Judas Iscariot; will do anything - ANYTHING - to stay in power, and damn the people; the only thing that's important for him is to retain a seat in government; could have done some good; ended up being a totally worthless disaster<BR/><BR/>Yanukovych - 3 years ago was calling the people goats and worse; today is promising all sorts of things; notwithstanding the efforts of Paul Manafort to re-invent and re-make him, is still just a shill for thug oligarchs; the tiger does not change his stripes, and sheep's clothing does not make a wolf into a sheep<BR/><BR/>You forgot --<BR/><BR/>Lutsenko - another powerful force for democracy; a man with a spine; "free man in a free country";<BR/><BR/>Given the choices, realistically speaking, I think the only choice for Ukrainians is either Lutsenko or Tymoshenko.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, the oligarchy of Yanuk and the PR stays, and people continue to suck eggs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
