Yaro knows all about his presidential canidates but in the USA. We have the son of a war hero, a war hero and Clintons pal.
The only issues are who smoked dope or spoke of Jesus. I think Macain wants to give up veterans more benefits. I vote for him.
There no mention of our relations to the East or abortion; just a bunch of smiling faces spenting millions to get elected president.

OH GENE,

YOU BROUGHT UP A GREAT QUESTION? Who's the next smiling face to be president of our nukes.

Dim outlooks. We don't want another Bush, that's for sure!

Though I must say, I didn't vote for Jeb Bush in my state. None the less, he's here and there are good points and bad.

His first move in office was to shoot down the bullet train across Florida and put the money for new roads. Dumb! I guess he has never been overseas and seen how well public transport works! Then he took on drugs in our state and I applaud his efforts, spending more on treatment than enforcement. Smart!

Oh well, happy at home,
Jason

Yaro, you are great. I have been trying to find out what is going on in Russia with the elections, you are the best source of info.

Gene, you can get alot of info about our presidential candidates if you stop watching the talking heads and start reading. There is alot being said that is not being reported. You only catch sound bites on CNN(ClintonNewsNetwork), CBS, NBC, ABC etc. FOX does have some disenting opinion, but again, it is cut to fit into little segments. Go to the actual websites for the candidates, read their speaches IN THEIR ENTIRETY and especially watch who they cater to. Identify your priciples (what are your core beliefs, mine are personal freedom and personal responsibility) and does this candidate and party support your core beliefs. GO ALAN KEYES

RELAX, RELAX MY LITTLE BOY; EVERYTHING WILL COME AT IT'S TIME..........JUST WAIT FOR YOUR COUNTRY TO KEEP DISRESPECTING AND PROVOCATING RUSSIA AND YOU'LL SEE. BESIDES, WHEN THAT HAPPENS IT WILL BE YOUR COUNTRY'S FAULT BECAUSE OF THEIR AMBITION TO RULE THE WORLD WITHOUT CARING IF THEY STEP ON ANYBODY'S TOES , INVADING ANYBODY'S TERRITORY,& IGNORING ANYBODY'S OPINIONS. HYPOCRATICALLY SAYING THEY ACT "IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM & DEMOCRACY" AND COWARDLY HIDING BEHIND THE ALLIANCE'S SHIELD.(NATO)...........BUT DON'T WORRY THERE'S PLENTY OF NUKES FOR EVERYBODY,(FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE) EVEN ONE MISSILE EXCLUSIVELY DECORATED AND BEAUTIFULLY PAINTED FOR TONY BLAIR WITH HIS NAME ON IT. WE'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR SOME TIME ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY: " THEIR ARROGANCE WILL BE THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION". SO, DON'T WORRY MY LITTLE MATTERMAG BOY. . . . .ALL WHAT RUSSIANS WANT IS RESPECT.

No matter what the American government says about helping and wanting Russia to succeed,
something doesn't ring true. We really don't know what is being planned in the corners of the White House, Pentagon and Capitol Hill. It seems that the American government believes that if other countries depend on the USA to be their benefactor, it makes them look like they are helping for purely selfless and altruistic reasons, but in fact that is not so. They don't want Russia to succeed and become an equal or greater power.

As I mentioned in one of my earlier postings, in nature the world needs balance of power. When you have someone that dominates, there is a danger of kaos; everything in nature needs checks and balances.

For the sake of Humanity and the Democracy that America is so proud of, let us pray for a strong Russia that will keep America and (China too) in check.

If Russia does not become strong and healthy again, there is a greater danger of "world destruction."
There is a saying "The healthy animal never feels threatened, but the wounded animal does."

Respectfully yours,
LillyNomad

DEAR K33MTR=

I BELIEVE YOU. YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT MY COUNTRY. IT'S A SHAME THOUGH THAT YOU CAN SEE INSIDE AND KNOW WHAT AMERICANS REALLY THINK. JUST AS YOU, WE DON'T REFLECT OUR GOVERNMENT! I THANK RUSSIA.COM FOR LETTING ME GET A LITTLE INSIGHT TO THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE. I HAVE MUCH RESPECT FOR YOU AND THEM. LIFE IS FAR TOO EASY HERE...

Jason
