The October Surprise is no surprise, chimp didn't do anything
didn't find Osama, didn't lower gas prices, didn't fix unemployment, didn't stop the killing in Iraq.

Once again chimp simply met our expectations as a failed, stupid, incompetent, worthless piece of shit excuse for a human being.

4. Probably on the weekend
Won't leave enough time for the Kerry camp to respond or recover.

9. Definitely
Rove is the ultimate trickster. There is no way they've used all their ammo yet. And I'm sure the Kerry team is prepared to respond quickly to whatever comes.

12. Yeh, but it's somethin' GOOD!


Could be!
Who knows?
There's something due any day;
I will know right away,
Soon as it shows.
It may come cannonballing down through the sky,
Gleam in its eye,
Bright as a rose!

Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Under a tree.
I got a feeling there's a miracle due,
Gonna come true,
Coming to me!

Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something's coming, something good,
If I can wait!
Something's coming, I don't know what it is,
But it is
Gonna be great!

With a click, with a shock,
Phone'll jingle, door'll knock,
Open the latch!
Something's coming, don't know when, but it's soon;
Catch the moon,
One-handed catch!

Around the corner,
Or whistling down the river,
Come on, deliver
To me!
Will it be? Yes, it will.
Maybe just by holding still,
It'll be there!

Come on, something, come on in, don't be shy,
Meet a guy,
Pull up a chair!
The air is humming,
And something great is coming!
Who knows?
It's only just out of reach,
Down the block, on a beach,
Maybe tonight . . .
:kick: :dem: :dem:

13. Nope, It's all just exactly the way it looks. They have nothing
They have never had anything but the pretext and show surrounding 9/11 as a smoke screen. It's Wizard of OZ time.

2. Maybe they aren't smart enough to steal an election after all.
This is going to fun and nerve wracking to watch.

7. Impossible, just like planting WMD
too many people would have to know, somebody would have "told" by now.

6. I say they are going to claim they caught or killed Osama -
when it is too late for anyone to disprove.

20. I think it might be too late already.
I don't know what the media filtration time is considered to be, but I think that the 2000 DUI flap is a pretty good example of a surprise unveiled a little too late.

However, I do notice a phenomenon. It looks like every investigative reporter in the U.S. had a deadline within the past two weeks; hence the avalanche of bad news for Bush. Reporters being what they are (I know a couple), we can expect a high volume of stragglers throughout the week.

The "October Surprise," such as it is, may be the press of a truckload of feathers, as every lightweight news outlet unleashes its one or two independent stories, all of which add up to what we here already know: that this is the most criminally incompetent administration in modern times.

Whatever Karl has left up his straightjacket-long sleeves may be muffled by a feather-bed's worth of bad news.

Or, the press could continue to be the amoral lapdogs they have generally proven themselves to be in the past four years.

14. Once again, let's not be overconfident..
5 days (120 hours) to go, Rove & evil republicans still have enough time to formula the ideas & dirty tricks to screw Kerry & America up.

17. I don't remember one from 2000. Am I wrong?
I remember the one about george and his teensy-weensy DUI charge, but no anti-Gore surprise. Am I forgetting something?

18. Not at all. These guys are absolutely predictable and linear
The strategy is was simple minded, use the rw congress to box Kerry in to votes that he would regret later, use 9/11 and Iraq as the showpiece, use Kerry's opposition to the Vietnam War against him. And in the end if all that fails, paint him as a tax and spend liberal.
In essence this is all they have done and it's all they can do. Anything else would have been exposed through leaks long ago.

19. October Surprise: Teresa stole the 380 tons of explosives!!!
What's sad is that there are people out there (about 35% of the population) who would actually believe that.

"It must be true! The pretty lady on Fox News said so."

23. Yes, and she's created 3 million doses of flu vaccine from it, homeopathic
stuff.

24. With the remainder, she has created a "dirty bomb" that...
...when detonated, will turn all loving married couples within a 300 mile radius into instant homosexuals, while spontaneously aborting all fetuses within the same location, destroying churches, and disintegrating Bibles.

26. LOL. Don't forget that it will also turn Mary Cheney into a 60 foot
creature named GAYDAR, which will crash through resort towns in search of beer.

22. He doesn't WANNA be Pretzledent anymore.
I think what did it was Kerry making fun of him saying it's "hard work", and saying that he would be happy to relieve him of all that "hard work".

He's given up, I think.

25. I wouldn't bet on that - and personally wouldn't bet on this thread
They are much more sinister than we give them credit for.

I'm looking for an attack on Iran this coming week/weekend - either way, they goad Iran into attacking or we (with Israel) attack.

And then there is always another terrorist attack they'd pull out. Although I don't know how that would play in Peoria since Bush/Cheney, Rice, et al have all been out campaigning instead of oh, I don't know - PROTECTING AMERICA?????

28. I have more faith in the American people than that. Furthermore,
if there is a terra attack, who is going to stay home cowering by the cable teevee, and who is going to get out and vote? The repukes will be afraid to go to the polls.
