1. This is exactly why they need to have an election.

2. Yeah, it's to be expected.

They said they wanted Mursi gone. He was just in the way.

What they want is power. They didn't get what they wanted. They know how the Constition should be. They know who should be in charge. They know how the country should be run. They have all the answers.

It must have been really galling that they didn't win the elections, all the expertise and ability just overlooked, slighted, by the plebeians.

The democrats aren't liberals and the liberals aren't democrats. We saw those who so much liked democracy. Morsi. Now we get to see those who are liberals just expect to be given the reins.
