So what's Kerry's October surprise ... coming tomorrow?

[mzmolly]

Bransonfu - posted a thread about a Kerry surprise coming tomorrow, ... I want a clue damnit! :P

[Cush]

1. heh, was going to post something similar

[mzmolly]

2. nah nah nah nah nah.

;)

I am wondering if Kerry's speech has something to do with it?

[sonicx]

3. Kerry better have evidence!

the press will spin like nuts to soften the blow to Bush.

[Beetwasher]

4. He's Giving a Major Policy Speech

I suspect he'll level some charges at the admin about suppressing the new CIA 9/11 report as was reported in the LA Times today...

[wishlist]

10. He will demand release of the CIA 9/11 report covered up since June

Bush & Co have cynically tried to stonewall, stall and cover up this damaging report until after the election since it blows away the phony Bush/Cheney claims of how much better than can protect us. I hope this disgraceful coverup will be front and center in the news for the next 2 weeks.

Give 'em hell Kerry!

[Dookus]

5. I hear

he's gonna announce Mary Cheney is a lesbian :)

[movonne]

7. Thanks for the laugh

[txindy]

16. What? She is?!

ROFL! ;)

[Doohickie]

6. Two words:

Plame.

Indictments.

[Dookus]

8. Sorry

but the Kerry campaign has no control over such a thing.

[sonicx]

9. maybe that's the surprise

:P

[naufragus]

12. oh really

politics is a wonderful thing.

[Dookus]

15. If the prosecutor in the case

is colluding with the Kerry campaign, it would endanger any possible indictments.

[KharmaTrain]

34. Sorry, Fitzgerald's A Repugnican

In '98, they withheld revelations of investigations into George Ryan's office until AFTER the election...the information was kept out of the public by Fitzgerald and other Repugnican prosecutors at the time...that could have altered that election.

In hindsight, I'm glad things worked out the way they did. Ryan put a halt to the death penalty, tightened gun laws, went to Cuba and caved on O'Hare expansion. I called him the best Democratic governor in my lifetime.

They dragged Rove in to testify a week ago...didn't seem to get a peep on the news shows.

Sadly, the Plame matter is too complex to have any real affect on this election. However, if this regime somehow steals another 4 years, then this could be the start of another Watergate/Iran-Contra.

[Doohickie]

13. Who said Kerry was actually in CONTROL

of the October Surprise???

Seriously: There is a big difference between controlling it and merely having knowledge of it.

[Dookus]

14. well I don't know

how a campaign can possibly rely on external events totally beyond their control for an "october surprise"

[Doohickie]

20. Look at it this way:

Let's say someone in the CIA has told Kerry what's going on and when it will be announced. Why should he talk about it? Why should he even acknowledge it? Yet, nevertheless, he will know with certainty it's coming so he knows he doesn't have to get too ugly with Bush. He knows someone else will take care of that for him.

Kerry doesn't live in a vaccuum; he probably has some insight into what's going down.

That doesn't mean he controls it, but he would be stupid not to use it to his advantage.

Just watch and learn.

[John_H]

22. Exactly. Kerry should profess shock. disgust, and outrage if this is it.

[Dookus]

23. The CIA probably

doesn't have any clue, either. This is in the hands of a Grand Jury. There's simply no way to "schedule" something like this.

[shockingelk]

37. 2 words: Rand Beers

[RobertDevereaux]

11. That would be telling!

[txindy]

17. I'd like to see the CIA report released, myself.

I'm sure it will exonerate Junior and Co. completely. :eyes: I even managed to type that with a straight face. I'm so proud! ;)

[Bucky]

18. I'm proud of you too.

I know there's this Bushies vs CIA feud going on. I'm a little surprised at how the Bushies seem to have been winning most of the squabbles with the spooks, however. I guess bureaucrats are better at the waiting game.

[Lilli]

19. Timing is everything n/t

[exliontamer]

21. Two Words

Bill Clinton

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6285885/

[bush equals idiot]

27. I heard the JJ camp was sitting on something big

but I didn't hear any specific date.

As for Clinton, I KNEW it would happen!!



Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Auntie Bush]

24. BILL CLINTON is the October surprise! n/t

[DjTj]

25. Two Words

Red Sox

[ribrepin]

26. Iran just came out swinging for Junior

I'll bet that's one endorsement Chimp doesn't want. Terrorist for Bush. Heh Heh

Hard to know how Kerry will top that.:party:

28. CIA 9/11 Report Exposes Bush Admin - Link

http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/102004V.shtml

The 9/11 Secret in the CIA's Back Pocket
By Robert Scheer
The Los Angeles Times

Tuesday 19 October 2004

The agency is withholding a damning report that points at senior officials.

It is shocking: The Bush administration is suppressing a CIA report on 9/11 until after the election, and this one names names. Although the report by the inspector general's office of the CIA was completed in June, it has not been made available to the congressional intelligence committees that mandated the study almost two years ago.

...full story at above link....

31. 295 NOW!

eom

[naufragus]

32. Can i make a suggestion....

no one gives a rat's ass about those online petitions.

it would be better to flood congress with faxes and calls.

many are also in their home states. some even out campaigning and can be put onthe spot publically.

lol -- do you really think those petitions are for real.

[NAO]

33. Online Petitions, Online Polls - Very Low Time Cost - Can't Lose

Online petitions and online polls have an EXTREMELY LOW TIME COST. This one takes about 15 seconds.

Provided the sponsor turns it in, it serves to show the networks that there is real interest in this story. The more signatories there are, the more effective it is.

It WOULD be better to flood congress with faxes and calls...but that would take significantly more time and effort. If you are up for it, go for it. But anyone can take 15 seconds and sign this thing. It might help, and it is very easy to do.

[kimchi]

36. 361 now. n/t

[blueblitzkrieg]

30. Do you have a link to Bransonfu's thread by chance?

I can't seem to find it and I don't have the search function.

[mzmolly]

44. No, I tried to locate it and couldnt. I recall the name Chalabi?

And, I think there was reference to 911 ?

Perhaps it is the CIA report, but unless America knows the content, it doesn't matter.

[Norquist Nemesis]

35. What time is the speech tomorrow? n/t

[0rganism]

38. Here's the link

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=1040095

I'm pretty sure, given what we've seen today, that it's the CIA report.

[mzmolly]

39. Ahhh.

Thanks.

[wicket]

40. please let it be that....

If the CIA report comes out before the election, Bush is even bigger toast than he already is!

[mzmolly]

42. What's in this report?

:shrug:

[Randi_Listener]

41. What is it now?

Was it discussed yet?

[tomfodw]

43. So - what was it?

He delivered a major speech in Iowa this morning - did he drop any bombs? Or is he saving them for his speeches in Ohio and/or Pennsylvania?
