Poll question: Imagine Bush in the Rose Garden Saying with a Grin "WE GOT 'EM" (Osama)
Edited on Sat Oct-16-04 11:33 AM by seventhson
Imagine Bush in the Rose Garden Saying with a Grin "WE GOT 'EM"


I TOLD you "He Can run but he can't hide!"

The message being that neither can Kerry and that Bush's words have value and strength

I think it is major foreshadowing that Bush used this meme.

Two birds with one stone, etc.

"I TOLD you we'd get 'em and I HAD to be quiet about it so we COULD get 'em. You don't TELL the terrorists who are WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE" That you are on their trail. Heh. Heheheh!"


I can see the Monday morning headlines now on November 1, 2004.

And on the back pages: Democrats cry FOUL! in small print.

(There is a report out there that Osama is being turned over to Bush by the Chinese from Muslim Province near Pakistan where he has been protected by the Chinese due to secret deals with Bush for his reelection - the OCTOBER SURPRISE) See: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=1083922&mesg_id=1083922


DO YOU BELIEVE IT IS POSSIBLE OR LIKELY THAT OSAMA WILL BE PERP WALKED BY THE BFEE BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER 1, 2004?

3. Osama is not a flu shot.
If George wants to be a hero, the "we got 'em" will refer to doses of flu vaccine. See, when he kept saying Osama wasn't important, Osama lost importance. If he's caught, no one will give a shit. We'll be too busy watching our children and grandparents die of flu.

6. I did not vote - but the REASON for posting this poll and link is to ...
innoculate against such a trick.

Whether or not you believe it is likely or possible that OBL will be produced by the BFEE dead or alive the important thing from my perspective is to make SURE that as many people as possible have heard the words OCTOBER SURPRISE in the same breath as OSAMA CAPTURED or FOUND DEAD.

This is the process of innoculation mastered by Rove in the "Fortunate Son" Bush cocaine story and others - like Kitty Kelley and the 60 minutes fiasco.

IF we can at least convince people that an Osama "find" is a planned Busdh political operation (an OCTOBER SURPRISE) then MAYBE such a move can be preempted on the part of the BFEE.

If too many people believe it is at least POSSIBLE then the surprise factor or innoculation will not work to help Bush and WILL backlash.

On the other hand it would be a close call in any event.

If we shout the meme over and over and talk about it, then IF it happens, people will think it political.

But if we DISMISS the possibility then it helps Bush because IF it happens it will NOT backfire.

Am I clear on this.

This IS my life. It is OUR lives. My Kids' lives.

So I try in my own way.

9. I disagree
That the use of "He Can Run but He Can't Hide" has any foreshadowing. I think it was more to plant the idea in the minds' of people that Kerry is just as frightening as Osama.

Kerry did a great job of turning that against him in the third debate (well the first and second one as well). B* just looks like a little kid who's having a temper tantrum.

10. IMAGINE KERRY IN THE ROSE GARDEN!
THIS IS A MAILING I RECIEVED AND WANT TO PASS IT ON TO THOSE WHO CARE.
Dear friends,
With only few weeks before the Presidential election, I  feel
compelled to share this idea. I am an author, activist, and
former science writer.  I enjoy the intersection of physics
and culture - never more obvious than this fall.  And what
today's most sage scientists are saying is that when we
focus on something, we attract more of it.

So with only six weeks left, we need to focus on what we really,
really want. Let's join together in the 60 Seconds a Day for
6  Weeks Campaign.  

To turn the tide now, we need to do something unstoppable.
We need a critical mass of us to stop railing against what is
and reach for what we want. What do we want?  We want John
Kerry as our next President.

Give up focusing on George Bush. We don't have to agree with
him or support him in any fashion.  Instead, we have to turn
our thoughts now to something greater. We have to do
something unstoppable.

In the legacy of Einstein and all great thinkers, we have  to
harness the power of our thoughts to get the outcome we
desire in November. If only 3 percent of the U.S. population
takes 60 seconds to do this exercise every day, we can make
a massive difference.

This is how it works: for 60 seconds each day visualize John Kerry
elected as our next President of the United States. See the
celebrations and excitement  and sense of fulfillment all across
America.

See yourself rejoicing with people in your home, neighborhood,
and workplace. See us all rejoicing with people all over the world!

See John Kerry being sworn into office. Feel the hope, joy and  
gratitude. Feel it in your hearts. Believe it is possible. And be
sure to vote!   

Now, imagine John Kerry restoring greater wellbeing in America.
See people  streaming back to work. See young children getting
the support they need.  Visualize our teachers, police officers,
single mothers,  the mentally ill, and  many others getting the
help they deserve.

See our soldiers coming home to their  families.

Imagine our leaders establishing greater trust and good will
with  other nations. See peace spreading across the world.
See the Iraq conflict  ending.

Feel how good it will be for the environment to be protected
and renewed. See hope rising across the world in the hearts
and souls of all of us.  See these pictures in your mind for 60
seconds every day between now and  November.

Be grateful that you have the gift of participating in shaping
a greater country. Be grateful that you care. Believe that all
this is possible - and more!

And be sure to vote!

13. What if Kerry's people have Osama on ice somewhere?
Imagine the capture of Osama announced on the day of Kerry's inauguration. As long as we're using our imaginations.

16. Now, this idea is a nice change of pace! Visualize KERRY as

the man who brings Osama to justice,

the leader of the free world,

the man holding articulate, informative press conferences in the Rose Garden,

the president giving an inspiring State of the Union address,

the man taking action to solve the health care problems that plague this country,

the chief executive with millions saving Social Security for the millions,

the man putting money behind No Child Left Behind,

the Commander in Chief working to stabilize Iraq and bring our troops home.

14. I don't think "they" will get Osama by Nov. 2
I just don't think it's going to happen.

Even if it does, I don't see it really helping Shrub all that much although the REPUKES will probably declare Shrub a saint if bin Laden is caught.

17. Well... we will see
Edited on Sat Oct-16-04 08:56 PM by seventhson
My job is to try and make it LESS likely that it happens by posting this and to make sure that as many people know about "the surprise" if it DOES happen so that its effect is damaged electorally.


Goebbells called the Reichstag Fire the Nazis overwhelming "electoral bomb".

This tactic is as old as Prescott Bush and Hitler.

SOMETHING is going to happen you can bet your boots.

In 2000 it was the Bush-Sharon scuttling of the peace deal with Arafat (Arafat was ready to agree but the Bushies convinced Israel negotiators (who made a special trip to Texas to meet Bush)that they would get better deal if they scuttled the talks by upping the ante to where ARAFAT could not accept the deal and killing Gore's presidential hopes)

SOMETHING is going to happen, I am afraid, to try to sway the electorate.
