    Recent history is full of right wing coups - Just about any country in Central and South America. Spain, Portugal, right-wing military dictatorships in south-east asia, etc. So get real espeir. No political leaning has a lock on coups. I should not forget the right wing coup that occurred here in the US in 2000.

      Not bitter at all. Just stating how it is. But, if it makes you feel better, you can pretend that I am. But the point of my original post is still valid - You don't know what you are talking about.

        The fact that you consider Bush's clear and legal victory a coup is itself bitterness. Do you grind your teeth at night?

          More republican dribble. Had we used a half-way modern voting system, Gore would have won. He had the popular vote.

                  You have a bizarre need to define other people's feeling and opinions. It does simplify your life - you don't actually have to listen to what anybody actually says.

                    I don't define them. I observe them. Consider my talent a curse on you.

                      No so. Every single study of the election by groups and newspapers on both sides of the political spectrum and of all of the contested ballots in Florida concluded that Bush won, hands down. Thank God and the stars that we don't have a popular vote in the United States! The popular vote is too easily swayed by hyperbole, demagoguery and histrionics.

                        You do define. Unfortunately you do not observe. For you it is not a talent, but a curse.

                          Untrue. The group of newspapers that did a recount found that in 6 of the 9 recount scenarios, Gore would have won. But none of that is actually relevant, since the Supreme court, aborted the election process and gave the presidency to Bush.

                                        No, this is my screen name, and it has been for the last several months.

                                          Which America do you live in? Mine's not a bit like this.
