Eisenhower during presidency.... baaaad, created NATO.

Yes I know, I made the poll..... But the main topic is still russia.
I just added the Bush thing to make a point.

You're the one who made people pick Putin OR Bush/Gore for fraud. I pointed out it's not either/or. I'll just repeat, shh.

Don't need to hear you making baseless comments about 'off topic' as you post about Eisenhower.

By the way, if you're going to mention 'CIA operative' at all, info is nice.

I dont think you need to be telling me shh in a thread I made. And if you read the entire thread I wasnt the first one to bring up Eisenhower, someone else did hence I said what I said about him.
And as for the agency that begins with a C Id rather not get into that.

Yes, I do. In fact, I need to repeat it because you don't listen very well. Shh.

You're making a baseless attack when your own OP is responded to about the response being 'off-topic' while you post away adding to 'off-topic' about Eisenhower.

For the last time hopefully, shh. Get back 'on topic'.

Why am I losing? Just cause were disagreeing? Like I said hes not a nationalist, the fact that hes ex KGB proves this, its a no brainer.

You do know that someone can both be ex KBG and a nationalist at the same time, right? Wait, apparently you do not, else you would not have posted what you did. My bad. You can be both at the same time.

Of course he didnt get the vote in chechnya.....
I remember when those scumbags kidnapped the children in the russian school and I asked my roomates wtf is going on. Their response was that chechnians are the scum of the earth. ANd medeyev couldnt have said it better "we will aniquilate them" they are terrorists and should be dealt with and he coudlnt have made a better statement.

I support the response to Chechnya. Had they peacefully broke away, no problem. Using terrorism to do it? No.

You have to admit that Bush has Neo style reflexes. The shoe thrower took him by surprise and Bush moved away...then gave him a look of "go ahead and throw the other, you just gave me points even with the dems when they see my 1337 dodging skillz"

The dude is also in GREAT shape. He recently went on a long distance mountain bike ride with a bunch of wounded vets. It was grueling...the vets were very impressed.

Can't deny that. But not much of a Renaissance man nor statesman which I put all together in the complete tough hombre catagory. Look at putin, doing combat Sambo, racing cars, rambos though wildernes, then playing piano concerto on front of thousands, then on the world stage doing deals and making freinds. Dudes awesome IMHO. Really more like T Roosevelt.

Russian elections are no more fraudulent than ours. In fact they may be less so, if you think fraud has any correlation with incumbancy re-election rates. US incumbancy re-election rate is among the highest in the world. When you couple that with such low approval ratings, the only way to explain it is fraud... and/or pure stupidity.

Interestingly enough, most people rate their own senator/representative very highly but rate the collective body of Congress very poorly.

Wrong. Money and a powerful media and marketing system.

As a person from a neighboring country, I would say that Putin won fairly.

I hope he puts pressure on my country: stop giving us cheap gas, cheap oil, etc.

I don't think any kind of functioning, well-read individual could ever assume that a Russian election was anything but fraudulent.

Well, the Russians really like strong/confident leaders who are not afraid to confront glaring issues, unlike US where every politician tiptoes around these issues. I'd say the election was fair and square, but then again, Putin had no good opponents running against him...

"In Russia, president vote to give people four more years." Daily Show narrator
Daily show is funny. But John Stewart seems to like to play both sides of the coin. Take it with a grain of salt, after all it is also part of the mass media deception.
