What say you?

Just a couple weeks ago you touted his 2 term limit as an example of him not being a totalitarian ruler.

"During his time in power, Putin has placed national television under effective state control, abolished the direct election of regional governors to make them virtual Kremlin appointees, and eliminated the right of independent lawmakers to run for parliament."

I know what I said was that in relation to a scenario of Putin taking power unconstitutionally. Let me know if the Russian constitutional amendment passes. Their constitution currently prevents consecutive terms it is not a life time ban. So at best for you Putin haters Putin would be out of the presidency for only 4 years.

PS: Ronald Reagan in 1986 said that the term limit on presidents was "a mistake".
