saying "If you elect " Dem X (2004, it was Kerry) ", this country will be hit!"?

6. So you really think that if they announce in September |
|
that they're going after OBL in Pakistan this October, that he won't be long gone by the time they carry out their "surprise" mission?
Personally, I believe OBL died years ago of kidney failure, they know it, and the oh so strategically timed tapes of his are pure made up propaganda.
