Karl Rove Promises October Surprise
Newsmax ^ | Sept. 21, 2006 | Ronald Kessler


WASHINGTON -- In the past week, Karl Rove has been promising Republican insiders an "October surprise" to help win the November congressional elections.

President Bush's political strategist is also saying that the final two weeks before the elections will see a blitz of advertising, and the Republican National Committee is deploying an army of volunteers to key locations to help the grass-roots effort and monitor the elections.

The RNC is offering to fly in volunteers and cover their expenses.
...
As for the October Surprise, Rove said, "I'd rather let the balance unroll on its own."

1. Anyone NOT expecting an October Suprise...

...needs to head over to Frank's Bridge and Camel Emporium

[liberaldemocrat7]

7. KKKarl Rove a loathsome person who politically assassinates people.

.

[tenshi816]

36. Yes he is.

It's the only thing that makes me wish I believed in hell so I could fantasize about him ending up there one day.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

2. yikes

don't like the sound of that.
is kkkarl threatening us?
should i buy duct tape and reynolds wrap now and get ready to shelter-in-place?

[Erika]

6. I thought that was Cheney's idea for protection against

Saddam's WMD's? Maybe it's generic among the republicans.

[Erika]

3. Karl, the Pillsbury plump dough boy

A pun. I think the GOP should keep the mess they made in their gear for another two years. Let em have it.

America is on a nose dive in every way. Let the GOP and their supporters ram it into the ground. Sometimes it takes hitting bottom before you climb up.

[Drum]

4. I've gotta agree w/your conclusion there.

[Erika]

8. Let the stupid freepers reap what they've sown n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. If it were only them getting reaped, I'd agree. However, that's not

the case.

[elehhhhna]

29. oh no you didn't. no logic allowed!

[razors edge]

10. why take the reins

after bush drove the gravy train over the cliff?

[Erika]

14. Just let the GOP know what they have done to this country

when they had control of D.C. Let them live with it.

[elehhhhna]

31. We cannot cut & run from our own Nation. They can think about their

crimes all day, every day once they're in prison.

[eleny]

5. "monitor the elections"

so they'll be at the polls challenging voters to slow down the lines and discouraging people form staying and voting.

i'm so glad we can vote by mail here in colorado and that it's actually encouraged. no harassment and at least there's some sort of paper trail.

[brettdale]

9. October Surpise

Karl Rove will have something planned

Bin Laden death or capture????

Weapons of mass destructiion found.

The media will do thier part.

[Erika]

12. Again, let the GOP reap what they sow

If KKKarl comes up with some surprise, the country will be hurting even more 90 days after the election.

[countmyvote4real]

16. Whatever the surprise, MSM will get an advance EPK. n/t

[orleans]

18. that's what i keep thinking--kkkarl will pull osama out of his ASS! n/t

[tavalon]

21. or, rather, the deep freeze........

[orleans]

25. no, actually i'm betting he pulls him out of his ass.

i think it's a trick he learned back in college.

[az chela]

11. Lets hope the pig drops dead and is roasted???

[Erika]

13. His soul died a long time ago n/t

[janx]

15. The RW propaganda machine is desperately trying to keep

their flock upbeat.

And look at this part:

But, Mehlman said, "I believe that the combination of the relatively narrow playing field, the relatively strong financial position our folks are in and the national party is in, the good turnout operation that we have, the motivation of our base, and the lack of motivation of their base as indicated by turnout in a number of recent Democrat primaries," will do the trick.

Turnout at Dem primaries equals turnout at the task of ridding Congress with as many of these RW crooks as possible?

How that that equation be made? :rofl:

[maine_raptor]

28. Two Words: Electronic Voting nt

[elehhhhna]

34. 2 more: poll watcher ...

If I can get off my butt & do it, anybody can. Call your local Dem cand's office & sign up.

It's one day out of your life. They'll train you. If folks are on DU whining about E-voting on election day, shame on everybody.

[maine_raptor]

47. Already do that.

But here we use paper (scanned) ballots and everybody knows everybody. We may not, in total, have many voters in this neck of the woods, but we all (R's & D's) do respect the process and make sure everything is above board and honest.

