1. I was thinking/talking about this just today.
Osama/Al Z coming out of dry ice would be a bit dicey at this point. Even the dumbest voters would be at least a bit suspicious on the timing.

I still wouldn't rule it out but I'm starting to not expect an Oct surprise aside from voter supression and fraud.

2. Thr righties now plan to claim...
...that the Kerry campaign is being "finance by terrorists" at least that is what I have seen on the Web.

But there is absolutely NO CHANCE that Kerry ever solicited money from terrorists or knowingly accepted even a dime of illegal money.

6. yes from what I have been able to glean
supposedly Kerry is taking money from Tehran and selling the US out to bands of islamic terrorists, and has been for years. What a hoot!

10. I read it over
in freeperland. Gossip about shadowy meetings, suitcases of cash, and zero basis in reality.

It's up there with the steady stream of bullshit including the vince foster 'murder', 'Hillary's running for President in 2004', and 'the UN wants to take over the world'.

13. It is on a A Pro-Milosevic Site! and you are right, Freepers are posting
this around the net as 'Proof.'

I doubt that a Pro-Milosevic conspiracy theory is gonna get much traction beyond the freeper world.

14. Wow, we've got the whole mix
Islamic terrorists, OBL himself, drug lords, the Albanian mafia, pimps, weapons traders, and a bad guy named "snake" who holds off fighting in Kosovo long enough to attend Democratic fundraisers!

Thanks for the laugh!

16. I heard
that Kerry eats babies for lunch! And Teresa moonlights as a porn star! And Edwards is a transsexual! It's true! Just visit Matt Drudge's site!

19. GOP Fundraiser Katrina Leung Was A Chinese Spy
who also was fucking the FBI agent who dogged Al Gore.

If the GOP starts this shit remember the name Katrina Leung... it happened last March (I believe) and promptly fell down Memoryhole.

She was a BIG WHEEL in GOP circles.

3. The only "October Surprises" left are BIG ones...
Like the kind that kill thousands of people. Not a happy thought. I'm hoping that they're not THAT insane, but not seeing a whole lot of evidence to back up that hope.

5. An attack like 9/11
would show this administration for the boobs they are. How could chimpy make us feel safe with 2 attacks on the US during his watch?

8. An attack on someone *else*, however
would be a different kettle of fish altogether. I'd say there are a shitload of VERY nervous Iranians this week...

12. Yeah but
I don't know if that would win over mainstream repugs. They're tired of this eternal war as much as anyone.

17. I have a friend who thinks it'll happen
late enough that we can't deconstruct it/blow it apart/debunk it. Like October 31st or November 1st.

Dunno, but my gut tells me there ISN'T an October surprise from the evil bushies.

18. Here's one thing you can count on:
Edited on Sat Oct-23-04 10:32 PM by Minstrel Boy
the terror alert will be raised shortly before e-day.

That's been good for a lift of several points for Bush.

But since we know it's coming, I guess that's not a surprise.

20. Maybe they're so confident
they'll control the election that they don't need an October Surprise.
