Billionaires Want A Coup And Not An Election

[TheMastersNemesis]

Obviously the super rich billionaires want a coup and not an election. You can be sure who is behind the Ryan budget that the GOP just voted for. Dropping taxes down to 25% is thievery. That is why all the money if floating around. They want to buy the election and help the GOP steal it.

1. I've got to agree with you TMN! You're completely correct.

2. I often wonder if a coup has not already taken place.

It is the cancer of voter dis-enfranchisement and it is happening under the banner of stopping alleged voter fraud. While this may sound perfectly reasonable, there is only one problem: voter fraud has not been documented as a significant problem any time in the recent past. Nevertheless, a primarily Republican legislative offensive has taken place in fourteen states that could make it more difficult for at least five million voters to cast their ballots in November 2012

6. I agree with you.

And if push comes to shove at the poll booths, literally, things could get ugly. With tensions this high,
if an individual was to discover (maybe for the first time) that they will not be allowed to vote
and starts to become angry, then the scene could start going south really quickly. And with SYG laws everywhere,
well ... If I hadn't been paying attention and a poll worker in Kansas told me that I now need a birth certificate to vote
(a real possibility here, btw), you can bet it will take EVERYTHING I have not to start yelling bloody murder.
This really worries me, because imo *they* already have a plan for that scenario and they've been practicing
it on OWS protesters.

FWIW, I was born and raised in NY. A few years back I needed my birth certificate, and, naturally, I couldn't find it.
I submitted a request to NY and eventually received a copy. Here's my concern: If they pass this law in the
blood-red state of Kansas requiring me to show my birth certificate in order to vote, I wouldn't put it past them to tell me
that the copy will not suffice. These assholes are all in -- they seem to think it's do-or-die time.

Just one woman's opinion.

8. I keep expecting to hear something from the Democratic Party about the

importance of getting supporters registered depending on what their state demands,
but haven't heard much. Maybe someone here can correct me if I'm wrong.

3. Typically greedy bastards. They already got two, but is that enough for them?

Noooooo, they don't know the meaning of the word enough, now they want yet another one.

4. They tried to get one in the thirties, but some noble people couldn't be bought.

7. That's what I was thinking

Smedley Butler-types are in short supply these days.

I always thought that Bush II was the Anti-Butler...the wealthy reactionaries finally found the puppet they were hoping Butler was going to be.

9. They want to continue the coup they already perpetrated

just continue to remove our means to fight and own the SCOTUS. They already won.
