Is Putin the new darling of the Conservative Party?

    4 out of 5 conservatives agree that if Putin stood before them, they would give him a job. :)

    No he is the new darling of the Liberal party because he bailed O'Bama out of the corner he had painted himself into and he embraces many of the same policies as Liberals!

    Look at the similarities!

    Putin specialized in suppressing the media. O'Bama specializes in silencing the media using the Justice Department to go after journalists.

    Putin specialized in suppressing free speech. O'Bama specializes in suppressing free speech by using the IRS to silence any opposition!

    Could Putin be the Democrat presidential candidate in 2016?

  • Whether someone is a liberal or a conservative it doesn't make sense to hate Putin for working out a compromise that could avoid a potentially disastrous military conflict. Let's not start WW3 just because there are war profiteers who influence the US Government.

    And the man you voted for was going to start a war that would have cost thousands of lives and millions of dollars, all because he "drew a line in the sand" and his ego was bruised?

    A man that admitted that he used and sold drugs, this is your "darling"?

    Not hardly. The Right is about freedom and liberty. But it is amusing to watch two people on the Left go at it, and right now, Putin is the only one with points.

    Those conservatives on tv need to realize their appearance. The mid terms are coming up. I keep trying to warn, but they are not the best listeners.

    He averted WWIII. Obama wanted WWIII. Oh what fun that would be. In this case. Obama bad, wants WWIII. Putin good Not wanting WWIII. See how that works. Just to let you know. You internet and cable TV will become spotty when WWIII breaks out.

    It is laughable. Putin schooled the little school boy with the big ears and you guys are po'ed.

    Putin is running circles around your boy and you dopes are in denial.

    It's ironic considering that as a former member of the KGB he was once part of what Reagan called the 'evil empire'.

    You are unable to cite even one conservative who ever indicated he digs Putin.

    You are also unable to cite even one DEMOCRAT who has not - specifically including YOURSELF.
