occur and it's very possible they can make it happen with the corporate media's help and Karl Roves lies and distortions...they don't care if every lie is exposed after the election, they are in and then it's "fucking shut up Democrats".
If some combination of this scenario plays out (which some of it will happen) think how powerful the corporate media, who wants Bush to win will play it.
Right before the Republican National Convention...1) They present a captured Osman bin Laden to America.
2) Bush at the convention makes his 9-11 speech in New York and points to "ground zero"
3) Bush announces big troop withdraw from Iraq (soon to go back after the election)
Convention over...4) Gas prices start dropping fast, (oil companies will do anything to keep BushCo in power)
5) The planted WMD by the Bush cartel are "discovered" for America to see.
6) Stock market starts going way up again, (corporations will accept temporary losses, manipulate to keep Bush in power.)
7) a major diversion, US declares war on N Korea, or Iran etc...or a minor terrorist attack, but some major distraction.
The Election!:nuke:
I'm sure you can find one or two items you think Rove will throw in there.
It's going to be a long hard road and it's going to get very ugly.
