Maybe I'm a little paranoid but I fear that it gives the Republicans, like that sneaky TurdBlossom, an opportunity for one of those surprise insurgent attacks to happen!!

Keep in mind that only the liberals get rubbed out.

You see it in the movies all the time.....

As in... "beware the ides of March" from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar
...Will the Obama campaign people not provide and insist on proper security for their candidate?

1. OR for them to take him into a tent and show him the super awesome thing.
That made my representitive Baird turn against his completely anti-war constituency and start supporting the war after he went. Normal people never get to see the super awesome thing, however.

2. You know, that happened to Lisa Murkowski, too.
Before her Iraq trip she was raising some doubts about the war, somewhat surprising for a Republican, but upon her return, she was solidly back in the pro-war camp.

3. "You see it in the movies all the time...." Yeah, and the apocalypse is depicted
all of the time too. I have yet to be killed by zombies, sucked through black hole into a satanic dimension, struck by an asteroid, or see the world devolve into a chaotic mess of motorcycle gangs.

6. I've actually been thinking about that, too! A lot...
Call me paranoid. I don't care. Just because one is paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't after you... LOL!!

16. I thought that may have been what Sen. Obama's emergency
landing in St. Louis a couple of weeks ago was about. Maybe a threat was made against him or his family and they grounded his jet til things could be checked out........coulda happened that way.

7. Paranoia strikes deep...
Obama going full blown pro-war would do serious harm to his campaign. He isn't stupid.

8. no offense...but Obama's 'danger zone' is everywhere...
and even the neos (well, the bright ones, anyway) know that things are too close to the edge on many fronts for them to foment that type of 'situation'...

the last thing the 'right' wants is a return to people finally hitting the streets to voice their opinion of the state of the union ala the 60's/70's...

anything might happen, but daily concerned warnings have absolutely nothing to do with the reality on the ground (so to speak)...

nobody is in a position to 'let' something happen to Obama...

10. My theory is that they are hoping for a Dukakis-like photo-gaffe.
