I wouldn't want the Communists in power because they would be worse than Putin. But once the election is over, Putin goes back to being the enemy because he leads the Russia which sided against us in Iraq.
Likewise for you, now that the election is over, it is time for you to attack stoopid neoconned arrogant imperial Boosh regardless of how much you prefer him to the alternative.
Why no thank you for Russian support in Afghanistan which is major and the reason we won so quickly there?
