Actually the Democraps hate Putin...he cuts taxes, impliments flat income taxes, is very pro business, got the Duma to ban abortions after 12 weeks (huge no no), implimented Christian education in schools and the military...(gigantic no no) and has cut down on the size of government while pushing through land ownership and trial by juries....and you think the Democraps would like this guy?
Actually, my post indicated that the DemocRATs would love the tradition (read that the historic Communist period) over there.
