Poll question: What kind of Fear will be used in the last fifty days to win the election.
Edited on Tue Sep-19-06 04:14 PM by sarcasmo
My personal choice is # 1. I feel they have Osama hidden away and already captured waiting for the right moment to spring the news. Last Election it was the Osama video tape a week prior to the election, what will they use this time around.

1. Other: Turn Democrats into the "evildoers", those to be feared
They've already got their "Weakly (something)" fake newspaper that's trumpeting the "gloom and doom" that will result from Dems taking over either (or both) chamber(s). It's only going to get worse between now and the election.

Democrats DESPERATELY need a "daily rebuttal" (as proposed in another thread today) to combat this faux-fear propaganda.

"terrist" appeasers.

You know what, I love America but it breaks my heart that so many of its citizens are so fucking ignorant and gullible that they'll happily vote their rights away for some imagined safety from the people who led us into this mess to begin with.

we'll probably see another group or two of homeless "terrorists" arrested as well.

11. Same-sex marriage
Edited on Tue Sep-19-06 04:42 PM by terrya
There are some states...Maryland, Wisconsin...who have proposed constitutional amendments outlawing same-sex marriage on the ballot. Hell, Maryland has a Senate seat in play.

I'm genuinely surprised the Republicans aren't pulling out the hate card again.

12. terror attack followed by Martial Law and the suspension of this
year's election, no more elections until the war on terror has been won maybe in 2042 A.D.

BUSH and his Crime Family have too much to lose to chance a Democratic Victory.

13. Other: It's about time for a good anthrax scare. Even if it is fake, sen
send it to a whole lot of people, depend on the MSM to play it 24/7 - that should easily and cheaply do the trick.

15. OBL? I don't think so, not even a lookalike...
It's my understanding OBL will not be captured because of the political ramifications that would result in the M.E. Not to mention he's our eternal Emmanuel Goldstein for our eternal war. OBL is integral to Republican rule.

16. They will not be catching Osama Bin Goldstein anytime soon
He is too useful to the tyrants, alive. Hell, he may be down in the Crawford Stage set (bet the thing has a big-ass bunker and shelter complex now) sipping mai-tais and working on his October masterpiece Surprise for his good buddy Bushes.

Whatever it will be, I think it won't be that.
