We need to start a whisper campaign, to tie Bush and his people to the dishonesty/ fantasy meme, and then remind friend and foe alike that after the Phlame affair, and other events, Bush will do ANYTHING to win.
The most likely October surprise will be Bin-laden turning up dead or captured, in a week or two. And we need to have already prepped folks that that finding Bin-Laden now, with too few troops on the ground, and and NO intelligence in the country, would be as miraculous as God himself in all his glory walking in to Fox news and cutting a campaign ad.
If we are pre-emptive enough, we can scare Bushs peopel out of trying this stunt, and I would suspect they have no back up plan.
Even better, if we remind people that the ONLY way he will turn up, is they have had him on ice, litterally or figurativly as the case be, and they trot him out anyway, they walk into getting caught red-handed. Even his strongest supporters would be taken back to have Bush try such a dirty trick and get caught.
But we can only counter it if we get the message out that such a thing is not beyond what this crew is capable of. If you have someone connect the dots, to show the tricks we already know about, it does not take a tin-foil hat to smell a huge rat when he turns up.
If Bin-laden turns up, and people are flat footed, there is no way can point out how suspicious that looks. Then we would be dismissed as a conspiracy theory nut, along with our candidate and the whole party.
I guess casual conversations, introjecting this though a joke asking what is Bush capable of in a letter to the editor, pointing out what we already know he has done, and other such methods. IF Bin-laden is found in the next 4 weeks I would bet my life the ONLY way that can happen is if they have been holding him for the right moment. We have dropped the ball so bad in Afghanistan, and Pakistani, we could not locate him now, even if we were looking and I don't think we are. And the odds of a lucky break, at JUST the right moment to swing the election are about the same as hitting the power ball, tree weeks in a row, for 100 million each time.
Now maybe he is smart enough, that he has some super secret commando unit out a few weks ago, hot on his trail, but if that is the case, he could have done that 2 years ago, so it still comes off as less a wise presential act and moiré a craven attempt to swing the vote.
I also has people with their eyes open so any other manufactured surprise would look just as suspicious to them. I still would not put a bombing past these folks.
After the way they twisted 9/11, and outed Phlame, the patriot act, loyalty oaths, and "free speech" zones, the reality is any such action WELL within the realm of things they might try, and the hard evidence is there to back it up, if we can get people to start adding things up.
Once again, I fear my sanity that could accuse the President of the United States of being capable of such tricks, but I truly believe he is.
