If Bush loses the debate, expect a new round of mudslinging

[Onlooker]

If Bush does poorly in the debate, Rove will probably do something big to try to overshadow that. He might try something militarily, but I doubt it since those things have a way of getting out of control.

I think he'll do some kind of mudslinging. It will first be posted on Drudge, just like the "orange color" insult was. But, what kind of mudslinging will he do? Lie about Kerry's service again? Create some other kind of rumor (drugs, sex, murder)?

1. The Iraqi defense minister

said yesterday that military operations are planned in the disputed areas (Falleuja) during October......

If true, I can't see how this will help Bush*

2. Yup, it's gonna get uglier. Big deal.

So we call them on it. We're right - they're wrong. We do have the truth on our side.

3. And if Bush "loses" the debate, expect

a new round of mudslinging.

It's what they do.

4. We're talking about the bush campaign here.

If bush wins the debate, expect a new round of mudslinging.
If the sun rises in the east, expect a new round of mudslinging.
If the sun sets in the west, expect a new round of mudslinging.
On days that end in a Y, expect a new round of mudslinging.

5. Exactly! Since when would mudslinging

be a new tactic for them? That has been their whole campaign.

6. The new round started today

Ads in Florida that Kerry and the Liberals voted to cut Security and Military budgets.

And by the way, you are paying for this little visit. All they had to do was run out and see an uprooted grapefruit tree near Lake Wales yesterday (they avoided the population and filmed from the orchard), and a fallen Palm in Stuart today. Thus it was a "Presidential" trip, not a political trip chargable to the campaign fund.

Say it simple? Numbnuts is sticking you for the bill for the trip for the debate in Miami.

7. They'll go NUCULAR

As long as manages not to wet his pants, the press will declare him the glorious winner.
