Lookie lookie a no contest election in Russia

now there's a surprise. I repeate, hope they don't rig ours again. Or if they do, whoever wins won't step out like Gore did. Beware of Clinton, she's cut from the same cloth and might 'bow out gracefully' to Herr Bush herself. Meanwhile, Russia:

From the "Voice of America News":

"Russia's presidential contest stands in sharp contrast to America's hotly-contested presidential primaries...Unlike his American counterparts, Dmitri Medvedev - the candidate of the ruling United Russia Party - did not need to submit his ideas, style and political record to the scrutiny of open competition, in which various party constituencies select their nominee based on discrete interests, be they regional, social, industrial, or financial.

Instead, Medvedev was nominated in private, though the exact procedure is unknown..."

Sounds like that first election Bush won to me. "We are the people are parents warned us about." - Buffett I think

And meanwhile, per the BBC they may support Iran sanctions:

Sounds just like round 1 with the 'weapons of mass destruction' Powell lie. Maybe it's not a lie. But, I again return you to a little thing called the Iran Contra Hearings. I think we laid the groundwork for all of this long ago. Hey, and with Russia taking the arms race into space, we can even do it on a planet far, far away.
