How Did We Manage To Avert a Bush Administration Coup?
I swear that I have silently feared that this gang of criminals would find a way to declare martial law and hold on to power indefinitely.

I know I'm not alone.

God Bless Barack Obama. I am so proud to be an American today.

4. In January 2001, the freeps said the same thing about Clinton

You just prove that they don't have a monopoly on tin foil.

5. Remember when Clinton was going to do that in 2001?
Oh...wait....that was just something I heard on Jim Quinn's show.

Guess what? You will hear the same rumors about Obama in 2013 or 2017.

6. There has already been collusion between Dems and repubs,
so what makes you think they are going to pursue a progressive agenda, free from the influence of the true Powers That Be, their corporate masters?

Until I see some action, I'm going to reserve my praise.

The coup happened after the 2000 election, and again in 2004.

8. They were always about the theft. The ideology was a smokescreen.
