New Term from Condi: "Pre-Election Threats!!!"

[Sparkly]

Condi, on Wolf's Late Edition, talked about "The Pre-Election Threats." The proper phrase, if any, would be "the current threats."

Wolf, a few minutes later, says the key phrase "like Spain..." And what did they do in Spain? Ousted the incumbents, of course!!

Same old thing. If the Chimp is defeated, the terrorists win!! :mad:

Is anybody falling for this?

[Gman]

1. A better question may be

given that 92 - 94% of the electorate has already made up their minds, and they appear to have already chosen Kerry, would a terrorist attack make a difference in the election?

[Sparkly]

3. Nobody knows, but they won't say that

Nobody knows if it'd have an effect, and if it did, nobody knows in which direction. But the point of the spin is to say "Bush is the one on the Offense" (we're hearing that word a lot lately) "so the Terrorists want him out, just like Spain." Implication: "Kerry would be weaker on Terrorists."

It's all about a boost for the Chimp at the polls.

6. yes, might distract from voting place "irregularities" or drastically

reduce turnout enough to make a BBV victory for * a possibility...

[Sparkly]

8. That's certainly true, too

Good point.

[Andy_Stephenson]

10. IMHO and it is mine alone...

I think a more likely scenario is a melt down in the printing of the ballots this fall. Bev and I have discovered that Diebold is going to have a rough time printing the 12 million ballots it is contracted to do. Disenfranchising millions is a great way to lower turnout. Diebold had better come up with a plan C as A and B are already in trouble.

2. LOL "pre-election threats"

she must be talking about the latest polls. THAT'S the real pre-election threat that the bushies really care about.

4. The silly flag system

will be red on election day.

[madrchsod]

5. no-at least those who have a brain

those who don`t have a brain will believe anything.....

[AndyP]

7. I honestly think that an attack would kill Bush in the polls

He has run this whole campaign on making America safer. Well if an attack happens that would mean he didn't do a good job.

[Nite Owl]

9. Exactly my feelings.

Maybe too logical and sensible a conclusion but it would just say we need someone who can do a better job.

18. You forget. Whenever the "facts" become inconvenient...

...he simply changes them.

Example: Deficits are good for the economy.

11. Is anybody falling for this? Not me.

The Spanish government fell not because al Qaida attacked Spain, but because after the fact the government lied about it and attempted to balme Basque separatists when they had good reason to believe it was al Qaida.

Aznar led his country into war in spite of overehelming opposition. The invasion of Iraq is not a Spanish war and there is no reason why Spaniards should pay any price for the blundering of US neoconservatives. The Spanish people reightly turned Aznar's party out of power.

As for the idea that this is some kind of "pre-election threat", that assumes that the terrorists are afraid of Bush and want to turn the election against him. What nonsense! The fact is that Osama thinks the only good American is a dead American; it makes no difference to him who sits in the White House.

The only people pushing the idea that Osama wants Kerry to win are the neoconservatives. They're lying in order to manipulate public opinion. Again.

The real question is: Who will more effectively fight a war agianst terrorists? Instead of fighting a war agianst al Qaida, Mr. Bush and his aides diverted the resources needed to fight Osama in order to invade Iraq in an action that was entirely irrelevant to anything that happened on September 11. The invasion of Iraq did nothing to make common Americans safer, just rich Americans richer. Meanwhile, while Bush was invading Iraq, al Qaida regrouped and was able to launch attacks in Istanbul, Madrid and Riyadh.

If Osama can launch another attack, what it will say in no uncertain terms is that Mr. Bush has failed to make Americans any safer then they were on September 11, 2001; frankly, I think the attacks in Istanbul, Madrid and Riyadh say that. It's not a reason to vote for Bush.

12. You know & understand this. I know & understand this. We all do.

The problem is, the repukes, sheeple and other assorted "morans" refuse to - "lalalalalalal - I'm not listenting" syndrom.

[Sparkly]

13. Exactly! Well said!

Please consider sending that as a LTTE.

As you point out, invading Iraq wasn't about going "on the offense," the latest phrase in the rightwing script.

The Chimp has provided fantastic new opportunities for terrorists all over the world, and this is another way to mask that fact.

[TahitiNut]

14. ANY opposition to this regime is regarded as a "Pre-Election Threat"

"If you're not with us, you're against us!"

That's their credo - their entire worldview. They employ an abundance of ad hominem labels but without rational discrimination. They see no difference between Saddam and al-Qaeda, between Communism and Socialism, or between liberals and anarchists. Their slack-jawed, drooling, knuckle-dragging, grunting reichbots persist in hyena-like predations, failing to distinguish between Mythos and Logos, Faith and Fiction, or even freedom and enslavement. They're happy victims of a political con-game - willingly picking more cotton to help massah richer while addictively dreaming of marrying massah's fat, indolent, despoiled daughter. If ignorance is bliss, neoconservatism is Ecstasy.

15. John Kerry had the best answer for this -

"The American People will decide this election, not the terrorists."

[Cha]

17. That is a great answer..these Machevellian clowns can't

get over that Spain was against the war and would have ousted anzar anyway but even happier to oust him since he couldn't protect them against terrorists after he dragged them into supporting the bush/blair gang going into bombing the Shyte outta Iraq!

[Cha]

16. The terrorists win because chimpy and gang can't protect

us! The terrorists won on 9/11 because that same gang had their heads up their butt.

We need someone in there who Will Protect us and that someone is John Kerry.

Stuff condi's little Orwellian Shit right back in her monkey butt face!
