Donetsk Oblast voters are being bombarded with advertisements urging them to support Oleksiy Azarov, the son of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, in the Oct. 28 race for parliament. His slogan: "Solving Problems Together."

You can't compare the nepotism of Ukraine to the little that happens in Canada

while a son might get involved in politics, and surely that helps A LOT in getting you in....you still need to get elected here. Our elections aren't rigged like they are in Ukraine.

The sovok Russophile mafia take care of their own in Zookraine.

At the expense of, and to the detriment of the people.

It's time for that to stop.

As bkrevel said so aptly:

BULL SHIT!

"It happens everywhere" is the stock and pat answer that sovok mafiosi give for all of their own mafia corruption.

They think that they can fool people in Zookraine with that answer, and therefore, severe, rampant nepotism and corruption in Zookraine is somehow OK.

But Zookraine is NOT just like "everywhere."

It's certainly not like Austria, where zAraza Jr. actually lives and has a mansion..

But the mafiosi are out in force - taking care of their own.

All the more reason NOT to vote for a stupid lying blockhead like zAraza Jr.

meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow

It do not matter who is in Government, friends relations cows or sheep !! the choice for Ukraine is...Soviet way of life or Western way of life.....if they look at the bigger picture they MAY change this Mafia and Yanko for ever.....but I have my doubts because they are happy with what they voted for....if they were unhappy they would vote for change....simple.
