So should it be taken, US stand with EU Soviets? US congressmen move against capitalist nation in socialist orgy..how nice.

[McGavin999]

Come on, you guys have to know what a nutcase John McCain is, and Lieberman is running for president. Both would love to have Soros behind them.

[Cicero]

Soros at work. Lieberman and McCain don't represent the administration.

[Darksheare]

Take McCain and LIEBIGman seriously?
NO.
Never.
No-one should ever take them seriously.

[Brian Allen]

<< US congressmen move against capitalist nation .... >>

"Capitalist nation?"

Now there's an Unknown Ideal!

Someone, perhaps a Russian, should write a book about it.

[gcruse]

Yes, this is ridiculous. As ridiculous as Russia stiffing the US over Iraq.

[Mo1]

Well this is interesting

[chudogg]

just because the russians have a flat tax does not make them a capitalist country, the russians aren't nearly a capitalist nation

[Reeses]

the elite club of world’s most advanced industrialized countries, measured by economic output.

Excluding government consumption France has less economic output than many US states. How is it they still qualify? They should be the first to get booted.

[navyblue]

My only comment is that if Lantos is for it, I'm agin it!

[Paleo Conservative]

Keep Russia dump France!

[Brilliant]

Booting the Russians out of G8 won't help the prospects for the westernization of Russia.

[Lancey Howard]

What on earth are these clowns thinking about?
Gotta keep Russia in there.
Russia is getting more and more "capitalist" every day while the US seems to be getting more and more socialist every day. Somebody long ago predicted that "the trains will eventually pass each other going in opposite directions".
Man, was that prediction ever right on.

[Lancey Howard]

Condemning Russia for what he termed the "political persecution" of former Yukos CEO Mikhail Khodorkovsky — indicted on seven charges in October and since held in Moscow’s notorious Matrosskaya Tishina pretrial facility — Soros told the gathering

This sounds like a good idea for Bush. Throw Soros in Graterford for a few months.
Watch him walk out carrying a purse.

[A. Pole]

Lieberman said that Putin’s attacks on democracy violate the spirit of the G8 and

Prosecution of corrpt "oligarchs" by the elected government is not an "attack on democracy".

[Spartano]

Here, you can find an interwiew with John McCain: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/middle_east/july-dec03/mccain_11-06_a.html

[Spartano]

US has to worry if Mother Russia, China and Japan change their reserves from US dollars into EURO. The US dollar can suffer a dramatic devaluation. Just few weeks ago, Putin warned that Russia might start to sell her oil in Euros.

[Sparta]

Why should Russia be expelled from G8? Isn't it the most capitalist nation in the group?

[endthematrix]

Nefarious PR for soros and both Senators. All have axes to grind and for Soros maybe some millions to be made. Start of Bush bash power play.

[Spartano]

The situation is heating up.
