Poll question: It's Time for, TERRA 'LERT LOTTO!!!!!! When do we go ORANGE?
Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 04:04 PM by Walt Starr
Place your bets, folks, when do we go on nationwide Code Orange?

After voting, post how you cvoted and I'll announce the winners immediately following the Code Orange announcement!

2. Walt, you beat me to it !
:) Surely the Orange alert is the easiest way to divert attention away from all the uncomfortable issues. But they may have something else up their sleeves??

3. Everybody should post how they voted
I went with it happening this week.

Winners will be announced right after the Code Orange comes out.

6. Yeah, but I think that's when they'll pull the Code Red 'Lert
See, Code Orange allows them to build the fear prior to pulling the Code Red shit you pants 'Lert right before the election!

10. That's true...we've never been to a "Code Red" before. I change my vote.
Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 04:11 PM by terrya
"Orange" for right before the first debate.

"Red" for the week before the election.

Mental note to myself...never, ever, underestimate these ruthless, amoral bastards.

5. I voted for the week of Sept. 27th
Right before the first debate.

I don't think they'll shoot their wad yet. There is plenty more coming Bush's way -- right now they can still pretend Bush isn't slipping.

7. I vote this week and...
the excuse will be 9/11, I think they raised it last year at this time as well. It won't work tho, it will be seen for what it is, a red herring to divert attention from all the bad news for bush.

Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 04:12 PM by Walt Starr
until after we've gone Orange. I'll open up that thread and announce any winners who stepped forward to announce how they voted once we get to Orange.

13. Okay, so where is our mandatory Freeper vote?
Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 04:13 PM by Walt Starr
Is the Lurking Freeper who always votes in polls asleep or something today? Here I go and include a Freeper's choice and the Freeper simply doesn't vote yet.

17. Cheney already blew it.
Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 04:21 PM by gatorboy
Him saying that voting for Kerry will cause a greater terror attack has me thinking he knows when and if we have attacks. He gave away the fakery of those warnings. I mean, why say that? Especially if we had another attack before election. It would make him look bad.

He knows it's rigged.

18. Having the 'Lert and actually being attacked are two seperate things
We have yet to have an attack during a 'Lert. The 'Lerts are there just to make people shit their pants.

20. We haven't been on a nationwide Orange 'Lert in a long long time.
The last Orange 'Lert was for specific cities.

21. Ohhh. Are they still orange?
I'd love to see them bring some city to orange when they are already AT orange.

This whole color scheme is fucked.

23. Yep, but this poll is for the nationwide Orange 'Lert
I figure they'll trot it out, although I would accept an expanded Orange 'Lert to include battleground states.

I figure Code Red right before the election is a given.

Sept. 9, 2004: "Vice-Emperor Cheney Declares a 'Day of Long Knives' Against Al-Queda-Supporting Liberals"

Edited to add link to actual MSNBC story (believe it or not):
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5936960/
"Vice President Dick Cheney says the United States will risk another terrorist attack if voters make the wrong choice on Election Day, suggesting Sen. John Kerry would follow a pre-Sept. 11 policy of reacting defensively."

25. When does Rosh Hashanah start?
The 16th isn't it? And then when is Yom Kippur?

A lot of the fundies are convinced that serious "end time" events in prophecy are destined to happen on the Jewish holidays, so it might be advantageous for Bush and the PNAC'ers er, that is, "Al Qaeda" to strike at that time to keep the "faithful" behind the pResident.

30. Another kick, because the dam has burst
and they have to do something to staunch the bloodflow.

The sharks are smelling blood in the water and are circling AWOL!

34. It has to be close enough to the elections to sound credible
but not too close to look entirely political.
The announcement will be something like this:
There is credible evidence that indicates that alQueda wants to strike the United States prior to the election in an attempt to disrupt the election process.

36. Keep in mind, they'll still have one color in the crayon box
to play with after they go Orange on us.

Think they'll declare Code Red in various "Blue" cities around the country on October 31, forcing marital law, total clamp down and thus, no voting?

35. 10/25 - 11/1
Edited on Thu Sep-09-04 12:31 PM by LoZoccolo
They are starting to catch a lot of criticisms about timing, and putting one further before the election than that would leave more time for people to look into the threat enough to criticize it. Plus if it's right before the election they can try to claim that the terrorists want you to not vote for Bush*.
