Yanukovych sounds like an aficionado of DUmmyland. He certainly utilizes their tactics.
They are all eerily similar to toddlers whining about a stolen lollypop.

Yushchenko used it first.

He used exit polling data to claim the election was stolen. Then there were "spontaneous" demonstrations (complete with plasma-screen monitors, and well-prepared tents) and all sorts of pressure to force this re-vote.

Yushchenko supporters here have little room to complain. Their guy did the same thing after the second round, and then got his way after much whining and complaining (plus serious dollars from George Soros).

Now Yushchenko's on the other end of this. Quite frankly, Yanukovich has valid reasons to complain. Did John Thune get a re-vote in 2002? Is Dino Rossi going to get one? Are the Dems going to get an Ohio revote (with their use of exit polling data to claim that election was stolen)? I doubt it in all three cases.

I would love to restore something.
I have had almost 90 cars and am wishing I had one of them now.
When I was a kid i'd buy and sell..
I've had 13 VW"s 2 Mustangs, 5 chevelles, 7-8 Impalas, Triumphs, caddies, etc.....


My all time fav, 1964 Impala SS
283 2bbl, slapstick auto on the floor.
Paid 25 bucks for it in 1970
Wish I still had that!

That's because Yushchenko got it all. One of his biggest supporters was the DNC.

Dioxin has no known fatalities. The record holder was a woman in Austria with a 40% higher rate then Yushchenko and she also lived.

Which left? Yushchenko's main supporters were the EU, the Ukrainian Socialists, UNA-UNSO (Ukrainian National Socialists: Nazis), Greens and Communists (and a few Oligarches like Yulia Tomoshenko who's a billionaire).

Um, the progressive candidate was the winner. Yushchenko's supporters: EU socialists, Ukrainian Socialist Party, UNA-UNSO (Ukrainian Nazis), Greens and Communists. Gee, you mean the MSM didn't point that out crystal clear while they were screaming Iraq quagmire.

And what was Yushchenko's promise to France and Germany? ASAP pull out of 1,700 troops from Iraq.

I would love to lock both Viktors in a padded room and pour the truth serum down both their gullets and just see what the real story is. I am getting where I believe no one.

Soros was not involved. In fact Soros is in business with and has personal friendships with the family of Yuchima. The other rumored connections with Soros to Yushchencko was completely DEBKUNKED.

There was MASSIVE fraud with the first election. All international elections observers agreed with that from the very start.

There was no evidence of fraud in this election. International observers agree.

Boy you really struck out with those silly comments.
