Quote from Hoofhearted:
It's notable though, how many on here admire Putin for his bullshit, but detest McCain for his honesty.
Putin is a corrupt, power hungry, politician with only his personal desires driving him, and he is openly ok with that vision of himself. McCain and Obama are the exact same things, except they pretend otherwise. That puts Putin above those two idiots in my book. Even if it is slightly.
It's not admiration, though.
