to add:

if Trillanic and Lim were victorious, they don’t have the balls to turn over the government to Noli De Castro. i bet Lim would not even want to be 2nd in command to a mere ‘elticol’ (Lt Col pa lang si trillanic, right?) kahit senador pa sya!

they don’t have the balls of Enrile and Ramos who turned over the leadership to Tita Cory

When the teargas came, his cowardice came out,”Now you are all witnesses to this governments tyranny (something to that effect).

Now, in court, he’s saying,”There was no coup”, using legalese to get out. If that’s not cowardice, I don’t know what it is.. Starting a coup only to deny it later.. Susmaryosep!

And now, what’s this failed assassination that he’s claiming?

In my barangay, the street thugs have more character than him. I’d prefer the rugby boys over him, at any day.

on trillanes action, below was written by mlq3 on the link you just provided. is it not my point and also anthony scalia and the others?

… But I don’t like it, I think he betrayed his mandate as a senator, which was to take his fight from the periphery into the heart of government, and I think he was foolish and those with him did the President a favor instead of doing anyone else any good. But I am equally upset with the fire-breathing statements of people who refuse to see why the clusterfuck was inevitable, and that the whole thing could have ended up far worse, if some cooler heads somewhere hadn’t prevailed. –mlq3

the reason abou my comment re trillanes is that I had already difficulty explaining to some people specially to my wife the wisdom or folly in voting for trillanes then. not even the reason of a protest vote could make me convince her the move was wise. “so what I said, that’s how I see him, we need people like him in the senate”. but then came this peninsula siege. wtf, a very stupid act. you hear people say, “see what I meant?…I told you so”… then you learn further his motive behind the move. from embarrassment to outrage. a feeling of betrayal. it was a waste afterall.

then, here comes this smart guy w/ a mob mentality judging my character because I have to condemn the move of his idol. but it’s a consolation (and I believe a sane reaction) that I read yours and scalia’s comments and most of the others too I read and heard (except ellen and her mob) who felt betrayed too supported my position and reaction about trillanes.

between the scaRRed cat and ellen t., I would always prefer and give credence to the former.

Voting for Trillanes is a mistake that I am proud not to have committed. From Day 1 in Oakwood, It’s obvious that there’s nothing in him, for a captain at that. tsk tsk.. I wouldn’t even have him lead my barangay patrol.

I voted for Trillanes and being disappointed is putting it mildly – mlq3

mlq3, are you abandoning trillanes too after voting for him?

In the interest of completeness and accurate context, what i meant in my comment in the next thread (at May 9th, 2008, 4:32 pm) was to ‘Wait for 2010′ if we want to see Gloria’s plan to do a ‘Putin’ play out.
