Lets deconstruct this BS copout from your type. Russia has a freely elected government, they had free elections, observed by the OSCE and declared honest. Putin was elected by 76% of the vote. That means you hate the people who elected him. Well that puts you in good company with the: Communists 13%, Socialists 3%, Yablaka 3%, SRS (Oligarch party) 3% and Misc 2% (probably the terrorists on the run from him). Congratulations, you have good standing company. Now go and have a koombaya with them.
Amen JB6! Well put. BTW, I actually was able to observe the previous Duma elections. From what I saw, the polls were well more organized than ours. Also, the younger generation is more politically astute than our own. Oh, whoops, I mean, Damn them all. Commies! They want to take us over. There, is that better, TTS, and Blackdropletsofhate?
