Remember folks, the last two presidential elections had queda attacks and videos right before the election in an attempt to influence the election

What specific attacks are you refering to? The USS Cole attack probably helped Bush in 2000. What happened in 2004?

She’s no slick willy. Sure, there are probably some chunky chicks that would like to roll with her, but she doesn’t have the brains that willy had.

She’s thinking it, she’s thinking it. She wants AQ to “go away” for the next 16 months - THEN they can attack all they want anywhere they want.

But - is she stupid enough to actually say it? (In public - that is.)

One more reason why this woman is scary. She pulled this same crap to divert MSM’s attention away from her predator husband’s erupting sexual crimes which explains the bombing of 7 countries in 8 years of the clintoonian admin.

The republicans would also get a boost if a large portion of the population pulled its head out of its ass. By doing this the people would be able to see that the democrats are spineless traitors.

Hillary is right. Any terrorist attack now will help Republicans becaus3e Terrorists are seen as the allies of the Democrat party. Any terrorist attack will also be seen as an effort to help Dems a la Spain.

Thoughts? Yes, my thought is that if it will harm America, Hillary will do/say it.

She just did. In case no one noticed, the buzz code was: If you attack now, the Republicans win, we can’t help you.

This is too easy.

In 2004, it wasn’t an attack. Remember that Osama Bin Loungin put out his video in an attempt to freighten everyone. It hit the airwaves on Monday, day before the election.

Even John Effin Kerry, (the f**k I’d like to meet in a dark alley) admitted that Osama’s video sank his ship.

If you really want to get anal, I can probably find the video and prove what I’m saying, but I hope you remember and don’t make me have to go through all that nonsense. :-)

I was responding to your comment, "Remember folks, the last two presidential elections had queda attacks and videos right before the election in an attempt to influence the election."

I do remember the video before the 2004 election, but no attack. Are you suggesting that AQ was trying to influence the elections by getting Bush elected and reelected? Why would they help the GOP out again?

No, exactly the opposite. If you remember, they hit Spain. And the euroweenies folded like cheap cameras. Elected all lefties.

Osama thought it would work here. Osama wanted to KILL Bush’s chance for reelction, that’s why the video. It backfired. Americans don’t like threats.

Osama wants dems elected. The stupid f**k thinks that threats will make that happen. Hildebeast is smart enough to know, that Osama is stupid. That’s why she said what she said.

She said: “If you hit us, republicans are guaranteed to win the pez elelction, if you want dems in office, don’t do it.”

Clear?

Based on what you wrote, I thought you were referring to the US Presidential elections, not the Spanish parliamentary elections.

Osama thought it would work here. Osama wanted to KILL Bush’s chance for reelction, that’s why the video. It backfired. Americans don’t like threats.

Why did UBL attack the USS Cole in October 2000? Did he want Bush elected?

Osama wants dems elected. The stupid f**k thinks that threats will make that happen. Hildebeast is smart enough to know, that Osama is stupid. That’s why she said what she said.

Then no attacks until after November 2008. Good news. I guess we got that UBL guy all figured out--finally.

She said: “If you hit us, republicans are guaranteed to win the pez elelction, if you want dems in office, don’t do it.” Clear?

I guess it is clear if you accept that premise. Then again, another 9/11 attack could help the Dems if they blame it on the GOP and its inability to defend this country. Moreover, if it is learned that the perpetrators came across our Southern border or were visa overstays like four of the 9/11 hijackers, the WH is going to have a lot of 'splaining to do.

The conventional wisdom is not always correct. UBL has been successful by doing the unexpected.

You are a liberal democaRAT.
“Why did UBL attack the USS Cole in October 2000? Did he want Bush elected?”

I can’t understand your logic. Osama obama did not KNOW the fortitude of W at the time he hit the Cole. He only knew that Clinton was a pussy. He thought all Americans were pussies.

Then he ran head long into a dumb farmer from Texas. He didn’t expect a dull, dim witted frat boy from Texas would have such resolve that Osama bin Hillary would have to run and hide for his life. If he is even still alive.

Yes, W has dropped the ball really bad on this border thingie. He is a f**kin Texican. And if you understand Texicans, you can understand W.

OTH, he is a Crusader. He understands Islam, and he knows that Islam is the disease, and regulation .223 is the cure.

DemoKaRatz don’t even know we are at war, and have been at war for at least 200 years.

Just a drunk sailor here, care tell me why General Pershing insisted on the .45 caliber M1911 be pressed into service?

So he didn't try to influence the election if it didn't matter who was elected.

Then he ran head long into a dumb farmer from Texas. He didn’t expect a dull, dim witted frat boy from Texas would have such resolve that Osama bin Hillary would have to run and hide for his life. If he is even still alive.

The "dumb farmer," son of a former President, from an old, established, elite Yankee family in CT, who went to Andover and Yale like his father and then on to Harvard for his MBA.

Yes, W has dropped the ball really bad on this border thingie. He is a f**kin Texican. And if you understand Texicans, you can understand W.

He is not a native "Texican," but rather a New Englander.

Just a drunk sailor here, care tell me why General Pershing insisted on the .45 caliber M1911 be pressed into service?

I had a great uncle who served in the Philippines during the Sapanish-American War as an Army scout. The way I understand it, the .45 was necessary because of its stopping power against some of the crazed natives who were attacking them. As an old sailor [not drunk] myself who served in the Gator Navy, that's the best I can do.

Sorry, your history is lacking. They may have been “native” to the islands, but they were Moros, an Islamic (muslim) group, who were not “crazed”, they went after the infadels in suicide fashion. Suicide bombers, imagine that. And the .38 could not stop them. Therefore, the .45.

As for the rest of you post, you have Bush derangement syndrom, so I know I can’t have a rational discussion with you. Good day.
