Some Reps try to worm their way into Trump admin by making pro-Russia comments, knowing Trumps pro-Russia stance.

Putin is an elected autocrat, don't kid yourself kitty.

Sounds like Obama, except Putin actually cares about the country he is the leader of. Oh, and he is a leader. And has testicles.

Looks like some people are still stewing over the fact that their pro war with Russia candidate didn't get elected.

Does Vladimir Putin kill journalists? | PunditFact

Russia currently ranks 180 out of 199 countries for press freedom, behind Iraq, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to the international watchdog Freedom House.

Though it has never been known for its media independence, Russia’s press freedom and ranking have continuously decreased in the past decade under Putin.


Sure, let's be more like Russia!

Seems like he also is connected to Putin and chairman of the House subcommittee on Europe and Eurasia. It's a good cause to attempt to elevate relations with Russia but he needs to at least be honest. The attacks and murder of the press corp in Russia is significant.

This summer, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher used information he received directly from the Russian government to promote one of President Vladimir Putin’s top priorities: removing the name of the martyred Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky from a global anti-corruption law.
Multiple independent investigations blamed Russian officials for the death in jail of Magnitsky, a whistle-blowing attorney who allegedly uncovered evidence of a $230 million theft by officials of the Putin regime.

I remember when conservatives hated communists. I remember when conservatives hated other nations meddling in our elections. I remember when conservatives hated Putin.

This is exactly where we're at. I don't remember the left being so worried about the U.S.S.R when they were killing millions of their own citizens in their own concentration camps.
The only reason the left now has this faux outrage towards Russia is that Putin ran circles around Obama and showed the world that Turkey was supporting ISIS by allowing their oil through Turkey to be marketed. Putin now hopes and wants to have good relations with the new administration with Obama and Clinton out of the way obstructing Russia's efforts to destroy ISIS. Good for them.

Rohrabacher was a cold war Reagan Republican, sure changed his tune.

This election has shown that conservatives don't actually believe the stuff they talk about. It is meaningless to them.

Yes! That way we won't have to keep have the same discussion over and over again.
