How fucking lame n/t

1. *yawn* who give's a rat's ass.

[soothsayer]

2. Eh, that's not much of a surprise, and I think they've cried wolf too

many times at this point. Unless you're saying they're going to actually set one off? In which case, wow, I'll give 'em credit for trying, but think it will backfire so to speak

3. There is no excuse for a terror threat being an "October surprise".

I don't think the Democrats have a problem of being percieved as not being able to handle terrorism anymore, but if they were, there would really be no excuse for it. There have been terror threats here and there for a few years now, and if they haven't positioned themselves to not be affected politically by a terror threat, then they need to find out why and fix it.

5. If they set off a dirty bomb

And I mean Bush/rove not al queda it would be all they need for marshall law and to shut down the election.

6. They need to stop lifitng plots from Tom Clancy novels

[thereismore]

9. Tom Clancy isn't real?

:cry:

[WillyT]

7. I Know The Raiders Suck, But Is That REALLY Oakland's Fault ???

Now if they wanna nuke Dirty Al Davis, I'm all for it!

:evilgrin:

[devilgrrl]

8. One of them is in Buffalo, NY. The only problem being that the team is...

the bomb. A STINK bomb!

10. I'm surprised they didn't throw in NASCAR tracks

while they were at it. And MallWarts. Major terrorist targets, all of 'em, ya know.

[McCamy Taylor]

11. They want to distract Olberman, a sports fan, he's doing a Special tonight

[bluedogyellowdog]

12. Let me guess,

every one of those stadiums is in a congressional district with an endangered Repug incumbant.

[elehhhhna]

13. LOL. They should have made some shit up about NASCAR.

Messed up again.

[treestar]

14. Don't see a terror threat or even a terror attack as helping

the rethugs. They can scream all they want but they've been the ones at the controls since 911 and so after their five years of "protecting" us there is another attack, they just look bad.

They're out of October surprises. What could they do that wouldn't be so obvious an attempt to retain power?

And if it were something negative, how could it help them?

They have to find Osama, that's their only card, even so, it'll be like, why did that take five years?

15. Terrror threat aimed at Repug base

brilliant Rove... just Brilliant...
