Russian Exit Polls Show Putin's Party in Landslide Win

Here is something you might be interested in, Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Exit polls conducted by Russian state-controlled companies show President Vladimir Putin's party winning more than 60 percent of the vote in parliamentary elections.

The vote projections were released Sunday evening by Russian media, just minutes after the last polling stations closed in the Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad. The communist party was running a distant second with about 12 percent of the vote.

Two other pro-Kremlin parties were shown clearing the seven percent threshold needed under new election laws to qualify for entry into parliament.

Opposition parties have for weeks charged that the controversial seven percent rule and other new election laws virtually guaranteed a majority for Mr. Putin's United Russia party in the 450-seat State Duma.

Critics also note that "United Russia" was the only party allowed to campaign on national television.

Earlier Sunday, after opposition leader Garry Kasparov cast his vote, he accused the ruling party of, in his words, "not just rigging the vote, but raping the whole electoral system." The former chess champion was freed Thursday after completing a five-day jail sentence for taking part in an anti-Putin demonstration.

In Moscow, Antonia Kalistratovna, 79, told VOA she was voting for Mr. Putin's party because everybody recommended doing so. A young medical student, Ilya, said he was voting for the communists, who promised to improve social benefits.

Final, official tallies not due until December 16.

The constitution prohibits Mr. Putin from running for a third consecutive term as president in March. His name is at the head of United Russia's candidate list, indicating he might become prime minister in the next government, retaining much of his power.

Dr. Pauls views on the war.

War and Foreign Policy

The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. This war has cost more than 3,000 American lives, thousands of seriously wounded, and hundreds of billions of dollars. We must have new leadership in the White House to ensure this never happens again.

Both Jefferson and Washington warned us about entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations. Today, we have troops in 130 countries. We are spread so thin that we have too few troops defending America. And now, there are new calls for a draft of our young men and women.

We can continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or we can refocus on securing America and bring the troops home. No war should ever be fought without a declaration of war voted upon by the Congress, as required by the Constitution.

Under no circumstances should the U.S. again go to war as the result of a resolution that comes from an unelected, foreign body, such as the United Nations.

Too often we give foreign aid and intervene on behalf of governments that are despised. Then, we become despised. Too often we have supported those who turn on us, like the Kosovars who aid Islamic terrorists, or the Afghan jihadists themselves, and their friend Osama bin Laden. We armed and trained them, and now we’re paying the price.

At the same time, we must not isolate ourselves. The generosity of the American people has been felt around the globe. Many have thanked God for it, in many languages. Let us have a strong America, conducting open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations.

North American Union

What Is The North American Union?

The phrase "North American Union" conjures the image of the European Union, truly the prototype for what our elites have planned. One of the first orders of business will be a borderless North America. According to "Building a North American Community" (a Council on Foreign Relations task force report), the playbook for the construction of the North American Union, "Canada and the United States should consider eliminating restrictions on labor mobility altogether and work toward solutions that, in the long run, could enable the extension of full labor mobility to Mexico as well." Full labor mobility throughout North America would mean no borders between the United States, Mexico, and Canada, spelling the end to our independents.

Why should I care whether the United States joins a North American Union?

If you care about national sovereignty, our cherished American freedoms, the United States Constitution, American independence, retaining the American standard of living, and keeping English as the "real" language of our country, among other unique values and features that adhere to the American way of life, you should care whether we retain our unique identity, legally and in fact!

What can I do?

At this point, you should let your elected representatives know of your concern about the progress of the North American Union and the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, stating unequivocally that you are against this initiative. As the activities of the SPP increase, there will be other actions you can take, and you can Contact your elected officials online.
