REPUBLICANS PLANNING TERROR ATTACK ON U.S. TO MAKE BUSH LOOK GOOD AGAIN? DO WE HAVE ANY PROTECTION FROM THESE MANIACS?
>
This story is almost too scary to believe. But so is the entire ascension of George W. Bush. Doug Thompson seems to have gotten his hands on a top secret GOP memo circulating in certain DC neo-fascist circles. His story in CAPITOL HILL BLUE sounds like a plot for a bad movie-- or for a worse right-wing politician. This is a really vile... proposal? wish? suggestion?... God knows... to keep control of Congress in 2006. "The closely-guarded memo," says Thompson, "lays out a list of scenarios to bring the Republican party back from the political brink, including a devastating attack by terrorists that could 'validate' the President’s war on terror and allow Bush to 'unite the country' in a 'time of national shock and sorrow.'
GOP insiders who have seen the memo admit it’s a risky strategy..."

Two thoughts:
(1) From the CAPITOL HILL BLUE report:
"Insiders who have seen the memo admit it’s a risky strategy and point out that such scenarios are 'blue sky thinking' that often occurs in political planning sessions."
Hoping (planning?) for a terrorist attack is "blue sky thinking"???
(2) CAPITOL HILL BLUE isn't exactly the most reputable source, but this kind of rings true, no?
“'In 30 years of sampling public opinion, I’ve never seen such a freefall in public support,' admits one GOP pollster.
"Democratic pollster Geoffrey Garin says the usual tricks tried by Republicans no longer work.
"'None of their old tricks worked,' he says.
"Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.) admits the GOP is a party mired in its rural base in a country that's becoming less and less rural.
"'You play to your rural base, you pay a price,' he says. 'Our issues blew up in our face.'
"As Republican political strategists scramble to find a message – any message – that will ring true with voters, GOP leaders in Congress admit privately that control of their party by right-wing extremists makes their recovery all but impossible.
“'We’ve made our bed with these people,' admits an aide to House Speaker Denny Hastert. 'Now it’s the morning after and the hangover hurts like hell.'”
