ok, serious question- if Bush pulls his october surprise, will he win?

[UpsideDownFlag]

i can't imagine that ONE success, no matter how well orchestrated, would tide him over. however, with a complacent media who's been waiting for this story for three years...what do you all think will happen in the even of OBL's capture?

[UAWONE]

1. Bush

YES !!!!!!!!

[Liberal Veteran]

4. Please elaborate....Are you saying you like Bush?

:shrug:

Your post could construed to mean that.

[Guy Fawkes]

5. what?

[UpsideDownFlag]

7. hoo boy. if you wanna stick around long enough to really disrupt

you need to be more subtle.

[Guy Fawkes]

8. Think someone should alert?

[Liberal Veteran]

10. I just did.

:)

12. WHAT?!

If you are really a UAW member, there is no friggin' way you could logically vote for bush. Or maybe you are just an a-hole? Well, which is it man? Talk to me.

2. That Depends

on whether or not people wake up.

3. the october suprise

will be another 9/11 and about 3 more wars will happen at once with instant draft where they just kidnap you and force you into the army

6. Osama Bin Laden is a mass murderer

who needs to be brought to justice. If he is indeed really caught, that is good news, but I seriously doubt if it would help bush a lot. Three years and 1000 or more lives later is just too late. And besides, it is unlikely that he is stupid enough to wander into American custody, and he seems to have a large network of Islamic fundamentalists who are perfectly willing to hide him forever if necessary.

11. You're being rational

Our spoon-fed sheeple are not rational in the sense of keeping up with this country's doings, and/or blindly believe what they are told. If not the 'sympathy factor'.

I hope * loses, but they won't let power go that easily.

9. I have something he can pull

and it's NOT my finger.... :evilgrin:

13. Why are you posting

serious questions in the Lounge? :shrug:

We come here to have fun.

[UpsideDownFlag]

14. oh. um, because in the lounge, people are more honest and blunt.

that's pretty much all.

[prolesunited]

16. Regardless

a lot of people hang out in the lounge to take a break from such topics, yet you have numerous political threads posted in here.

Here is a description of the Lounge:
This forum is for personal/social discussions, vanity posts, and all other *non-political* topics.

I think it would be nice if you posted your political threads in the appropriate forum. How's that for honest and blunt?

[UpsideDownFlag]

17. very honest, very blunt. sorry for bothering you with my thread.

i will henceforth post more sensibly.

sidenote: people also pick which threads to be a part of.

15. wonder what Albright and McDermott would think

if this happens

In a speech to business leaders in India, Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Wash., gave credence to a rumor that the U.S. has captured Osama bin Laden and for political reasons is waiting for the right moment to reveal it, according to the Indo-Asian News Service.

"There are already rumors circulating that Osama bin Laden is being held somewhere already and it's only that they are trying to decide what day they should bring him out," McDermott told Confederation of Indian Industry representatives at a luncheon in New Delhi on Thursday.

Former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright echoed the bin Laden rumor, suggesting to Morton Kondracke of Fox News: "Do you suppose that the Bush administration has Osama bin Laden hidden away somewhere and will bring him out before the election?"

18. He Could Kiss My Ass

and give me a million dollars and I still wouldn't vote for him. No, nothing would change my mind. I'm sticking with Kerry/Edwards!!!

[latebloomer]

19. you'd think they'd be building up the audience more

in anticipation, if they indeed have bin Laden in cold storage.

They'd want to provide the best possible atmosphere for the triumphal capture-- and yes, it would be a huge Media EVENT. And too much of our populace seems very susceptible to this stuff-- it would give Bush a big lift.

I'm hoping the current lack of orchestration means they haven't got him.
