With my newfound interest in and empathy for Vladimir Putin, at least for his desire to serve his countrymen and for his lack of duplicity in things political, drove me to learn that he is a musician. Well, not a professional musician nor maybe even not a terribly exceptional one. But he is, with little doubt, a sincere music lover. Now how can you dislike a music lover no matter how many countries he invades?

Read an interesting take on Putin recently in a shipping trade
magazine (Andrew J. Lawler, Global Trade) that said 'Putin, right or
wrong, sees himself as the best candidate to restore Russia's sense of
national pride, world stature and its economy.' Futhermore, acquiring
territory has not historically been a neat, clean, up-and-up kind of
business of which Putin is well aware. Hawaiians, Native Americans and
Mexicans can well attest to the that in terms of the United States'
conduct. Mr. Lawler also says that Putin is smart to align himself with
the Russian Orthodox Church as opposed to the atheists that preceded him
in leadership positions there. The church connection helps him to win
hearts, and subsequently minds. He is a folk hero to his people. . .
a point of view certainly not "Officially Sanctioned" nor one you will hear much about in the mainstream media.

Athough his list is large, some links don't work, some sources are dubious and some arguments are specious, Dan, From Squirrel Hill does make a particularly good point in the second paragraph below about additional political parties. . .
(from http://danfromsquirrelhill.wordpress.com/2013/08/15/obama-252/)
". . . Every President, every politician, and every human being tells lies and engages in acts of hypocrisy. But Barack Obama does these things to a far greater degree than anyone else that I have ever known of. His campaign promises were so much better sounding than anyone else’s – no lobbyists in his administration, waiting five days before signing all non-emergency bills so people would have time to read them, putting health care negotiations on C-SPAN, reading every bill line by line to make sure money isn’t being wasted, prosecution of Wall St. criminals, ending raids against medical marijuana in states where it’s legal, high levels of transparency. Obama’s promises of these wonderful things sounded inspiring and sincere. They sounded so much better than the promises of any other President. So when Obama broke these promises, it felt so much worse than when other Presidents broke their promises.
In the 2008 United States election, I wrote in Ron Paul for President. In the 2012 election, I voted for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson. Those who are of a more leftist persuasion than myself might want to consider voting for the Green Party in future elections. . . "
