I wouldn’t be surprised if the dems try and make the claim the repubs had collaborated with the terrorist at Benghazi to take hostages and make Obama look like Peanuts Carter before the election, an “October Surprise II”.

I wouldn’t either and I guarantee it will involve the RINOs that TEA has desperately been trying to rid the nation of!

Also wouldn’t be surprised if the GOPe got caught red-handed assisting Lerner go after TEA. They did threaten to bury us publicly, after all.

Possible October surprise: Clown Prince nobama will come out “triple”: renounce his U S citizenship, come out of the closet as a homo and openly embrace his moozlum self. LIBs will swoon at his “honesty”. There will be many “leg trickles” in the media.

“Also wouldn’t be surprised if the GOPe got caught red-handed assisting Lerner go after TEA. They did threaten to bury us publicly, after all.”

Now that would be a true October surprise that would hurt the Republicans. But it is a reasonable possibility given the behavior of the Republican elites against the Tea Party..

There will be an October surprise, count on it. I'll be pleasantly surprised if not.

While we here have not come up with a sure-shot scenario that would work, bear in mind it likely the regime has the advantage of having a big team of Hollyweird's script writers choreographing whatever they will come up with.

Domestic, local event? What would that be? A manufactured DHS raid on “domestic terrorists” with legally owned firearms.

Calling the NRA— out the dem libs. This is a centering issue cross party lines and turnout maker.

Republicans don’t go in for an October surprise because they are afraid it might offend someone. Republicans prefer to tiptoe around in October, go to the restroom to pee pee, etc.

Except Bob says it involves natsec, so I’m going with RINOs arming IS or similar groups.

And it damned sure won’t be TEA party figures that get the indictments! Hopefully, all the ones in the Surprise have state laws that the Gov appoints their replacement, and hopefully their Govs are conservative.

Beckel, Morris, Carvile, really not interested in what these losers have to say.

Correct. Maybe they made a deal with the drug cartels to give up the ISIS training near El Paso. After all, Rep. O’Rourke told law officials there not to talk to Judicial Watch anymore, presuming someone had leaked information that he knew about from an official email.

Because 30% of voters have no conviction on anything.

wouldn’t thinking people just observe that event and say, “Oh, that was the October Surprise,” and then just go ahead and vote the way the had planned to before the Surprise?

Sure, just like what happened after the 'economic crisis' in 2008.

He’s going to hand out free iphones to everyone that votes Democrat. And then he’s going to pardon himself for it.

He will then promise give every liberal media owner a personal invitation to the White house Lincoln bedroom and free passes on AF1 anywhere in the world if they never, ever mention it anywhere in print.

:)

Don’t think he wouldn’t do it if he couldn’t figure out a way to.

Arming up terrorist would come with blaming repubs for Benghazi.

I know a few weeks ago Whorealdo Rivera had gotten his talking points from the dems on what story line to push for Benghazi and he started spilling his guts because he wanted to look like he was the smartest kid on the block and predict what the Benghazi hearings would uncover.

“Knowing that, wouldn’t thinking people just observe that event and say...”

Yeah, they might, but “thinking” people are not but a scant minority among the mouth-breathing, shiny-object-chasing masses.

...destroy capitalism

The commie financiers figured out long ago the best way to destroy free market capitalism is to exploit it's very freedoms, thereby enriching themselves while using their bought/paid media/academia to spread the evils of capitalism to the gullible hollywood brainf$#%ed masses(in other words... a win/win for the bad guys).

What was it the commie said "the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them".... Make no mistake, those who are manufacturing & selling the ropes are NOT proponents of capitalism, and rest assured they will NOT be the ones swinging from "their" ropes when the shyt hits the fan.

In the business world I guess this might be called a "hostile takeover"(destroy capitalism)...not this one...it's a slow, methodical process based on manipulation through deception.

...and with the election of Obama/other Trotskyites...I'd say it shows the anti-capitalists are well on their way to achieving their goals.
