Conservatives harbor an odd admiration for Vladimir Putin
March 07, 2014|By David Horsey


David Horsey / Los Angeles Times
It is rather curious, given the American conservative movement’s long and dramatic history of anti-Communism and anti-Russian saber-rattling, that many leading voices on the right are speaking about Russian President Vladimir Putin with varying degrees of admiration.*
For some, it is just a matter of comparing Putin’s toughness with President Obama’s alleged weakness. Without suggesting any love for Putin, Republicans in Congress have asserted that Russia’s incursion into Ukraine would not have happened had Obama not been such a wimp in his dealings with Moscow.
This line has been pushed especially hard by the foreign policy Tweedledee and Tweedledum of the Senate GOP caucus, John McCain and Lindsey Graham. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio echoed that sentiment at the CPAC conference in Washington on Thursday.*

Up until about 18 months ago, I remember with crystal clarity that conservatives were wailing, complaining, and bellowing that Obama was not being "tough enough" on Russia/Putin.

I wonder why the drastic change in tone all of a "sudden"?

Orangetweet evengot the Republican platform changed to suck up to the Russians.
 
Hypocrisy has never run this deep.

American conservatives ought to be ashamed of themselves...but they do not have enough self-respect for that...let alone love of country and/or principle.

Let them love Putin for now. The moment a Democrat is in office...they will attack any attempt at rapprochement. They are okay with a draft-dodging, philandering pig right now...but will paint much more decent people as those things when a Democrat is in office.

The fact that they can abide the stink of American conservatism at this point in time...tells you everything you have to know about them.

Its fox news

watch it some time


the lies that fly out of that bat hole of a station is amazing


their watchers have been told (by fox) that everyone else is lying AND ONLY FOX TELLS THE TRUTH



how can someone be so stupid as to fall for that old con mans game


they are like the dumb farm boy who would go town and hit the bar

the first guy who spots him buys him a beer and procedes to tell him that all other people who come to this bar are liars


the other five people at the bar and the bar tender tells the kid


Don't believe that old fart he always lies


and the dumb farm boy sides with the guy who bought him a beer

three hours later

hes bought all the rounds


and is rolled for all his cash just out side of town
