When is a coup not a coup???
With each new passing day it becomes more and more clear to me that on that faithful day in december of 2000 that a coup did in fact happen here in America. Am I wrong?

coup: overturn, upset

1. No, you are not wrong.
And, if you are correct, it will not come to an end on November 4, 2008.

2. And with the real test to be on Jan 20 of '09
They will have to do something to keep themselves in power as the source of their power is spying on the citizens especially the other politicians. They inforce their power by the use of Blackmail. I'm convinced of that. This has to come to an end soon, it has to.

3. No argument but there may have been a counter coup in the last 2 years.
No invasion so far of Iran, and to date they still occupy the Oval Office (for appearances).

My suspicion is at some point the generals said "NO". I still wonder about the unauthorized nuclear missiles on the B-52.

7. We must never forget those nuclear bombs being flown across the US
Things of that nature do not happen accidentally, it doesn't happen that way. Maybe this counter coup is why we even still have a november election in the works.

Personally I think we as a country will be bigger and stronger than this crew of misfits and war criminals and we'll win in the end but look at the cost this all will take. Lives, time and money all wasted. Someone, or better yet, a whole slew of somebodies will be paying for all this. I also think we'll, our government, will be able to recoup some of the funds thats being stolen and just plain assed squandered. A better day is coming for all of us and it will be well deserved because we came damn close to losing it all.

4. And what has happened since the coup??
They have invented and magnified a threat to our country so they could rob us blind, via the Defense industry. They have changed the laws to spy on every American whenever they want. They have borrowed so much money and have shipped so many jobs off shore, that it is only a matter of time before we are officially declared a Third World nation with the strongest military in the world. We have no more accountability. We have no more justice. A coup? Maybe?

9. When it's a Sedan.
I kid. Well if it truly was a coup, we'll soon find out, because W's golden boy, McCain will win handily and the power of the cabal will be secured.

10. That is what we must make sure doesn't happen
Time is running out on boy wonder and his gang of theives and war criminals, that they have to do something to stay on top. Yes, as the saying goes, the nutcutting is about to begin.
