The world's slowest motion coup or ........ ?

[Stinky The Clown]

Is the US in the middle of the slowest moving coup in history or are we just in a really shitty political cycle?

[Totally Committed]

1. Left wing wackos?

4. I should have put a sarcasm smilie by it.

The poll choice was intended to be a facsimile of what a person trying to calm me down might say.

3. I had to go with "The coup is over."

If power has ever been usurped in our country, it happened in 2000.

5. The coup happened in Nov 2000

2008 will be the Restoration

6. Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died

Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

[Perry Logan]

7. The results speak volumes for the low morale of the left

And not without reason, I hasten to say. We've only been getting screwed out of elections and forced to listen to right-wing propaganda posing as the news for the last twenty years.

I do think the Right has made its move. But the coup pretty clearly hasn't worked out. Who knew they would be so incompetent?
