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?

I’m going with Ferguson grand jury not charging the cop, race riots, and Obama whipping up the black vote in the cities across the country in the week ahead of the elections.

Only way they get anything close to an Presidential election turnout.

Whatever it is you can be certain that it will demonstrate another new low in political behavior for the Marxist/Democrats.

Yep - Ferguson - the ground game is more organized now. These protesters have hit the streets again and have taken it to another level by disrupting concerts and a Cardinals game - the momentum will build and the risk for conflict will escalate.

Concrete evidence surfaces that Thom Tillis was found guilty of pulling a mattress tag off in 1985.

He said it would be national security related. Maybe a ramped up campaign against ISIS aspirin factories?

October surprises are generally things that should make the party using them look good. That takes ebola, borders, and Ferguson off the list.

The only thing I’m seeing that looks like the White House try to use is the release of Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi. Just the other day the White House finally broke silence on it to say that they believe he will be released soon which tells me that they’re involved now.

That said, I don’t see it as much of a surprise when everyone knows Obama hasn’t done squat.

If Bob Beckel is involved in it and/or approves of it, you can take that to the bank.

Not with black(s) dying of Ebola and stoking the uncertainty of government doing its job (lol). /s Oh...I'd LOVE to see him stoke THAT fire and see how many blacks turn out to vote...

Even better. Free tuition money to anyone who is of college age (regardless of whether they actually attend college or not).

I’m thinking Ebola could be used as a means to eliminate future elections. If not this, then 2016 after martial law is enforced to quarantine and stop the outbreak, or so the scripted story will go.
