re: #81 Sir John Barron

Well that changed seemingly overnight.

But not really. Putin has something of a cult following amongst many conservatives.

He rides barebacked, bare-chested and kills bears with his bare hands.

He runs an autocratic, oligarchic, homophobic theocratic government that skims the best of his country’s resources for the benefit of the few and leaves the rest to fight over the scraps.

Which is just what the GOP would like to implement in America, only difference being that the theocracy would be fundamentalist Protestant-flavored instead of Russian Orthodox.
