Could It All Be a Trap????????


With Allen and Macca........Burns Calling Fire Fighter Lazy Stupid Idiots and the FAA an organization that only hires Italians...and now Foleys PageGate.....there are several more as well.

I have heard from Thom Hartman as well as several others that the economy is set to fall to the levels of the great deppression sometime in DEC/Jan.....so my question is....could the PUGS be wanting defeat so they can use a poor economy against the DEMs in 2008????

2. no.
multiple implosions like this were bound to happen. The whole system of corrupted power is catching up with them.

We've been waiting so long, it's sick of me, but I'm feeling ecstatic.

3. It's not a trap!
Republicans are just plain IDIOTS and it finally caught up to them!

Republican Voter:

4. All that is possible, but .....
.... with the threat of serious investigations, I can't see it.

Yassee, here's the thing. They ain't all they're cracked up to be. They had a few good years with effective dirty tricks (including rigged voting machines), but like every Republican administration ever ..... they over reach.

The left is not what you see here on DU. We tend to get hysterical about every little thing and, well, we've pretty much scared the shit out of ourselves. Some for very good reasons. Some for not such good reasons (like Karl Rove's omnipotence).

They're out of gas and its showing.

Now, on the other hand, I have personally felt what you ask about. It makes perfect sense. Except .... them damn hearings. That could get more than a few of them in some VERY deep shit.

5. Boy it would be terrible if the Dems regained a sliver of control back
from monolithic one party Republican Rule, falling right into their trap! I'd hate it if that happened!

Better not to run candidates.

6. This economy is EASILY tied to Republicans
Even if Dems take control and a depression hits, I don't think anyone is going to buy the spin that Democrats were responsible in ANY way for creating it.

7. What indicators are they basing that on? A miserable failure
of a strike on Iran and Syria combined with China calling in their loans? What?

If they steal the election again or cancel the elections - and the economy does what you say Hartman and 'several others' are claiming - then it's proof positive that there is something in the destruction of this country for the barons?

Can you lay it out?

8. In 92, my mom, who despised G.H.W. Bush, wanted him to win
Said no DEM should have to face the mess from 8 Reagan/4 Bush years. Figured he should have his nose rubbed in his shit.

She was pretty tickled with what a smart, tough street fighter Bill Clinton turned out to be.

And she wanted to kick Newt Gingrich's "butt up between his shoulder blades".

Re Conrad Burns: Not by device, his behavior. He really is that oblivious.
He had just had some well heeled rancher ragging on him that the fire crew bosses weren't doing things the way the rancher wanted them done. Burns is so anxious about this election that he just jumps when anybody snaps their fingers.

14. In '08?
They're gonna start blaming the Democrats before New Year's Eve.

For the economy
the war
and outsourcing.
They'll claim that "obstructionist Democrats" are keeping GW from "getting anything done"....
Like destroying Social Security, thank goodness

They'll just pick up where they left off in 1999 on Fox.

16. Yes....Dem's would have to raise taxes...Hopefully, only on the rich and
Edited on Wed Oct-04-06 03:43 AM by LaPera
the corporations...Still, this is exactly what the republicans want...

Only thing left for the Rove/BushCo and the sick republicans is an attack on Iran & the republican owned Diebold electronic voting machines, (along with the media to help distort) in order to keep their majority.

I'm sure the republican Secretaries of State all across the country are planning massive fraud to steal the much needed precincts!

19. if they wanted defeat, they could have saved their money
I totally doubt they want defeat. If the economy cracks apart in Dec/Jan people will blame the GOP, the DEMS won't be in charge until Jan. 8th and even then it'll be all to easy to say hey we just got here.

The GOP wants to stay in power, THEY WANT THE ECONOMY TO CRACK UP TO PUSH MORE TAX CUTS, CHOP UP SOCIAL SECURITY, AND THEN WHEN THE ECONOMY IS BACK ON THE UPSWING IN 2008 TAKE CREDIT FOR IT. REST ASSURED IF WE TAKE OVER IN 2007 WE'LL BE BLAMED FOR EVERYTHING, GLOBAL WARMING, ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, CHILD PORN, ETC.
