Obama has just unilaterally imposed more sanctions on Russia. As a Tea Partier do you find these sanctions completely outrageous and comparable to Obama ignoring the rule of law with regards to Obamacare mandates? What next sanction again Russia and employer mandates.?. As a Tea Partier do you think Obama has gone too far and we need to make peace with Russia and enforce the employer mandates?

On Monday while President Obama was taking part in a global nuclear security summit in South Korea, he was caught on tape asking for Russian President Dmitri Medvedev for “space.”
“This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility,” Obama implored.
Obama assured the departing Russian President he will have the “flexibility” required to deal with missile defense issues after the 2012 presidential election.
In the past Russia has strongly opposed the fortification being built in Europe to intercept ballistic missiles.Its leadership fears the US will use the system against Russia, but the US insists its intended purpose is strictly for defense against countries such as Iran.
That is all.
I was a satellite flight controller in my past life and one of my birds was designed to watch ICBMs during the midcourse phase - when the warheads seperate from the rocket and go to their targets; they are capable of a dozen which surprised me. It didn't matter whose rockets they were watching - the point was they could watch it and the intercept facilities - land or sea - got bearings of where the targets were. Fun stuff.
The love of many conservatives for Putin is really weird. They are attracted to his strength like some teenage crush. How ironic that these conservatives are always saying that Obama is ignoring the law and violating people's rights, while they also admire Putin who is you know an actual dictator. Putin jails his critics on phony criminal charges, he rigs elections and is now annexing another country.

Buchanan goes on to say Putin’s positions in favor of traditional Russian values,
"[Putin] is seeking to redefine the “Us vs. Them” world conflict of the future as one in which conservatives, traditionalists and nationalists of all continents and countries stand up against the cultural and ideological imperialism of what he sees as a decadent west."
Conservatives don't just see the west and President Obama as weak; they also seem envious of Putin's bullying. "There is something odd," Benjamin Wallace-Wells wrote in New York magazine, "about commentators who denounce Putin in the strongest terms and yet pine for a more Putin-like figure in the White House."
As the West becomes increasingly multicultural, less patriarchal and traditional, and more open to gay rights, Russia will be a lodestone for the multitudes who oppose this trajectory. Just as the Communist International, or Comintern, and what Soviet ideologists called the "correlation of forces" sought to unite progressive elements around the globe behind Moscow, the world's traditionalists will now line up behind Putin.
And there is some evidence that this message may be resonating.
In many ways, Putin really looks a lot like a U.S.-style conservative. On the social side, he supports organized religion (in particular the Orthodox Church) and doesn't support Russia's LGBT community, while fiscally he seeks a balanced budget and low taxes. He is hard on terrorism but also steadfast in his opposition to military intervention in Syria, which places him far more in the Republican camp than the Democratic camp.
Spokesmen for several right-wing groups including the American Family Association have praised the Russian law, which prohibits any pro-gay speech or expression that could be accessible to minors. Veteran columnist Pat Buchanan has joined the Putin cheerleading squad. And, shockingly, the usually thoughtful author Rod Dreher, who blogs for The American Conservative, has added his own “1.5 Cheers for Putin.”

The Benghazi escape goat, youtube video creator would disagree!
As far as the rigged elections .. IRS come to mind?
You would think that a Tea Partier would support any policy which is in the best interests of the Unite States of America and no one else.
