My God. The perfect storm. It's actually happening

[RummyTheDummy]

We have oil at an all time high. We have continued unrest in Iraq, with a major series of explosions in downtown Baghdad just today. Poor performacnes by Bush and Cheney in the debates. Kerry gathering major momentum heading down the stretch.

How can BushCo. survive this?

[Virginian]

1. BBV - They can cheat

[RummyTheDummy]

4. This keeps up for three more weeks

And they won't be able to cheat. It won't be close enough.

[Syncronaut Seven]

20. They'll be hell to pay

If the bbv vote comes back significantly different from the paper ballots. Nationwide I wouldn't expect more than a 1/4 point deviance between the two.

It's looking like they'll have to make up quite a few points at this time. Hopefully the cheating will be obvious, though, being obvious about it didn't seem to have much effect in 2000 and 2002.

29. October Surprise!

Don't discount the October surprise. Its coming...just you wait!

Osama in chains? Pictures of Kerry in drag? A public horse whipping of Saddam?

I keep lookin over my shoulder cuz I know they got some sort of dirty trick up their sleeve!

[andino]

36. They could postpone elections....

[Booster]

2. By stealing the election.

[flyingfysh]

3. how can BushCO survive?

by massive theft and fraud. Look for all kinds of attempts to steal the election.

[skylarmae]

5. Bite your tongue - don't tempt fate

[JHB]

6. The show ain't over til the fat lady sings...

and she ain't sung yet.

[fujiyama]

37. or

until candy crowley cries...

[joefree1]

7. They could go live on a island and pretend

The world doesn't loathe them.

8. Rove

I'm sure that Karl Rove is working his fevered little brain on that very subject right now. He's thinking of how he can pull Osama bin Laden out of his ass, or Photoshop pictures of John Kerry sodomizing a cocker spaniel, or even show John Edwards flattening down the shark-like dorsal fin that he mysteriously sprouted some time around when he graduated from law school. He might even be arranging huge shipments of fissile material to Baghdad, to be "discovered" some time around Halloween.

But, he is thinking about it.

[skygazer]

28. I've wondered about that

<He might even be arranging huge shipments of fissile material to Baghdad, to be "discovered" some time around Halloween.>

It actually surprises me that this hasn't been done or something similar.

[andyhappy]

33. no kidding

Why haven't they planted WMD's?

1. They are still thinking they will find them?

2. They are too honest? (ummm...I dont think so)

3. They are worried that they will not be able to pull it off and that getting caught will send the GOP into a tailspin that will last for a generation ...man, wouldn't that be great?

[democrat_patriot]

9. It only takes one major event in favor of Dumbya.

26 days!!! Keep up the good work, and NEVER let up.

Alot can happen in 3 1/2 weeks!!

[noiretextatique]

10. "it's not our fault" seems to be their strategy

saddam tricked us into thinking he had WMDs, or he tricked us into thinking he might get them if sanctions were lifted,...or something like that (whatever sticks) :crazy:

[Inland]

17. Its going well AND its not our fault AND Kerry would screwed it up too

Layers and layers of lies, dodging, and spin, all inconsistent and showing up in the same Bush speech! Its going great BUT not our fault AND Kerry can't fix it either! Go figure!

[noiretextatique]

27. so true...layers of lies

that's a great talking point!

[jaysunb]

21. Well....

As the saying goes..." you can fool some of the people some of the time...but some of us don't do bullshit anytime "

that is an old saying ain't it ?
:hi:

[noiretextatique]

24. fool me once, shame on you

fool me twice...throw my ass outta the white house...so you don't get fooled again :hi: that's a new saying :7

[amber dog democrat]

11. by stealing it

However I don't believe it will work this time. If they try it it won't pass scrutiney - but the black box voting machines have me very concerned.

Would GOP operarives sabotage the election if they think they will lose ?
I think they will if they can get by with it. Isnt it time for our first martial law RED alert?

[Neshanic]

12. Shark attacks and a young white newlywed missing should do.

[Virginian]

35. Shark attacks pregnant young white newlywed - Husband suspect.

That should take the press attention off the Prez for a while.

[realFedUp]

13. Osama bin Laden wants him to survive and be re-selected

was just listening to an interview on
democracy now.org...an interviewee said
that bin Laden had stopped any orders
for a terrorist attack before our elections.

Said it would isolate America even more.

[Ravenseye]

14. I'm just surprised N. Korea hasn't taken advantage of this...

...seems like it'd be a perfect time, with our military stretched, the economy on dangerous ground, etc...To attack and invade South Korea. Maybe they're waiting for us to remove more of our Troops like Bush said we were going to do.

What are the odds that they wait for us to remove the troops we said we would and then they attack?

[proud patriot]

15. They can not survive and they will take the entire republican party

DOWN WITH THEM

please read sigline

[RummyTheDummy]

16. I guess I'm maybe a little too optimistic

Clearly nobody feels that same sense. But I have a deep, gut feeling that we will win this thing. I've never been more confident. And my record with "hunches" is pretty damned good.

We shall see. God Damn, I love politics.

[Lorien]

18. How have they survived any of this? The lapdog media

BBV, as noted, will also be a major factor.

[GoSolar]

19. I always think that...

but somehow they DO seem to survive, despite all the awful news.
It's as if people aren't paying attenting, or are so interested in single issues, such as tax cuts, that nothing else matters...

[tom_paine]

22. Voter intimidation, voter fraud, Diebold haclers with the codes

Amnd a multi-billion dollar Propaganda Infrastructure and Lie Laundry that would have made Goebbels green with envy at it's subtlety and capabilities (what else have the PR/marketing/profesional liar section been working towards...indirectly if not directly...for the past 60 years).

How did Hitler survive until the world brought him to bay (which most definitely will NOT happen here in Amerika, and I'm not even sure I'd want that)

[mzmolly]

23. They can survive because "we can't change horses in the middle of a race?"

:eyes:

[Lars39]

25. My fear is that all the newly registered voters will not

get their cards back in time and will not know where to vote. Isn't there a website that might help with this information? I thought someone had posted one before, but I didn't bookmark it.

[leftofthedial]

26. 2000 was a COUP!

not a botched election.

the bushgang oligarchy won't let a trivial event like an election remove them from power.

BBV, vote fraud, intimidation, outright violent implementation of martial law . . . whatever it takes, they do not intend to lose power and they do not intend to subject themselves to the random tyranny of a proletariat democratic process.

[vetwife]

38. E X A C T L Y !!!!!!!!! You hit the nail on the head !

[ArkDem]

This election is OVER!

[ArkDem]

30. This election is OVER!

[killbotfactory]

31. More like the perfect shit storm

All the goddamn damage these assholes have caused... it blows your mind.

[onecent]

32. Our media will take care of it.

They always do for the horrid little man.

[rniel]

34. It's October

The next Karl Rove trick out of the bag is coming soon I'm sure.

[sr_pacifica]

39. I'm with you on the optimism

But I'm also feeling cautious, aware that BushCo. will stop at nothing to remain in power.
