Karl Rove: 'We've Got a Couple of Surprises' for Kerry )Bush Plays Poker......Well)
Newsmax.com ^ | 9/29/04 | unknown

President Bush's top political advisor Karl Rove said Wednesday that the Bush Cheney campaign is planning some October "surprises" for challengers John Kerry and John Edwards.

"We've got a couple of surprises that we intend to spring," Rove told ABC radio host Sean Hannity, while explaining that he intends to wage an aggressive campaign no matter what the polls show.

"It's 34 days [till the election] and that's a long time in politics and when you get complacent you lose," the top White House advisor said.

"We've got to stay on the offense. We've got to continue to press the battle onto the turf that they won in 2000: the Pennsylvanias, the Michigans and the Wisconsins and Iowas and Minnesotas and New Mexicos and Oregons.

"And we've got to make sure that we lose none of the close states that we won in 2000 - Florida or Ohio or Colorado or Nevada or New Hampshire.

"And you've also got to have a couple of surprises - and we've got a couple of surprises that we intend to spring."

Asked if he expected the Kerry Edwards campaign to engage in dirty tricks, Rove cited Democrat claims in recent days about a secret Bush plan to reinstitute the draft.

"This is all bunk. It is a sign of the desperate straits they find themselves in and their willingness to discard the truth and say anything they think that will get them a vote," he said.

Don't think there aren't people around who know the story behind what's in those files.

That's what I meant. I agree with you 1000%. This is going to be monumental.

Kerry has done so many thing wrong over the last half century he has no idea what that surprise may be.

So that partially explains Kerry's long face, awaiting his sins to find him out?

"Can anyone say "180"?

Exactly what I was thinking.

Form 180? Maybe we forged Kerry's signature?

"Karl Rove is a genius! "

I don't see it. I think the Swiftvets and Kerry are the ones who have given Bush the lead in the polls.

"We've got to stay on the offense...."

Good move, a prevetn defense only prevents you from winning. Smash mouth politics until the whistle blows.

All Mr. Rove has to do is sneeze and the left goes apoplectic.

I think the surprises are going to be even more monumental than those silly statements of Effin. These surprises will be the stake in the heart of a heartless goon!!!!

I hope you are right - But my gut says Rove was just blowing a little smoke. Keeping the Kerry camp guessing.

Kerry has been in politics a long time. Hard to imagine a big October surprise that has anything to do concerning "him" (something with Kerry).

Now if you are suggesting something on the WMD front - Perhaps - But I doubt that very much also.

Those DUmmies over at DU must be crapping themselves over this piece.

The DNC has bought a lame house (pun intended) that's full of mange and all sorts of crap that goes with a sick horse, and they actually DARE to challenge BUSH for the office of the Presidency and Honestly expect to win?

Well, it doesnt really matter to them whether they do it homestly or not since history shows that they have very little honesty, integrity or virtue amongst them.

This is great, but I'm very concerned about all the reported voter fraud allegedly going on. If this election is as close as 2000, we should be concerned.

NO complacency!

Not complacent; but I am confident.

However, I want this election to be a complete abnegation of liberalism. I want to crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentations of their women, because that is what is best in life.

Yes! If this election is as close as 2000.......... we will lose! The voter fraud is immense!

But I think we have a way of counteracting/negating/balancing that........!
