#1 Hmm. Would you rather have a leader with a brain, a heart, or a soul?

#2 I thought she was going to make foriegners like us. How would questioning Putin's committment to Christianity improve her electability? If she plans to court the evangelicals, she will be every bit as successful as Romney would be if he reaches out to the NAACP.

#3 an actual quote of her? Could it be that a Paki paper misinterpreted something she said about Bush looking into Putins eyes?

#4 Dignified comment, but no more than I'd expect from her. He wants to put the Soviet Union back together more than anything, and he'll do anything he can to get it done. He's duplicitous, conniving and ruthless, but not soulless. I'd MUCH rather have him as prez than her if those were my only two choices.

#5 Interesting. I'm thinking it could be Putin realizes that things like culture and religion unite people better than bogus ideologies like Marxism. Wasn't one of the lessons they learned in WWII that when they called on people to defend the mother land the people tended to respond better than when the call was to defend international socialism? Hillary can talk about the man's soul all she wants. I wouldn't judge his commitment to Jesus anymore than I would hers (pot calling kettle black). But he is clearly not stupid. OTOH, to deliberately insult the powerful leader of a country like Russia with whom you may one day have to negotiate important bilateral agreements doesn't strike me as being all that smart.

#6 Whether Pooty has soul or not, this is a case of simple projection.

#7 Her remark that Putin had no soul

She's jealous that Putin negotiated a better contract when he sold his soul.
