What we are witnessing is UTTER PANIC on the part of BushCo.

[TruthIsAll]

They want to scare you. They have nothing else. They are out of control.

D.C. ELEVATION TO ORANGE ALERT.

ALWAYS WHEN THEY ARE IN TROUBLE.

WATCH. RIDGE. NO. SPECIFICS.

ON EDIT: YES, SPECIFIC BULLSHIT.

[Snoggera]

1. I disagree

They have to have everything in place for their Repuke Hate-fest and the months beyond. No demonstrations. No news contrary to what they want presented. No dissention. This is only the beginning of a plan that will unfold in the coming weeks/months. It won't be pretty for those hanging on to the last vestiges of belief in democracy.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

2. Yup. Eggs Ackley.

You can bet that this is the start of a state of affairs, in NYC and the larger east coast that will be indistinguishable from martial law.

[Jazzgirl]

3. Typical move to take attention away from Kerry.

Its funny 'cuz everybody knows they use this tactic all the time to steal attention but they do it anyway. They keep doing the same thing over and over and getting the same results. :shrug:

[Joanne98]

4. It's those poll numbers

The REAL ones. They are in trouble and they know it. This ought to be interesting. These evil, evil people will do anything to keep power. And that means ANYTHING!!!!!!!!

[City Lights]

5. Double-edged sword.

They can't claim they've made us safer while they're trying to scare the shit out of us.

[Wapsie B]

18. That needs to be our slogan.

If chimpy has made us so safe why all the terra warnings?

[indigobusiness]

6. DC going to ORANGE Alert

Yellow is status quo.

[bobthedrummer]

7. They are going down, come what may.

I am unafraid of them.

[proud patriot]

10. here here

:toast:

[salinen]

8. No du'er has ever said

that maybe they are real alerts. Because it is obvious by their timing that they are unreal. When a political maneuver involves frightening the populace, they have lost all morality, and therefore are unqualified to lead.

[Shopaholic]

9. I'd love to know how far up the Democratic internal polls have got us

running. Anyone from inside got an idea????? I'd also love to know how bad the *'s are running at the moment-obviously they are trying to pull out the stops and scare the crap out of everybody again so that tells me right there they're getting scared!

[salinen]

11. We have momentum

We have a clear vision. We call for change when the population is asking for it. They should be frightened.

[Mikimouse]

12. Just remember though, if they get desperate enough...

they'll make sure that something DOES happen, if for no other reason to demonstrate to the American people that they have the apparatus in place to detect the threat, but need four more years to perfect a system to thwart the attacks.

[kaitykaity]

13. "The Sky Is Falling!! The Sky Is Falling!!"

And what was the other one?

Oh, yeah. 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf."

This is completely ineffective because they have
overused it to their political advantage in the past.

They ain't got nuthin'.

[NightOwwl]

14. We know this is politically motivated bullshit, but

does anyone here think the general population (excluding Bush sheeple) is catching on?

[Danger Duck]

15. Some are playing along.

I had my monthly poker game last night, and a few of the players are repukes. One said that he was confident * would win, because he was sure that during the convention, they would simulcast the capture of Osama. They actually expect their party to be corrupt, and find no fault in that. This is the face of the enemy.

[newyawker99]

17. Hi Danger Duck!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[ItsMyParty]

16. Just thought of something no one has touched on

How about this scenerio: right before or doing the RNC in NYC, there is this big raid, gun battle, shoot 'em up, whatever of the foces of our great President foiling the plot to blow up stuff in NYC. Everyone tunes into the convention to see what Bush has to say about that. Want to put any bets down on it??? Any self respecting terrorist with half a brain who might have remotely thought of blowing up something in NYC or DC in the next few months has blown town, gone underground, and wouldn't attempt squat at this point. So, their little "made for f--ing the American People" drama should be interesting. These criminals have got to be driven from OUR government.
