    If you were to pick the single greatest hypocrisy of the Bush Presidency, wouldn't it have to be this: that the man who ostentatiously claims Jesus as his favorite philosopher (he of "do unto others as ye would have them do unto you" fame) would say, in all seriousness, "Common Article III says that there will be no outrages upon human dignity. It's very vague. "What does that mean, 'outrages upon human dignity'?"

    LOL, I thought it was a debate about the liberal media and how it lies? Or wait, no, sorry, it was another one of your idiotic, tired insults about how liberals love terrorists, in a thread about elections. Shoot the messenger, ha ha ha.

    He's specifically, on multiple occasions, said a lot of things that turned out not to be anywhere close to accurate. So I'm not sure the relevence of this. Bush does not get to make up his own definition of torture.

    I don't really follow conservative websites. Can one of our conservative brothers offer any insight?

    ---------------------

    Conservative websites claim Rove has been promising GOP insiders an 'October surprise'

    According to two conservative websites, White House political strategist Karl Rove has been promising GOP insiders that there will be an "October surprise" before the midterm elections.

    "In the past week, Karl Rove has been promising Republican insiders an 'October surprise' to help win the November congressional elections," reports Ronald Kessler for Newsmax.

    "President Bush's political strategist is also saying that the final two weeks before the elections will see a blitz of advertising, and the Republican National Committee is deploying an army of volunteers to key locations to help the grass-roots effort and monitor the election," the article continues. "The RNC is offering to fly in volunteers and cover their expenses."

    A few weeks ago, another conservative publication, The American Spectator, reported that White House staffers had "been talking up the possibilities of an 'October Surprise' or two leading into the mid-term elections."

    "They say the President feels confident he can still play a role in the election, that he intends to campaign hard for Republicans, and that on the policy front, there are a couple of issues that can be used as wedges along the way," according to a column written by "The Prowler."

    Excerpts from Newsmax article:

    #
    Rove is not saying what the October surprise will be. Asked if he would elaborate and give his thinking about the coming elections, Rove told NewsMax that his take largely parallels what RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman said in a Sept. 5 NewsMax story.

    As for the October Surprise, Rove said, "I'd rather let the balance [of plans for the elections] unroll on its own."
