Acidic Rhetoric Against West Primes Russians For Parliamentary Elections

Good points, ''venik4''.

Seems to me most of the controversy in this Russian "controversial campaign" is limited to prejudicial news articles like this one in the Western press. Gary Kasparov, you say? Nobody cares. He was a great chess player and many Russians respect his for that. But this is as far as it goes. Gary has no plan, no original ideas, no political basis. He is pure rhetoric and ever that is limited to pointless criticism of Putin. Kasparov represent nobody in Russia. His coalition consists of unregistered, unrecognized political groups financed primarily from outside Russia. Kasparov is not a presidential contender and even if he was, he would have still been irrelevant.

Who was the one that said it doesn''t matter what the voter votes for, but rather the one who "counts" the votes? Me thinks the same thing goes on here too, but I hope not.

Thank you Mr. Putin, for helping to keep our illegitimate puppet-Fuhrer in check.

Best of luck to the people of Russia!

From the story: "Acidic Rhetoric Against West Primes Russians For Parliamentary Elections." Would an ally treat it''s friends like this? Putin is a concern to put it mildly.
