Democracy 101 according to W - read it and weep:

[robbedvoter]

An unsmiling, visibly irritated Mr Putin squirmed as he listened to Mr Bush tell a press conference he had been told that Washington had "concerns about Russia's commitment in fulfilling" the "universal principles" of democracy. "Democracies always reflect a country's customs and culture, and I know that," Mr Bush said. "Yet democracies have certain things in common; they have a rule of law, and protection of minorities, a free press, and a viable political opposition."

1. "A viable political opposition" that Bush won't allow to be within a

mile of him! "A free press" that is totally owned by his good buddies. "Protection of minorities" except when they're trying to have equal rights. "Rule of law" except when it might apply to Bush & Co.

this Administration.

3. Proof to me that he was in the coup to dismantle democracy in US

At times I thought he only knew about the killing and him getting rich, but apparently they told him that stuff too.
