Poll question: When should we expect our next Orange Terra Alert??
It seems like ages since Ashcroft was scaring the hell out of people RIGHT BEFORE THE LAST ELECTION with his colored chart of terra. :scared:

So when will Rove and company blow the dust off the chart as the November mid-terms approach (and make us believe we're all gunna die if the democrats take back congress?) :scared:

Am I the only one who sees something this coming?

2. Can't believe I'm the only vote for July so far.
They're getting desperate.

3. A gradual buildup.
It is starting now. They may not call it an Orange Alert this time,
but if 2004 is a guide, the terror scares will come back in August or
September with something coming up every two or three weeks to keep
people on edge. Of course, watch out for that last week in October.

4. With this newest OLD BS "WMD" find my guess is that they're starting...
the build up already and will try to slowly work us into a "terra" frenzy by Nov.

Heck every real AmeriCON knows that the Republi'CONs are the best at being... ummm... I mean fighting... the terrorists right? :sarcasm: :eyes:

And just think... all of this has been, and is, for money and power... things they can't take with them when they die and they sure as heck won't buy them a ticket into any "heaven" Jesus talked about... they'll just form heavy chains like Marley's ghost (and Scrooge himself) wore in Dicken's Christmas Carol.

6. There's more than one act to their horror show...
Phase One: Orange in September.

Phase Two: Pass some self-serving bill or appropriation in response to this "crisis"

Phase Three: Profit! Errr... I mean, bust up a terror cell or foil some plot to show how effective they are.

8. July
and probably a late September, early October to stay in the new cycles. The first to remind us with the "newly discovered documents" (from whereever they keep the stash of newly discovered documents) that the bad guys are always out there and the second and or third ones to get everyone in the proper frame of mind for the coming election so that we are distracted enough for it to be stolen again. It's all about them smoke and mirrors.......

Is that you Karl Rove? :hi:

12. I think most figured out why there hasn't been one in so long...
which explains why the repukes haven't used it to scare the hell out of people.

More than likely we'll see something like this:

"George Bush stopped a terrorist with his bare hands today by applying the Vulcan neck pinch on a 98 year old lady carrying an umbrella and handbag. The president said, after giving her swift kick in the ribs and dusting himself off, 'they got this look, you know (heh heh heh). You gotta be ready. This is hard work and I'm good at it'. Political expert Ann Coulter commented...'democrats would've helped this terrorist across the street'. Later in our broadcast, President Bush heals a crippled little girl."

14. October. I hope Olbermann is ready for it! They stopped that crap
after he did his show pointing out the bullshit alerts every time a Dem was on TV, had a rally, convention...whatever it was, there was a terror alert ready made for the occasion.

15. THE CORRECT ANSWER IS - - - drum roll please:
TODAY! (JUNE)

Arrest of 7 Linked to Plot on Chicago Tower
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 33 minutes ago

Arrests in Miami were related to a plot to attack Chicago's Sears Tower and other buildings, a federal official said.


** Not an official terra alert, but close enough!
