What will be the "October Surprise?"

Posted on 10/09/2014 8:13:01 AM PDT by 2nd Amendment

I'm just curious what the Democrats have up their sleeve in the next 26 days? Bob Beckel has promised us one. Previous examples are economic meltdowns, Bush's DUI record, Hurricane Sandy victims, etc. What can they pull out of a hat to turn the tide in the next few weeks?

(UPDATE: This Is Completely False)

Have heard that - I think the place will erupt in more protests and violence a week or two before Election Day, with the hope this will drive out the RAT base across the country.

It might work for blacks and the most hardcore dems but I doubt it will do much for turnout.

I think it’s the bang up job Obama did on job creation with Recovery Summer 5.0.

It could also be the professionalism of our border security and how much that has done for our personal safety during the multiple deadly disease outbreaks that are spreading worldwide.

I might even vote for national security as the “surprise” - look at all the promised “Change” that Obama brought to Arab countries, with even Iraq back in the news on a daily basis.

What about Obama’s use of our military: sending people who are trained to break things and blow stuff up to West Africa, where they can fight a virus while the local authorities and health professionals run away and quit? Isn’t sending the Marines and the 101st Airborne to play dress up as nurses a surprise that no one expected?

The final possibility - Obamacare. We will get our medical insurance cancellations just before Election Day. Could there be a better October Surprise than finding out we get to choose a new insurance plan, and it includes free birth control and free abortions, even if it doesn’t include any doctors who are willing to see us?

The only option left would be SEIU doing an even more outlandish job than usual at counting the ballots - and that’s just about a guarantee. They will have 150% to 200% turnout in key districts, all voting Democrat. Fraud, but that’s no surprise with Obama and his minions.

Ebola X 100....

No elections

at same time - goals for 'DE-population" (How else do you cull the world's population from 700 billion down to 500 million?)

Good points.

yes I’m quite jaded these days :)

I'm -cynicus-

I just don't see the endgame in stoking fears on Ebola. If you missed it, I'm a skeptic, but agree on them playing the race card as the 'Joker'...

Despite Geraldo’s objections to reports that 14 ISIS have been stopped crossing the Southern border, history suggests that 1260 have come through undetected.

(they only catch 10%....90 X 14 = 1260)

It the total quantity, detected plus undetected, is 100% and the quantity detected is 14 and that is 10% of the total quantity, then the total quantity would be (100%/10%) x 14, or 140. The quantity undetected would be 90% (a.k.a. 90 per 100, or 0.9) times 140. Which is 126, not 1260.

So relax . . . </sarcasm>

The student loan forgiveness is a bunch of smoke and mirrors. I tell anyone I know good luck trying to get that particular goodie. It has a cap of $25,000 and, when the SL is forgiven, the borrower has the amount forgiven show up as income. Income to be taxed, that is..

You’ve have to check with the electoral experts, but the Black vote isn’t enough to make the difference in the vast majority of Senate races and this may hurt the Dem’s in those States.

I’ll go with your thought on that.

It is a trivial event inconsequential to most and unknown to LIV’s

The midterm elections are just one week away.

What will the "October surprise" be? Maybe we missed something.
