That's right kiddies, it's election time (also known as "terra, terra, terra time") in the good ole U S of A.

I wondered when we'd hear about DHS rolling out new terror warnings to scare us away from the Democratic Nominee.

1. Outside of the 20-some percent that still support Bush -

does anyone pay attention to DHS warnings?

[bdamomma]

2. they have nothing else so why not do the insane over and over again

and except a different outcome.

3. Well it worked pretty well last time!

Where's that article about the affect of fear on people's thinking...

4. "Heightened bullshit alert"

n/t

5. The fix is coming.

6. I find it rather curious that we have never dipped into blue or green

but we have gone up to orange.

7. I wonder if they will wait

until after the Democratic convention to establish martial law.

8. Time to drag out the fucking duct tape and the paper bags again!

9. I forgot about them, to be honest

But considering that all I've heard is about how they are NOT spending money to fix problems, it's hard for me to think of them as relevant in this regard.

10. Martial Law - The October Surprise

And then a coup d'état led by Hagel.

:sarcasm:

A CIA coup?

11. Their game plan is to use dirty to keep the race within 7-8 points.

They'll try to shift half of that number by fomenting terror fear, and they'll try to steal the other half, laying down suppressive fire in the form of months of talk about how it's too close to call, and chattering about how Obama is too exotic for many mainstream Americans.

12. And people wondered why Obama had no choice but to vote for FISA

I guarantee you, had Obama not voted in favor of FISA, the "importance of our new surveillance laws" would eb the number one play throughout the rest of the election sycle.

13. I think rather than fearing it the DHS can't wait to begin

Raising the fear to orange to red and back to orange again.

It would better to use this scare color chart alert to reflect the economy.

It reminds me of one of those stick on fish tank thermometers with the colors , and we as the fish all staring at the damn thing just before we rise to the top for oxygen.

14. DHS dont fear it. They create it.

Department of Homeland Security
"Security" isnt their product.
Their job is to create Insecurity.
On demand.

15. i've been on dismantling gov heightened alert since 2000

16. As punctual as a Swiss railroad!

Right on time. Just like in 2004. More fodder for Keith Olberman. Sic 'em, Keith!
