Business insider on Maher said a senator told him they arent going to help the economy.

But this isnt news. The media pretends its just part of the game.

1. Which business insider and which Senator?

[GusFring]

2. Michael Brendan Douherty. He obviously isnt going to say who told him.

3. I think they're preparing another October surprise at which they are expert

Nixon illegally contacted the South Vietnamese government ahead of the election to hurt the Democratic chances by promising them a better deal if they would refuse to participate in the Paris peace talks and drag on the war a little longer. That was revealed last year in secret tapes made public and that Lydon Johnson refused to go to the press for fear it would hurt the institution of the Presidency forever. We know what Reagan did in the way of his October surprise to defeat Carter.

I wouldn't put it past the Republicans to have contacted major companies to get them to wait to hire personnel and retool or expand until after the election, promising them fewer regulations and lower taxes if the Corporate Raider wins.

But, most feel I am being a drama queen.

6. No doubt in my mind that they are trying to figure out something.

5. I saw that. Seems all the GOP on the hill have been given marching orders to do nothing. I hope they

choke on it!
