October Surprise--Scared Yet?

Surprise! Well, not really. Much like I anticipated the latest re-surfacing of Osama bin Laden (this time a videotaped appearance) indeed fits into the convenient scenerio of the possible October Surprise. This is where enough people's (hopefully undecided voters) would again be striken with 9/11 flashbacks at the sight of Osama posing another apparent threat to Americans, give in to their irrational fears and vote for George Bush so that he can continue to secure our great nation.

None of us, including top Homeland Security agents, can ever prove that this latest threat is authentic or if this is a preamble to the theory that the Bush regime has choreographed an elaborate Bin Laden capture just before the elections on Tuesday.

What (at least to me) is clear is that the timing of this latest threat could not be a better window of opportunity for the Bush camp to capitalize on his 'keeping our homeland safe' rhetoric and revamp the same anger Americans experiences when they were first violated by the 9/11 attacked and were pumped up about the justifications for war--which again, has no relation to Sadam.

Voters should remember to stay focused on this election so that fear does not get the best of them again and lose site of what's really happening hear.

9/11-fear allowed NYC Mayor Bloomberg AND George W. Bush slither into power and effect many lives in New York City and the world quite negatively.

Please do not let it happen again--no matter what turns up in the news over the next few days.
It only takes one televised instance of 'shock and awe,' resulting in in-action, to put Bush back in the White House for another 4 years.

We are not the first nation who have had to get to voting booths under duress and the threat of violence (i.e., Haiti and most politically hot third world nations), but people manage to handle their business and vote for who they want anyway--even if it means risking their lives.

Are we going to allow CNN or FOX News keep us glued in front of our televisions behind locked doors while we watch the top 1 percent of America's wealthiest and entitled votes (Bush friends) re-select this bumbling idiot? Let's not.