This is small town America, elehhhhna. What I worry about is large town America.

[elehhhhna]

49. GOOD ON YA! I'm in Sugar Land, DeLay's district, so...

our poll watchers will be very busy! (Also our first time w/ e-voting.)

[Arkana]

40. The primaries mean absolutely nothing by themselves, Ken.

Take a look at who's winning them. The anti-war candidates, right?

That means that people aren't happy with the way you're running the country. I know it's hard for you to understand, but you're going to lose in November, and you'll like it.

[Jcrowley]

17. Just stand

on a busy street corner with a big sign that says "Don't Be Surprised By The October Surprise, It's All Republican Lies" or some such thing.

Take the matter into your own hands.

Catapult it back.

[janx]

19. NEWSMAX just cracks me up.

They preach to the choir, and the choir drinks it.

[savemefromdumbya]

20. martial law

[Blackhatjack]

22. That's Why We Need To Go Right At Rove, Put Him On Defensive...

Right now he is free to create all kinds of mischief. He should be put on the spot, required to answer questions under oath. The more time he spends defending himself, the less he has to direct dirty tricks against Dems.

[elehhhhna]

33. Rove's over. Off his game for MONTHS. Ignore him.

[napi21]

23. I understand why some of you are saying let the Pugs keep the

shit they made, but,if nothing else, the DemsHAVE to take back the Senate! I know we all relaize yet another SCOTUS is going to retire or quit or die in the next two years! We CAN'T risk another Shrub appointment! You know he will nominate another young person, and extreme RW nut! There is absolutely no doubt that will throw the court fordecades to come! We really can't risk that!!!!!

[serryjw]

24. I know the October surprise

NO ONE can find the new super precincts. Because of HAVA we have gone from neighborhood precinct to super precincts in Denver. My old one was a church one block away. The closest new one is a 1/2 mile away in D/T Denver in an area that has elderly and sickly.....They won't vote!This is a VERY BLUE area. We send Degette back to Congress so many times and NO ONE runs against her......BUT We need Ritter as Governor or we get Beauprez!

[elehhhhna]

26. Go here for precinct info AND check your voters reg.status, all online:

[serryjw]

46. Did you read my post?

I KNOW where to vote but no one else will.....BTW Denver is not on your link

[Kazak]

30. OBL?

Seems they've been "priming the pump" lately, so to speak...

[wicket]

32. Ugh, Newsmax is garbage

n/t

[tenshi816]

35. If an October surprise happens

(and it wouldn't be a surprise), what I'm wondering is how the Democratic leadership will deal with it.

Damnit, I want them to hit back hard, not softly-softly-mustn't-look-angry.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

37. It's NewsMax. If a real source was reporting it, then I'd care.

Is he planning an October surprise? Yeah, probably.

Do I trust NewsMax? Like a $3 hooker.

[wicket]

38. "Do I trust NewsMax? Like a $3 hooker."

LOL!!!

:rofl: :rofl:

[catmandu57]

39. Well, they've got something up their sleeve

of that there isn't any doubt, it's become synonymous with being a reptile. I don't think an Osamacickle would get them what they want, energy prices are already coming down.
I believe they'll foil a mihop and crow from the rooftops, not one of these groups of people who couldn't hit their ass with both hands, but someone with real hatebility and competence.
Then come january watch the fuck out if these bastards steal it again, all pretense will be gone and they'll just seize everything.

[elehhhhna]

43. It better be an early October surprise to affect early voting. GOOD LUCK

Karl. Se ya at the Hague. You'll be the one in handcuffs.

[Cha]

41. Yeah, I just can't wait for your

dirty little surprises..tell me something I don't know. You fatfuck.

[spanone]

42. So, they are planning to steal this one too. Not surprised.

[StraightDope]

44. I'm calling it right now...

A dirty bomb attack somewhere in California.

You heard it here first!

[Darkhawk32]

45. Are they going to bring Osama out of frozen stasis?

[The Gunslinger]

48. They hardly even try to hide the BS anymore
