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?

There isn’t ONE surprise, there are several.

I don’t know...why would a race hustler like Jesse jackson get involved in helping the family with an Ebola lawsuit? They’re getting ready to play the mother of all race cards...this white House has never cared about how it looks but how effectively they get things done.

Would this administration be willing to have the USA get a black eye from race riots in the run up to the election if it guaranteed blacks coming out to vote for the POTUS party that is “with” them?

Its a Hail Mary, but at this point what other option does Obama have? He wins he issues EO’s furthering his programs, he loses he issues EO’s implemanting his programs.

He just gets a bit more cover if his side wins.

yes I’m quite jaded these days :)

It’s natsec-related (according to Beckel) and it has to hurt the Rs to be a legit OS.

It also has to be something the LIVers can grasp - notice they haven’t grasped ANYTHING the rats have done to harm them in 6 years.

It can’t involve a RINO, that would only turn out more TEA, and the RATS wouldn’t harm a hair on their Uniparty buddies.

It has to be soon because I suspect a record number of early voting this go-around.

Ding ding. I think you’ve got it. A proposal to forgive student loans accompanied by the plea that only a Democrat congress can make this happen.

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)

So....what could go wrong?

They’re going to stage a fake kidnapping of Michelle and then demonize the Republican congress when they fail to authorize funding for the 12-pack of beer ransom demand.

With those two, it'd be more of a sword fight.

Release of the Sgt. from Mexico would be purely coincidental. Obola needs to pull off something really BIGGGGG...

Early voters tend to be Rats.

So spring the Oct Surprise to eithe depress normal election-day turnout OR to incentivize the remainder of the Dem base to vote.

You have the best answer in the thread. I agree that the release of Sgt Tahmooressi will be trumpeted like the "we got bin laden" mantra.

These guys aren't original they will try to repeat what worked in 2012.

I think it was going to be an Ebola vaccine. That is until they discovered it didn’t work.

Ebola is G-d’s October surprise for Obola. You ban flights to the Land of His people, you get a pandemic brought to you by air travel. You chose poorly you evil Muslim.
