The October Surprise (maybe I'm just a cynic)

Jan Brewer & her cohorts do a round-up in the last week of October.

Rounding up parents, family members of the young people who signed onto the Dream "amnesty".

Her vindictive move today, is just the start.

I can see the above scenario playing out.,,with Joe Arpaiao at the "tip of the spear"..

I hope I am wrong, but I do not put anything past these freaks.

releases Mitt's tax returns because he wants to go to God with a clean slate. He flings them out on the internet on a dozen to two hundred blogs and sites, so there's no rounding 'em up.

Let the hilarity begin!

How that helps Ramney is beyond me.

That scenario would give Obama the highest percentage of Hispanic votes in history.

Brewer’s Immigration Blast At Obama Looks Like A Dud

At first blush, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer seemed to be defying the federal government once again on Wednesday night.

The Republican governor signed an executive order saying Arizona had no plans to give government benefits, including drivers licenses, to the tens of thousands of young, undocumented immigrants in that state who would be getting work permits and immunity from deportation under President Obama’s new immigration policy.

But while the order sounded harsh, at least one high-ranking Democrat in Arizona quickly threw cold water on it, saying Brewer’s declaration appears to be little more than hot air.

“It doesn’t seem to really do anything,” state Senate Democratic Leader David Schapira told TPM. “I see it as her once again trying to grandstand on the issue of immigration.”

Commit to a foreign venture, something to take the economy off of everyone's mind. To draw them to something more primal than facing up to these fascists.

Their next world changing war wouild be Iran. They've pretty much played that card for all it's worth, but some incendiary event could force Obama's hand in October.

Or some wackiness related to Israel Most fundies believe in the Book for Revelation and those are your basic tea baggers of the religious type, and then some more of many groups. Something to trigger a war would be a tail wags dog to get them in office for religious matters.

It would serve Mitt's purpose for an event to take place in October such as the hostage taking in Iran years ago. Just got an evil mind about these folks and they've proven their willingness to make trouble in any way they can.
