2. Rove called Osama and asked him to do a video.
They needed to try to scare the sheeple into voting for Bush.

7. Guess here,
but I think it was that stupid little thing about Kerry saying he went to the UN security counsel before Iraq, and because he did not talk to *everyone*,(which Kerry never said he did), THAT was the big-woo October Surprise.

Stupid, I know.

8. Why is there assumption that there HAS to be one?
The October Surprise is a dirty trick that has been exposed and known by most, thereby defeating its purpose. How is it a suprise if everyone expects it?
We succeeded in supressing any October suprise by exposing it before it happened..

9. I hope
that the October Surprise is not a November Hijacking of the elections.

They will try.

10. I think the biggest surprise........
was that there wasn't one.

Makes me think that the Jackass doesn't really want to play President anymore.

11. Rove's Osama tape fizzled, BIG TIME! Nobody bought it..
funny how the media had tapes of bin laden a few years ago, but weren't allowed to air them because he could be sending hidden signals to his followers, but a few days before the presidential election and all the sudden it's perfectly FINE for bin laden to send signals to his followers.

we have no way of knowing when the tape was made and the fact that AWoL's administration had it shown on american tv a few days before the election just shows how low the repukes will stoop to win.
