Are they serious? Washington is mad about election fraud?

CNSNews.com) - Washington has threatened to review relations with Ukraine, with punitive steps a possibility, if the southeast European nation's government does not investigate allegations of fraud surrounding a presidential election apparently won by a pro-Russian candidate.

2. They are nucking futs!

Wait a minute. I heard on the news yesterday AM the folks in the Ukraine were out in the streets en masse protesting the election. We need balls like those guys do.

OTOH, the Ukraine government can say they are modeling US democracy!

6. Richard Mellon Scaife

Right wing billionaire that funds a lot of stuff, like the hunting of President Clinton. Have a look at "Blinded by the Right".

8. Okay, so what you're saying is that the news source isn't to be

trusted? Or are you just pointing out that this cybernews site is run by RW crackpots. Does that mean the stories probably bullsh*t and I should never read a word from this f*ckers or does it mean that they're reporting actual events, just slanting them?

In other words, is Washington really going to censure the Ukraine for their naughty election antics. Because if that is the case wouldn't that be rich.

10. Cybernet 'appears' for all intents and purposes to be 'unbiased'

But they sneak stuff in once in a while to light the far RW on fire.

Like the article that "found" links between Saddam and Al-Qaeda.
