Don't be surprised if he tells us Michigan will win over Ukraine by 20 points.

Recognizing Putin's strengths is not "cheering" him.

When pro football teams study game films to learn about and recognize their opponents' strengths so that they may better counteract them, is that "cheering" them? No.

I would have to agree. The puerile assertions of "cheerleading for Putin" are very odd considering they're coming from C-D posters I used to respect even though we disagreed on issues. This latest "Putin cheerleading" offensive has exposed several C-Ders I used to respect as mindless minions. I'm actually disappointed at learning such.

Ít blows me away that some people hate Obama SO much that they stand with Putin and Russia. Lord, I have now seen it all.

Russia has lots and lots of open territory in Siberia, perhaps you should volunteer to homestead there? Putin is such a great leader that sure it will be a joy to live under his reign.

Putin is a tyrannical thug who fixes elections, jails his opposition and takes over territory that is not his to take. There is nothing "brilliant" about that. You may as well be calling Kim Jung Un brilliant for how he manages to tactically maintain power in North Korea.

Tea party in fact is a domestic tax movement within the republican party; nothing more. Basically if you look at its issue that is clear to most people.

Perhaps, as so many of them now are perpetuating this lie.

They'll next claim that when historians note that Hitler was a talented public speaker, they must be Hitler fans.

Folks, the liberals have lost it entirely! They have resorted to "I know you are but what am I" children's logic.

Next they will be claiming that anyone who questions Obama has cooties!

In socialism/communism the people (the few/1%) at the top always build wealth on the backs of the peasants (the poor).

It's refreshing to see you taking the middle ground much more than you were.

I wish more of the extremists, on both sides, would follow your path. We could get this country back on track by erasing lines in the sand, and dropping the blinders of ideology.
