Rumor: our Oct Surprise?
Has anyone else heard this rumor: we've got some serious dirt on Rove due to be dropped on or about the 20th of October?

I've had a bigwig friend of mine mention this...I've read it at the DailyKos...and I've read it at several other blogs and websites.

I want some backup on this, dammit!

2. Then it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?
Good things come to those who wait...

7. Now see, here's the trouble...
your post is intentionally ambiguous. It implies either

1) you know something and won't tell me yet

or

2) you know no more than I do, but you thought an ambiguous post might jerk my chain.

Hell is other users... :)

3. Rove is Satan's disciple, I doubt he'll be easily brought down but
nothing would make me believe in justice than seeing him prosecuted.

4. Well, open confirmation
would kind of defeat the purpose of a Surprise, wouldn't it?

11. Properly used, rumors create speculation
...which, when properly used, help our guys to control the conversation.

"We got something on Rove. Just wait."

But as this thread proves, people just hate waiting for good dirt. Especially when it is attached to the name of so eminent a scumbag.

17. Maybe Rove really IS Mary Cheney
Have we ever seen the two of them in the same place at the same time? Hmmm? ;)

If the rumor is true about that Oct. surprise, it couldn't happen to a more deserving individual than KKKarl.

15. No October Surprise,But
A November surprise (not to us though). Nov. 2nd will be the "surprise."

P.S. With rove, it could be anything, the plame thing seems most likely imo.

19. If it is Rove...
Well, if there is an October surprise related to Karl Rove, it would have to be something involving the outing of CIA undercover operative Valerie Plame. I think H2OMan would be the one to know best. Or else, they have deduced that Rove had Bush wired for the debates?

If there is anything else, I have no idea. There is just so much out there on Bush & his administration that they make Nixon's people look like Boy Scouts: Abu Graib; threatening the Medicare actuary; the outing of Mohammed Khan to justify the recent terror alert; Cheney's office directing contracts to Halliburton; Abu Graib; no post invasion planning in Iraq; Pentagon spy scandal involving Larry Franklin (with implications it could go as high as Wolfowitz, Perle & Feith); Abu Graib; Bush family Nazi connections; etc, etc.

I am sure my list missed a lot as well.

20. yea, I've heard of an H-Bomb we have on Rove
Edited on Mon Oct-18-04 10:06 AM by Doosh
not sure if it's what you've heard.......not sure how true it is. Supposedly they've been sitting on it since July of 2001.

I'm more worried about the supposed Kerry peein on the flag video, that may appear within the sinclair documentary.

25. I doubt the 'Kerry pissing on the flag' thing.
Strikes me that if there was such a thing, it would've come up during one of his previous elections. Besides, even in his twenties, Kerry was too politically astute to pull something that incendiary.

34. Reviews of film
The thing with this is that I actually went and read a review of the film (completely because I was freaked out by this rumor). The review I read was by freakin' scary ass Kate O'Beirne, and she of course went on and on about how awful this was for Kerry because of the POW testimony, but not a WORD about the flag thing. I can't imagine that this "news" wouldn't be all over the place if people have actually seen the movie already, and they have, right?

So unless it gets dropped into the film at the last minute, I think we can rest easy on that. Hope so, anyway. I just can't picture Kerry having ever done such a thing.

30. The chimp has been "peein" on the flag for the 3+ years!
as well as sh*tin' on the Constitution.There is plenty of "video" to back that up. The other side doesn't seem to be concerned with that.

22. I Heard From An Unreliable Source...
that there's damning evidence re: Cheney's hand in the oil-for-food ripoffs. Like I say not a reliable source but I'm hoping its true, God knows Cheney is an evil, fear-mongering, war profiteering scumbag!!

24. Did Rove have a 'surprise' in 2000?
Admittedly, I didn't follow that election very closely.

26. I don't remember one...
and if you can't remember it, well then it wasn't much of a surprise. I'm sure they released some lies on gore in the waning days, none of it realyl stuck.

27. I've heard there's serious dirt on Halliburton and Cheney.
Take that as you will, but that's what I've heard.

28. This is the kind of stuff...
....that makes the last few weeks of a presidential campaign so much fun/exhausting. Up one day, down the next, polls flying every which way.

I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time. At least here in Austin, Texas I get to see a lot of KE signage.

I just hope we do have a surprise on the back burner, because I have a bad feeling that BC do.

29. Maybe that's when the Plame indictements are going to be released
Or maybe Rove will be fingered for bribery or some other serious form of misconduct, you never know. A guy like that has got to have a list of dirty deeds a mile high.
