If you read about what's happening with Diebold there is at least a reasonable chance that the last two elections were illegitimate and we're effectively living under a coup RIGHT NOW.
On top of that you have your usual apologists like theking who think they know it all and will actually continue voting for these people even after their perfidy is exposed.
We still have it easy compared to the days when the President was siccing hardhats on protestors and Hoover was blackmailing every politician on the hill, but the concerns over the direction in which the govt is moving are very real and very well founded.

Well, I can agree with you unfortunately things have come to this or are headed that way like a tsunami.
We're way off-kilter here as the President has powers no other President has ever had. With todays advanced technologies and super-weapons we have no idea how the citizens will fare. Just this past week several old enemies of the Republicans have died. Jack Anderson, Bill Proxmire to name a few. It's scary.
I mentioned this on a radio show years ago. Soon, the mysteries of our genetics and physics will be at hand and whoever is in power will dominate and or destroy if we don't stand up fast enough. The Republicans, no, the psychotics using the Right Wing as an excuse to advance their objectives are desparate. They miss the good ol' days of domination but they didn't realize how effective the Internet and Web would be. Really put a crimp in their style.
All this bullshit about freeing Iraq is like me complaining about my own dog dumping on my living room rug. If I hadn't let the dog in the house there wouldn't be shit to deal with. The UK and the U.S. are responsible for the Iraq crisis and Middle East crisis altogether. Now we're up to our asses in alligators because of the swamp they created.
It's bullshit, a fucking lie, a Satanic deception no-end.
