Eastern Ukrainian cities voted to inch closer Moscow and further from Kiev on Sunday, following in the controversial wake of Crimea, a Black Sea peninsula formerly part of Ukraine.

Between 94% and 98% of eligible voters in Ukraine’s eastern provinces of Luhansk and Donetsk both voted for greater autonomy from Kiev, the head of the region’s Central Election Committee said on Monday.

Did I also mention that Chicago had so many extra votes for Das BlackenWhitenFuhrer in the 2012 "election" that they exported them by bus to the Milwaukee precincts to help swing Wisconsin for The One?

Is that supposed to be some sort of rational response?

No one voted for the new regime in Kiev though.

That said, Ukraine is breaking up and blame everything on Russia is convenient.

The President resigned. A new election was scheduled.

That’s how it works in a parliamentary system.

That’s simply a fact. It is the obvious.

Tens of thousands of troops on the Ukraine’s border, goon squads running around Ukrainian cities on the East craking heads with long bars, Crimea already annexed..., and you intimate people are being unreasoned because they fault Russia.

You’re right. We can let folks look at what you said and come to their own conclusion.

No, Russia won. Now go and celebrate.

Elections called by Russia on Ukrainian soil, once again are held up as the legitimate way to run things in a sovereign nation.

Perhaps Mexico should start ordering elections in Texas. Who knows...

McGruff didn't say that.

Quit putting words in his mouth.

Are you okay? There there now... it will be alright.

I get it...
The Not-A-Nazi Nazi’s did not overthrow the government in the Not-A-Coup Coup.

Even Baghdad Bob or Jay Carney would have a hard time spinning that hard....

“If Ukraine wants to hang onto these regions, it had better be prepared to start killing a handful every single day.”

Sick.

Secondly, you mean the Kiev regime, not “Ukraine.”

You switch from “regions” to people, as if the Kiev gov’t owns these people in Eastern Ukraine. Are those in Kiev their slave masters?

I don’t care for thug Putin, but the thug Kiev gov’t isn’t any better.
