October Surprise pool on Randi Rhodes

To those listening (or not) ... post your thoughts on what rabbits the BFEE will pull out of their hats prior to the election to attempt to sway public opinion.

I will consolidate and email them to her.

Here's mine: Cheney will be forced to step down due to "health reasons" to be replaced by Colin Powell

2. Not a chance. Colin Powell wouldn't do it.

He's already said he's outta there after this term.

I think it will be another "terrist" attack. Or a nuke on the mideast.

16. I agree with the Reagan idea...

I am on record with friends and family that Reagan is already dead and that it will be announced either during the puke convention that Ronnie has died or that one week before the election. One week prior to the election will have the media whores running tributes 24/7 in honor of Reagan. Sheep will equate Reagan with Smirk and there you have it.
Hey KKKarl Rove, since you obviously get many of your really good ideas from us already, here is another one for you. That is the problem with the tin hat stuff. Rove materializes our fears.

5. The November elections have been cancelled

due to the latest terrorist strike in the US.

Humble, freedom-loving George will reluctantly suspend elections until some indefinite time when the freedom to cast ballots can be exercised in a secure environment.

18. DRE Machinez and Regional Tabulators Catch a Virus on Election Day

Forcing annullment of the elections, due to hundreds of thousands of votes being deleted
and chaos at the polling places.
All those machinez run Windoze and are vulnerable to viruses like Sasser.

This only if Bush* is losing by a landslide come Election Day.
If he's within 20 points he will just steal the election.
They'll have to burn the exit polls again unless they let Diebold program them too.

7. The old standby, Osama bin Laden captured

I still don't think it would be enough to save Bush though even if it was an October surprise.

14. An attack against a military base

I could see a huge terrorist attack against a military base in Iraq (ie Beruit), and likely with "WMD's" that will prove that Bush was correct to take us there to find the WMD's and anyone who says dares to challenge his wisdom and leadership is against our troops who were lost in the WMD attack.

13. The October Surprise will be.....

George will apologize. Of course it will be for something like taking Condi's breadstick at dinner, but he will be very contrite in his apology.

Freeperville will erupt with adulation, chanting "Maximus...er....George the Humble" and alll will be well for at least another four years.

17. Critisizm against the Present Administration is now Illegal!

Edited on Wed May-05-04 02:41 PM by Homer12

Any and all non-sanctioned comments will be erased and those who make them will go to jail, pay fines, and worse.

To question our authority is punishable by death!

You are under martial law, the constitution has been suspended for your safety.
