If Joseph Stalin had been alive today, he would have had a field day about how the republicans time and time and time again is cheating, stealing and other vice make Voting a joke in the United States of America.. He would have make Pravda, the official newspaper in USSR, drooling for weeks at a time, to show how bad "democracy" did it in US, and that they should be happy to have a leader with a firm hand on the ship...

I guess, Lenin, Stalin, and the lot of communist leaders in USSR, now is having a good time, looking down from whatever place they are today - to look about how things are in USA of today.. At least Joseph Stalin var brutally honest about the election stuff - you vote for me, or you have a nice time in Siberia the next couple of years...

It IS a reason OSCE is sending people who should keep an eye on polling stations around in the US, as the last couple of elections have been, at least doubtfully, and where the irregularity about elections have smeared more than one election... And it is pretty clear, that the republicans - or at least they who have the power, doesn't enjoy been looked over their shoulder - in case not everything goes as planned. After all, OSCE is an organization, who have people who know how to look for election troubles... They have been in "mine field" in many cases to get elections as honest as it is possible under difficult situations...

The US of yesterday - who I might believe most of us on the outside still have a image at, as a reality in US, is on the road to a wreck it looks like.. More and more and more the republicans is making more and more desperate measures to make their own reality, a real reality.. Not something they talk about in looked up rooms, where no one is allowed to be... The blatant disrespect mr Romney was showing, to all to se at a private found raising diner (to the sum of 50.000 a peace, so I hope the dinner was great) is rather symbolic of the outright disdain the higher ups in the Republican Party, is showing for the large parts of the american electorate... You might have disdain for the "little man" but you doesn't tell it outright as mr Romney did - in the age of digital electronic, where you can be taped Crystal clear - you better watch what you say - someone can - and will tape it, if you talk like mr Romney did - and with the candid support of the people who was in the room (not the servants, but they who was at the dinner).. And with a few ones out there, who have just disdain for "the little people" at a whole..

It is ironic of sorts - the one thing who kept the "elite" from doing away with unions, and what we today Will call the "middle class" was the fear that enough people would try out the communists - it WAS the fear on the conservative side, in the 1920s and 1930s all over the world, and FDRs New Deal at least solved some of the causes for a rather radical solutions from the "lower classes" in US... And the cold war with their fear of labor rights - and union bustings the last 30 or so years, also have made a dent in a radical solutions to the problems in the US... But to be honest - how long will the working man and woman in the US, accepting what they are been treated as in the future?.. In 1905, a couple of years before the great war, and the great Revolutions of February and October 1917, a all powerfully Russian Emperor could state - the State and the Empire is at peace and the population is loving and caring for their Monarch and the government... in 1917, after Imperial Russia had lost the first world war, and the state was in a state of nuclear disaster - not able to govern outside of St Petersburg, and with a State in despairs, the Emperor had to leave his crown and go into a form of intern excil, for him, and for the royal familiy it ended rather bad, they was killed by revolutionaries in Yekaterinburg on the other side of the Ural mountains - in Sibiria... And most of the royals was either hunted down and killed - put in camps, or had to flee to whoever wanted to give them a harbor for their security...

I just hope, that would not be the case for the US, as revolutions, is painfully, hurtfully and tragically...
