The fruit was poisoned from the get go: lets see the progressive Yushchenko's line up: his PM is a "self-made" former civil servant who made herself $11 billion while running the gas industry (in 5 years that's about $2 million every day and that's her personal money), his next two is another oligarch and the head of the socialist party. Yup, he's definitly the Hillary kind.

Yulia Tymoshenko, the new prime minister, AKA the Mafia Gas Princess, controls 20% of the economy. Oh yes, honesty has come to the Ukrainian government. sarcasm/off

[Drango]

Isn't the house and senate in session? Come on gang...get back to work. (Or not, sometimes it's better when you do nothing)

[jb6]

But but but, he's soooo pro-West, the MSM told me. Amazing that people who wouldn't believe the MSM for a second on any dealings or issues about America will hang on every word of the same lieing journalists, as if they were the gods of truth.

[Destro]

Maybe she can trade points with Hillary - since they both became rich overnight in suspect market deals.

[jb6]

McCrazy was there? I thought they said it was 7 democrats and 3 republicans, well I guess if you apply party label then they were right. McCrazy is lefter then Lieberman. I wonder, did Lieberman, as a jew, have a nice talk with Yushchenko's former body guards, UNA-UNSO?

[jb6]

Yushchenko is a honest man as advertised

And who did that advertisement? The MSM. And you believe them?

[jb6]

It was aimed against the Soviet Union, banning trade as long as Jews weren't allowed to immigrate out. Needless to say, though half the Jews have long left for Israel and Russia is actually experienced reverse Jewish immigration now, Russia, Ukraine and Belaruss are all still being slammed by this. It limits the amount of trade and investment by their companies in America....meanwhile we give everything away to the Chinese.

[jb6]

Since when do they have to be in attendance to be "working"? Look at John and John during the elections.

[VIDADDICT]

Clinton, a liberal Democrat and the wife of former President Bill Clinton, and McCain, a conservative Republican, last month nominated Yushchenko and Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Heard on Rush's show (with T.Sullivan) that this year's Nobel prize should go to Arafat for dieing.

Someone wrote me recently and asked how they can know the truth about the Mafia Gas Princess. My response is included below:

Firstly, here is one link to get you started. Then do a Google on the lady and follow up all related links. http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,3604,1359986,00.html

http://www.s95451559.onlinehome.us/test2/archives/2003_08.php

http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2004/3148ukraine.html

"Yushchenko brought energy executive Yulia Tymoshenko, who today is his ally and the most aggressive opposition leader, into the government as Deputy Prime Minister. Responsible for Ukraine's energy sector, Tymoshenko oversaw the sale of several power plants to the U.S.-based AES company, an energy shark and asset-stripper par excellence. She protests that her subsequent imprisonment on bribery charges was a political frame-up by the Kuchma regime, but even Matthew Brzezinski (son of Zbigniew) reports in his 2001 book, Casino Moscow, that Tymoshenko made billions of dollars from the patronage of Pavlo Lazarenko, the mid-1990s Ukrainian Prime Minister, who has been convicted of money-laundering in Swiss and U.S. courts, and is currently serving time in the United States."

Secondly, I tend to doubt conspiracy theories. One FR'er first pointed out some problems with the woman, and so I asked my Russian/Ukrainian wife about her. Nadya is the kindest and most loving lady I have ever known, but when I mentioned Tynoshenko's name she got extremely angry, because the woman stole from the poor in Russia and the Ukraine. Don't take my word for it, rather do your own research.

You'll notice that there was this "if" that came before the words you snipped away. Buzz off, dork.

[KimmyJaye]

Yep...and the article describes McPain as a 'conservative republican'. Yeah, right. Since when?

Jackson-Vanik and Russia Fact Sheet
Jackson-Vanik and Russia



The Administration has begun consultations with Congress and interested groups on the possibility of graduating Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union from the provisions of the Jackson-Vanik amendment.

The Jackson-Vanik Amendment is contained in Title IV of the 1974 Trade Act. It effectively denies unconditional normal trade relations to certain countries, including Russia, that had non-market economies and that restricted emigration rights. Normal trade relations may be extended, on a conditional basis, to a country subject to the law only if the President determines that it complies with the freedom of emigration requirements of the amendment. Semi-annual reports on continued compliance of that country must be submitted to Congress. The President may also waive the emigration requirements.

Since 1994, Russia has been found in compliance with the Amendment's freedom of emigration requirements. It continues to be subject to semi-annual compliance reviews. Ending the application of the Jackson-Vanik provisions to Russia requires legislation by Congress. This is a prerequisite to the extending unconditional or permanent normal trade relations to Russia.

Jackson-Vanik has been an extraordinary success in securing freedom of emigration in the Soviet Union and its successor states. Since 1975, 573,000 refugees -- many of them Jews, evangelical Christians and Catholics -- from areas of the former Soviet Union have been resettled in the United States. The Russian Jewish community in the United States today numbers between 750,000 and 1 million, though some estimates are twice as high. An estimated 1 million more Jews have immigrated to Israel during that time. For fiscal year 2001, 3,875 refugees from Russia were resettled.

The United States continues to engage in a dialogue with Russia on emigration and other human rights, both bilaterally and multilaterally. We continue to report on emigration and the status of human rights in the annual reports on human rights and international religious freedom. Bilateral assistance programs are also used to promote respect for human rights and development of civil society.

this maybe dated from 2001?

[FairOpinion]

Thanks!

[OldFriend]

Perhaps he has a coaltion team in mind to run for president.

I think the dems hate him for not agreeing to be the gigilos's running mate.

[LADY J]

"I think the dems hate him for not agreeing to be the gigilos's running mate."

Maybe he was saving himself to run with the wide-load!

"Buzz off, dork"

Well nice to see that you're the grown up conversationalist. Next time I'll try to relate on your level. That you give the MSM even an "if" is to much.

And a classice one from the Albanian days:

Typical McVain behavior -- tagging along with the Dems.

Next time I'll try to relate on your level.

You might find that sort of difficult. Just concentrate on spelling words correctly.
