Remember the Haitian boat incident in Miami last year before the Jeb election?

Probably too tinfoilish to directly tie it to the DNC, but food for thought, and more reason to get ticked off and fight the Dems. The 2004 campaign has started, whether we like it or not.

For Bush 41, the Special Prosecutor (Iran Contra) released his 'findings' right before the election. He had literally nothing on Bush, but smeared him anyway, and released his report to maximize the political damage.

Quite a contrast with Starr and the non-political manner he conducted himself in...

In 2000, there were TWO October Surprises: one involving GWB's DUI arrest 20+ years earlier, and the other involving a fake Rand Corp. education "study" of the Texas Miracle, which was nothing more than an opinion paper by a politically compromised researcher. The researcher had used the media to spin his "conclusions" early the previous spring, when he was supposedly just beginning his research. I'll try and find some articles on the subject.

I don't recall the details but there was something about Simon in the 2000 (?) CA governor's race. The company his family had founded was accused of something and by the time Simon's name was cleared there had been too much mud slung to salvage his campaign.

I'm sure CA FReepers would be much more aware of this story than I am ..... hope I don't have it completely wrong.

Can you add to the list?

Clinton was an all-around dirt bag but he got elected and reelected. Bush 41 was a war hero and a good man and he was thrown out of office by the Left and the Right.

Sister of Texas dragging death victim attacks Bush - She says GOP nominee ignored pleas of family - October 23, 2000 BY MARY OWEN FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER ***The sister of James Byrd Jr., a black man who was dragged to death by three white supremacists in Texas, was in Highland Park on Sunday urging blacks to vote against Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush because of his reluctance to support hate-crime legislation.

"He treated my brother's daughter cold and heartlessly when she asked him to pass laws against hate crimes," Louvon Harris said to a small group of NAACP members at the New Grace Baptist Church.***

There's the famous "Bush Sr. flies an SR-71 to Paris to make sure that the Iranian hostages aren't released until after the (1980 Presidential) election", that surfaced, I believe a week or two before the 1988 Pres. election. If memory serves me right, that was the one that coined the phrase "October Surprise".

Great thread.

No. The DWI was the FRIDAY before the election.
